Search the board for Williamsburg. There've been some enthusiastic postings about it during the last couple of days.

My family & I will be staying @ Turtle Cay in Va Beach in the next week. I will be sure to post a trip report of my findings when I return.

There are several nice choices there with the Marriott heading the list. But unless you're going high season (4th of July for example), you can likely rent for far less. If you're a golfer, getting in under a Marriott owners week will give you free golf but non Marriott exchangers don't get this perk. If you place a trade request for the Marriott there, you should get it if you plan enough in advance.

We recently stayed at Turtle Cay (cash) for 3 nights (June 19-22). It was really great, and I feel the rooms matched up with DVC standards. This was our first visit to VA Beach and we were impressed with the beach! Have a great time!

We just returned from Marriott's Manor Club at Ford's Colony Williamsburg VA. 1st time using dvc points for non-dvc vacation. We got 1bedroom sunday-sunday. Resort is beautiful, very nice accomodations with similar set-up to dvc, but has formal dining room along with snack counter, same master bedroom and bath with jacuzzi in bedroom and shower toilet in adjoining room, full kitchen, stack washer/dryer, gas fireplace, sleep sofa , huge TV/vcr in livingroom, tv in bedroom, enclosed screened porch, 2 outdoor pools and one indoor, 4 tennis courts, shuffle board, arcade, pool table, fitness room and lockers, movie rentals, snack area and store, outdoor gas grills and picnic tables, on site golf course, weekly adult and children activites list include: pool games, tennis and arcade tournaments, wine and hor's heurves reception, scavenger hunts, movie nights, and many more. Staff were very helpful and there is a full-time concierge to help you with attraction tickets, golf times, or anything. We really had a great time visiting Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Water Country (all very close to resort), National Marine Center in Norfolk(30 miles away), great restaurants. It was a relaxing vacation with some learning for DS and his friend (both 14). I used 160 points for 7 nights..I feel well worht it. 1Bedroom has rack of $600.00/ night. I don't know about the II trades, but having experienced the Marriott vacation club, I would not hestitate to stay there again if my plans were convenient to one. Now, the count-down to bcv for 12/26/04!

Thank you all for all your suggestions. We booked today for 9/18 thru 9/25 (sat-sat). We only wanted a 1 bdrm but their were non avail. The CM i was speaking to said hold on. When she came back to the line she said she had spoken to her supervisor and they would give us a 2 bdrm at the 1 bdrm rate of 144 pts. Not bad even some pixie dust for a non-disney get a way. We will be sure to post a report when we get back.

thanks again,
