Mike Ditka Resorts Runaway Beach Club

Has anyone stayed here? I think I can get a good rate on a 2 bedroom villa. Looking for 2 nights. We will be staying in a Windsor Hills house for a week (Sat - Sat), so looking for a nice place for the weekend before we fly out on Monday morning. It looks like a nice place and I can get it for $221 total for the 2 nights with tax and resort fees. Cheaper than the Buena Vista Suites, the other one I was considering.

We stayed at Runaway Beach Resort last Aug. for 3 nights before we checked into Disney. We really liked it. It was clean and nice. We had a 2 bedroom/2 bath. The master had a king bed with a bath. The second bedroom had a twin and a double, which my 3 girls shared. The second bathroom was in the hall beside the washer and dryer. The living room has 2 queen size sleeper sofas. My two boys each took a pull out. There were 3 tv's, one in each room. The kitchen was really nice with granite tops and all the cooking supplies you needed. We did bring dishwasher tabs as well as Tide and Bounce and paper towels. We did not have daily housecleaning, but they did bring fresh towels and take out the trash. The pool was really fun, the kids loved it and I loved the bright colors. There was a computer room and also a basketball court. We passed a Walmart on our way in, but I shopped at Publix which was right up the road.

We would stay at Runaway again this Aug. but it's cheaper to stay at Disney the whole 12 days verses breaking it up like we did last year. Our rate last year must have an introductory rate, $103.00 plus a $5.00 resort fee. I just checked recently to see if the rates have dropped and they haven't. I would stay there again if I could get a decent rate. I liked having a washer and dryer.

How did you get such good rate, I can't get a rate (online) under $200 a night?

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and booked it because the rate seemed really good. I wasn't sure how long they would offer the rate. Can you tell me how far out from the parks it is?

I got the rate from an email from AirTran. If you want me to forward the email to you, let me know your email. The rate I got was $89/ night plus $10 resort fee. The email says to stay 2 nights at Runaway Beach Resort and receive free upgrade to 2 bedroom villa. There is also a special for the Mike Ditka Lighthouse Key Resort and Spa.
