Oak Plantation Villas by Starwood ?

[Bella the Ball 360]

Has anyone stayed at Oak Plantation? I just ran across it on Expedia and since it is the same company as the Vistana I was wondering what it was like. I noticed from the virtual tour that it was not as fancy as Vistana Villiages but on the off chance I cannot get a reservation at one of my favorites next summer I am as always scouting out alternatives.

We plan on staying there the first week in November so don't have an opinion yet but found these opinions helpful:

We spent November 1 = November 8th here and just loved it! The complex was on the small size, but nicely landscaped and very clean. We stayed in a larger one bedroom with living room area and full washer/dryer. My parents stayed in a smaller one bedroom with a combo washer/dryer. They found a great deal at 49.99 per night and were very happy with their one bedroom.

They had a 'dive in' night while we were there. It was a movie played outside by the pool - people seemed to enjoy it. The staff were very friendly. The complex is in a circle and the sign past the gate directs you to the Fitness Area, Activities area, pool area and ends with, "PS don't worry it's a circle". That sign made me giggle each time we drove in.

There is free coffee available each morning at the reception area. My daughter enjoyed going out to the gazebo and feeding the ducks. The staff were great about washing down all walkways several times a day. Both room locations were very quiet.

It was nice to have a bathroom with drawers and a medicine cabinet, you can tell this used to be an apartment complex. We enjoyed having these features. There is another post about their stay and rather than repeat, I'll just link.
