We just got back from a vacation that included a week in a private beach-front pool home a few miles north of Disney's VB resort and we took the opportunity to look around at VB - love it! Our family agrees that if we do another beach vacation it will be at VB. It is beautiful, lots of activites planned if you want to join in, it looks like they have "graded" the beach front, it didn't seem to have the sharp drop off ours did. The CMs were all very friendly. We didn't use the pool and didn't ask, the CM at the front desk told us they were sold out the night before so we didn't want to use up valuable pool space. 
DH loved it so much we're thinking about adding on!
If you're going soon take some Off or something with deet - the no see ums are BAD right now!
FYI, it took us 2 hours to get from there to the Contemporary - we took 192 there and the beeline/95 back and each took the same amount of time.
