Villas at Summer Bay vs. Summer Bay Resort

[dj2]

I'm so new to this...sorry for the stupid questions...but what's the difference between these two? Both occasionally come up on the gov. employees site for $249 for the week. Are they the same? Is one better? Would you stay there?

thanks,
dj

according to the www.afvclub.com site, the villas are smaller. I have a 2BR condo on hold at Summer Bay through that site right now...I'm still looking for any info I can get my hands on! The reviews at www.tripadvisor.com are mixed, but I think that's mainly due to a timeshare deal gone bad.

The property is a little farterh out from WDW than some of the others.

thanks. i'll look at that site. hadn't thought to check it because we're just gov, not military.

if you get a chance, please post back after you stay to let us know how it was. (I thought you posted elsewhere that you were leaning toward silver lakes?)

I don't think there's any real difference in the two sites. My husband is DoD, so we are eligible for both it looks to me that the search and layout is exactly the same.

honestly, I have made no decision as to where we are going to stay...I keep cancelling and rebooking the hold that I have...one of these times it is going to catch up with me, LOL! I am trying to decide between Silver Lake, Summer Bay, and Cypress Point Grandvillas...wishing someone would make the decision for me

I did a search and here's a thread that discusses this. I'd be happy to answer additional questions though!

I have a couple of questions

**are the floors carpeted or mainly tile?

**did you use any of the lake facilities? the trampoline, climbing wall, etc. if you did, what age are they geared for?

**is there a price for these activities?

thanks!

I believe that the villas had tile floors in the kitchen living room area( actually a big rectangle) and capet in the bedrooms. In the larger condos, I think they are mostly tile, but not sure.


**did you use any of the lake facilities? the trampoline, climbing wall, etc. if you did, what age are they geared for? these items were not there when I stayed there. We did use the pool and pool bar.

**is there a price for these activities? I 'd call them and ask, whenever I called, t hey were very accomodating and answered all my questions.

Sorry I could not be more help.
