Don't expect Disney characters and you'll be just fine. The recreation staff was the best part! The young ladies and men did an excellent job during the many activities out children participated in. The kids enjoyed the pool that was heated enough for them to use even though it was in the 50's outside.

We had a 2 room villa. The room was very large and perfect for 6 of us. The staff around the resort were some of the most pleasurable people to deal with. The housekeeping staff were very polite and helpful. You needed it, and they got it!

Also, we had an excellent view of the marsh. I asked for a good view and I'm glad I did. It was such a relaxing view. We stayed in #2211. It was a nice and quiet location and on the first floor. They had hot chocolate and cookies daily. I would recommend taking advantage of the full kitchen. We went to the Walmart and got everything we needed. There's a few grocery stores closer as well. Only downside is everything is hidden. You just sort of find it by chance so GPS is kind of necessary.

My family are new DVC members. During this winter break, we decided to surprise our children with a 'Disney' trip that would be fun! The resort did not disappoint us. From the moment we arrived until the moment we said goodbye to our 'home' we enjoyed every minute. The space was clean and well appointed. We stayed in the main building, the Live Oak Lodge. Everyone was very happy and accommodating. There are activities planned for all day through the evening, and although it is December, the pool was heated to 82 degrees for swimming (the children really enjoyed that). We even met Shadow, the resort mascot for a photo session where she signed autographs. Loved this resort and will most definitely make this trip 'home' again.

This is one of our favorite vacations for a kick-back relaxing time. As a Disney resort you would expect it to be noisy and full of children but our children are grown and we've never found it to be noisy. The resort is on its own island and next to a marina. You can stroll across the marina bridge to various top-rate restaurants for dinner. Most of them have live music so it's very festive yet relaxing. The beach and beach house are terrific; you can relax by the beach house pool or by the ocean. The beach house has a convenient snack bar serving lunch and snacks. Great place for a wonderful, relaxing vacation.

My parents are Disney vacation owners. For the christmas holiday, we were invited to the HHO disney resort. This place is so nice. We were here in a low season. Les than half the resort was full. My nephews attended the dance part for 6~12 year olds while my brothers and sisters in law went our to Coligny.

The beach areas was quiet. Even in december the pool water was was warm enough for a waste volleyball game.

In december, this resort is a ghost town, but my family made the best of our holiday. The staff was friendly. The area is family friendly.

What we come to expect from disney resorts, this place delivers.
