We stayed at the Marriott Horizons Vacation Club (a condo resort, but rooms can be rented nightly). Horizons was nice, but don't be deceived by "villas"; rooms and condos are in buildings. I recommend getting at least the two-bedrooms; otherwise, there's not much room, and your TV/mini-kitchen is right there at the foot of the bed (not appealing).
Our one-room was not big enough (queen bed and pull-out sofa), and our bath only had a shower. There's an extensive outdoor pool area (closed at our visit) but a wonderful indoor pool and hot jet spa. Outside, there are grills available. A play area is only open until 5pm, and since we were out during the day, we did not get to use it. A gym and gathering room with movie viewing (at check-in a schedule is provided) are available. There is no on-site dining or groceries, but Krispy Kreme, Denny's, etc., are not far away.
I recommend the Pirate Cove Mini Golf (walking distance) for entertaining kids. The staff was not very friendly on my visit (from the front desk to the maids), but I feel it was due to lack of training/experience and hope this has been resolved. Overall, I recommend the place and will try it again in a larger "villa".

The club house area that has the front desk is a beautiful inviting building. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful when arriving. I have asked for an early check in in advance and our room was ready when we arrived about 11:30am. At the time of check-in, I asked for a high chair which was delivered to our room later that afternoon. The club house area also contained an indoor pool, and indoor children’s pool. There was a children’s play area with many children’s activities, a den with a fireplace, and a game room in the building too.
Outside of this building and in the middle of all the condos is a huge outdoor pool area that also has a children’s pool. During the summer they also serve drinks and ice cream in the outdoor pool area.
We rented a two-bedroom, two-bath condo. Our condo was very clean and nicely furnished. The master bedroom had a king bed with a private bathroom. This bathroom only had a shower though. The living area had nice neat furniture and has a sleeper sofa. There was a dining area with a bench seat on one side and chairs on the other. The kitchen was fully furnished with a dishwasher and all new appliances and nice dishes. There was also a washer and dryer both in the room. The second bedroom had two queen beds and the second bathroom was a huge full bathroom with a tub shower unit. There were three TVs: one in each bedroom and one in the living room. The living room also had a nice sized balcony that overlooked the outdoor pool area. They delivered a newspaper to our door every morning.
