Villa, 1 Bedroom, Balcony

The private balcony at Marriott's Grande Vista looks across the resort grounds, so it works well for morning coffee or an evening outside. The resort sits on a large lake and next to the golf club, but the exact outlook depends on the villa you are assigned.

The bedroom has 1 king bed, and the living room has 1 double sofa bed. The villa sleeps 4 guests. Occupancy is capped at 4 in total, adults and children combined. Bedding for the sofa bed is requested in advance and depends on availability at check-in.

At 883 sq. ft., the villa has a bedroom, a living area, a dining area with table seating and a full kitchen. The kitchen has cookware, dishware and utensils, and there is an in-unit washer and dryer. That setup suits week-long stays and families who want to prepare some of their own meals.

The villa has a private bathroom with a shower and tub combination, a hair dryer and towels. The unit also has accessibility features: an accessible bathtub, grab bars in the tub and near the toilet, a height-adjustable showerhead, low-height bathroom outlets, lever door handles and wheelchair-width doorways.

Marriott's Grande Vista has hotel-style guest rooms, 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom villas. This 1-bedroom villa is a good fit for a couple or a small family of up to four. A 2-bedroom villa raises the combined occupancy to 8 and suits larger groups or two families sharing.

Guests can use the outdoor heated pools and whirlpool spas (7 a.m. to 11 p.m., weather permitting) and the 24-hour fitness center, which is complimentary. There are no resort fees, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the stay. The Sports Complex, pickleball courts, table tennis and clubTHRIVE wellness classes are also on site, along with The Spa at Grande Vista, which takes appointments by phone or email. A weekly activities schedule is at check-in and in the lobby. The Sports Complex has a renovation scheduled for April 20 to May 24, 2026.

The resort has four main pool areas, including the Village Center pool near the lake and the smaller Golfside and Clubside Village pools. None is officially adults-only, but the smaller ones tend to be calmer. No lifeguards are on duty, and children 12 and under must be with an adult at all times. Inflatable floats are not allowed, apart from infant floats, life jackets and swim armbands.

There are four on-site restaurants: Copa Loca Bar & Grill (poolside, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.), The Grill at Grande Vista in the golf clubhouse, The Grande Cove Restaurant and Mist Pool Bar (pizza, salads and sandwiches until 10:30 p.m.), and Brewcoast Coffee Co. (6:30 to 11:30 a.m.). The Marketplace sells grab-and-go meals from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the villa kitchen covers the rest.

The resort has no theme park or airport shuttle, so most guests drive or use rideshare. Orlando International Airport is about 15 miles away, and a rideshare averages around $39. The Orange County Convention Center is roughly 2.9 miles away, and the nearest beach, Cocoa Beach, is a 45 to 60 minute drive. Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. The minimum check-in age is 18. A credit card and photo ID are required, and the resort is cashless. Rental reservations pay self-parking of $30 plus tax per vehicle per day. Pets are not allowed, but service animals are welcome.
