Villa, 3 Bedrooms, Balcony

Yes. The Villa, 3 Bedrooms, Balcony category has a private balcony reached from the living area. Villas at the resort also have a private porch or balcony, so it works as a quiet spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down after a day at the parks.

The villa has three double beds plus a double sofa bed, spread across the bedrooms and living area. It sleeps up to 8 guests. That makes it a good fit for two families or a multigenerational group, with a bedroom for each couple or set of children.

The villa has three private bathrooms, so a full group isn't queuing for one. The master bath has a whirlpool tub, and the bathrooms have shower/bathtub combinations, hair dryers and towels. Bed sheets and premium bedding are supplied.

Yes. The fully equipped kitchen comes with cookware, dishware and utensils, and there is kitchen bar seating plus separate living and dining areas. An in-unit washer and dryer makes longer stays easy. For a day off from cooking, the resort has four restaurants, and The Marketplace sells grab-and-go meals and cold drinks.

The villa includes accessibility features: an accessible bathtub, grab bars in the bathtub and near the toilet, a height-adjustable showerhead, lever door handles, low-height bathroom outlets, wheelchair-width doorways and a visual fire alarm. The unit is reached via exterior corridors. The TV has closed captioning.

Marriott's Grande Vista has heated outdoor pools with whirlpool spas in several areas, open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., weather permitting. Note that no lifeguards are on duty and children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. There is also a complimentary 24-hour fitness center, pickleball, a sports complex, The Spa at Grande Vista, and golf next door. The Golfside and Clubside Village pools are smaller and tend to be a little calmer.

The resort is about a 4–6 minute drive to SeaWorld Orlando, roughly 8 minutes to the Orange County Convention Center, and about 12–15 minutes to Universal Orlando Resort. Walt Disney World is roughly 20–25 minutes away. The resort has no theme park or airport shuttle, so most guests drive or use rideshare. The I-RIDE Trolley stops near the main entrance. If you're flying into Orlando International Airport, it's about a 17–19 minute drive.

There are no resort fees. Rental reservations carry a daily self-parking charge plus tax, while owner stays may include parking. The resort is cashless, so bring a credit card and government-issued photo ID. A refundable security deposit is taken at check-in, and the main guest must be at least 18. Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome.

Marriott's Grande Vista is inland, so the villa has no beach of its own. The nearest ocean beach is Cocoa Beach, about 45–60 minutes' drive east, which makes a good day trip. On-site you can swim in the resort's heated pools or rent paddle boats and fishing gear on the lake.
