Cypress Pointe, located in a quiet area about a mile from Interstate 4, offers all the amenities. A large Winn-Dixie grocery store is within walking distance and many theme parks are within a short driving distance. The large deeded units, about 1700 sq. ft., consist of 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, sleeping 8, and contain a washer/dryer. Spend any week of the year at the resort, including Christmas, New Years or July 4. Due to health issues and inability to travel we are forced to give this away. If you were to purchase this week at the resort the cost would be in excess of $10,000. Yearly maintenance is approximately $1200.

This is a resort that we have exchanged into a couple of times. If I recall correctly, it is multi-story with no elevators. If you are using it for trading, I think this negatively impacts the trade value. If you don't mind the stairs, that's probably a decent maintenance fee for a 3-br.

Cypress Pointe Resort is outstanding. We love it.

Cypress Pointe Resort (formerly, Cypress Pointe Phase One) is the 1st timeshare we bought -- resale all the way, twice.

We got the timeshare bug in 2002. After saying No Thanks at a Kissimmee FL timeshare tour (Vacation Village At Parkway), we discovered timeshare resales. That led to discovering TUG, which led to buying Cypress Pointe resale for $3,500, sight unseen.

We booked a vacation at Cypress Pointe right away, & loved it (the vacation & the resort). The unit & the resort, which we were seeing for the 1st time, were even better than we were expecting -- very strong Wow! factor. Filled with pride of ownership, we signed up for the Owner Update, which we discovered right away was nothing but a timeshare sales pitch. On tour, the timeshare seller showed us a unit at Cypress Pointe Phase Two (later renamed Diamond Grand Villas Resort).

Wowed even more by Phase Two, we went home & resold Phase One for $3,500 & bought an equivalent 3BR lock-off unit at Phase Two for about $2,000 (eBay all the way). Main difference between those sister timeshares, which are right across the street from each other, is elevators in all the condo buildings at Phase Two. Cypress Pointe Resort, as noted, has 3-level walk-up condo buildings.


In 2006, we bought back into Cypress Pointe, resale again -- a biennial floating week for $500, maintenance fees prepaid. Then for the next several years, we owned on both sides of the street. A few years later, we gave both of'm away -- Phase Two (Grande Villas) to a fellow TUG member, Cypress Pointe to the timeshare company (Diamond).

We still have strong fondness for Cypress Pointe Resort, as well as for the Grande Villas across the street. But now that The Chief Of Staff & I are hard-core sr. citz. (late 70s), we appreciate the Grande Villas elevators more & enjoy the Cypress Pointe walk-ups less.

Owners, renters, guests, & exchangers at Cypress Pointe still get to use all the pools & recreational facilities at Grande Villas Resort across the street, & vice versa. We'll gladly vacation there again, either side of the street, if we get the chance -- any level at Grande Villas, ground level at Cypress Pointe.

The trading value for our 3 Br has been exceptionally good. Since our purchase in 1994, we have stayed several times at the Manhattan Club in NYC and have stayed at first class resorts in Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands, Scottsdale, and Newport Beach to name some locations.
