Yes I am looking for best family suited but also clean and modern- not one of the older run down locations (if there is such a thing) with few amenities.
When we were there, I didn't walk to the Hotel from Sabal, so I am not sure how far a walk it would be.
Thank you to all.
Traveling with small children (3 and 5) I like the resorts with the many pools and the activities including mini golf, kids center etc.
We will check them out next year.

Available inventory is definitely the challenge. IIRC, this time last year there was a lot of fall 2012 inventory available in II. This year, there is hardly nothing. The inventory simply isn't there.
I have been watching for a MGV or MGK 3BR unit (and watching 2BRs also) and very little has become available at Lakeshore Reserve.
Here is a promotional video I got from Marriott when I was considering buying before the crash. Whew.
I suspect this video shows far more of what was planned for Lakeshore Reserve than what was finally done. Maybe an idea of what it might eventually be...if the DC succeeds long term.

I am not sure any Marriott can be considered "run down". Are you trading in and if so what month(s) are you after?
Actually, the video isn't far off in appearance...I don't remember a sand-bordered pool area, and the water slide is definitely smaller than depicted, but otherwise, layout and style is fairly accurate, for a puff-piece. Note that the pink high rise in the background is the JW, not part of the MVCI property.

Which of the many Orlando MVC resorts is the top one?
Which has most amenities?
It's hard to find photos of these places online.
Thanks
Just spent 8 nights at Lakeshore. I liked it a lot. The lazy river is a great idea. The unit was very nice and upscale. I do have a small complaint when it came to staff. The bathroom under the slides was not kept clean regularly. Some of the staff seemed like they hated the work and didn't care that it showed.
Hi,
We really like Lakeshore and the pool area and the outdoor living room/breezeway room is great
When we were there last December we met people who showed us their three bedroom townhouse.
I too found it to be dark and cramped at the entrance and the living area also felt kind of small. There was also no privacy for their deck.
I think that the high rise units offer a better set up and more privacy.
The first thing my wife said was "why is the living room so small?" It probably isn't smaller than the 2BR but it sure feels it when it does not have an open connection to the dining and kitchen area. The extra square footage is definitely all in the extra bedroom. The master bedroom by the way is the smallest bedroom if you exclude the bathroom. The open balcony doesn't bother me but next time we will try a 2 or 3 BR in the main buildings.
It seems easy enough to be able to decsern a 3BR townhome from a 3BR flat in an II exchange before confirming. The bar size fridge would exist in the unit details of a 3BR flat but not the townhome. I suppose you could do the same with the 2BR unit, though those 2BR dedicated flats have such a great location it would be good if there were a way to identify those from the 2BR townhome.
