Great Family Vacation

We had a great vacation at Wyndham Kingsgate. We booked through Sun or Snow rentals & they were super friendly and very reasonably priced. The pictures on their site were exactly what the room looked like, except for the kitchen, which looked much nicer & recently updated. Basically how it works is, Sun or Snow is a company that owns timeshares through Wyndham, and they rent their weeks to you through Homeaway. So this review is about both companies.
Things we liked about the resort were: the pools (they had a huge family pool, a nice indoor pool, a hot tub that fit around 10 people, and an adults only pool- our favorite), the free video & billiard games, exercise classes, and mini golf, the in-room washer/dryer, and the spacious homey feel of the place. We had three generations on this trip (my husband and I, my parents, and my 2 tween nephews), and there was something for everyone to do there. The only things we didn't like were (and these are really minor): the grills outside of each building were charcoal, so bring some if you want to grill outside. Our villa was on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. I didn't mind this, but my 65 year old parents were NOT a fan. This might sound a little vain, but there was no full length mirror in the villa, so bring one with you or grab a $5 one at Target if you'll need one. And at registration they try to trick you into a "welcome breakfast," which is really a timeshare spiel. We declined the invitation, and they were nice about it & didn't ask us about it again. I've been to other timeshares that pester you the entire week, so this was a nice change.
We can't get over what a good deal this was. It was cheaper than a hotel with 5x more space & amenities. We can't say enough good things about Sun or Snow rentals for offering this service. They are very friendly, helpful & professional, and I highly recommend them. I admit to thinking it seemed a little too good to be true, but they are 100% legit and will take great care of you!
