Was it all for the same price? Could be one or two people who had a bunch of contracts trying to sell.
Also was it on a broker site or an aggregators site?
No - different use years, different sizes, different prices (relatively high IMO), some stripped/some not. It could be one or two people who had a bunch of contracts, for sure, but nothing would make you automatically assume that.
I noticed it on an aggregator's site, but when you click on the listing links, it does bring you to actual listings. I didn't click on them all, but the few I clicked on seemed legitimate.
Yeah that's interesting...haven't heard anything that would cause any sort of mass exodus. The resort really does need a refurb though...
I'm excited for it to get the refurb. The rooms could use some brightening up and the upgrading of sofa beds to murphy beds will make us want to stay there more than we already do currently.
Yikes, that sounds like a bummer... which direction was it? (NSEW)
SW, I’ve highlighted approx. where the apartments are located in red. Here’s a link to the apartments’ website https://madisonwaterstar.com/gallery/ When we were there a couple of months ago I noted the apartments from the bus on the way to Kidani & thought they need to do some serious landscaping to hide those things.
I would prepare yourself for 'bright and airy' with Hilton/Marriott vibes. It will be chock full of other tech improvements and say goodbye to a separate studio table and chairs. Say hello to some foot stools and a rising coffee table. The best part will be a comfortable mattress.
I certainly hope they do a better job than the bwv and bcv refurbs. I think those rooms are so bland, I can’t bring myself to stay at either place anymore.
I’m a bit pessimistic, they started BWV Sept. 2023, & supposedly finished the BW view villas awhile ago, yet they’ve circled back & started kicking people w/ reservations in BW views out again allegedly because they have to redo the Murphy beds, plumbing, & electricity

SSR has just soaker tubs, and I think BCV too. I think that easier/faster to clean between guests may have played a large role in the move from jetted to bubbler to soaker, not just purchase price (and cost of maintaining the jets/bubbler mechanism). I’m happy to pay less to buy and less in housekeeping costs, not to mention happy to know the tub is clean through and through when I use it.
The few times we've used the tubs we've had to pre-clean those jets with not just one run, but several in order to clear the gunk out. Not having tubs with jets is no big loss in my opinion. Probably more sanitary.
I love the spa tubs & will really miss them if/when they’re gone. Folks who don’t use them likely don’t care, but AKV has always had them, so anyone buying points there knew they were paying MFs for their upkeep/replacement just like we’re paying for the added maintenance, & replacement costs on all the extra bathrooms in the Kidani 1, 2, & 3 bedrooms and the cost of a % of club services, and extra per point for husbandry. Folks who drive still pay a % for the buses they don’t use & folks who don’t have a car pay a % for maintaining the parking lots they don’t need.
