With help from our friends at DVC Rental Store, we were recently able to stay in a 3-bedroom Grand Villa at Disney’s Old Key West Resort. One of these villas sleeps up to 12 guests, so the entire family can go on your Walt Disney World trip.

Disney’s Old Key West Grand Villa Exterior
Old Key West is a charming resort with pastel-colored buildings and white picket fences.
A 3-bedroom villa takes up the second and third floors of the building, on top of smaller villas.
We were in the pink grand villa.
Entryway
These villas have been updated, but thankfully weren’t just made plain. There is a lovely tile in the entryway, followed by a checkered wood floor.
There is a mirror in a white frame with a seashell on top. A shelf below the mirror is perfect for keys or purses. There’s also a set of outlets.
A short hallway branches off from the entryway, leading to the primary bedroom and a bathroom, which we’ll circle back to. This is also where the thermostat is.
The stairs are in the entryway and next to them is a closet holding vacuums. As this is a DVC room, you don’t get daily housekeeping, so you may need to clean up a bit yourself.
Living Room
Onto the living room, which has a tall ceiling, a ceiling fan, and high windows.
These villas are well-lit without being overly lit.
There is a table with chairs in here, as well as sofas and an armchair. They all fit comfortably in the space.
Our one gripe about the remodel of Old Key West is the area rug, which looks like a garish colorful camouflage. The colors themselves fit, but the pattern doesn’t, despite its hidden Mickeys.
There are quite a few standard outlets, although we were surprised that USB outlets have not yet been installed.
The second floor looks down on the first.
There’s a loveseat and a full-size couch, both in a light brown color. The armchair and ottoman are light blue.
We love the lifeguard chair lamp on the table in the corner. It has a hidden Mickey on the back and the switch is on the base.
The room phone is also on this table.
There is framed artwork of coral hanging on the living room wall.
There are curtains and blinds to close over all the windows and glass doors. We love how many windows are in these villas, with a view in almost every direction.
There’s a mounted TV above a wood cabinet. Since the living room can be a sleeping space, there are drawers for storage.
The armchair and the full-size couch are both hiding beds.
After removing the cushion from the armchair, you’ll see directions for unfolding the bed.
Here is what both look like unfolded.
Patio
There’s a large patio/balcony, with doors leading from the living room and the main bedroom.
It has a table with four chairs. There’s enough room to bring a couple more chairs out if you want.
There’s a beautiful view of the grounds from here.
There’s also a ceiling fan on the patio.
Dining & Kitchen
There are eight chairs at the main dining table, and four at the table in the living room, so 12 in total.
These chairs have white frames, orange seat cushions, and striped back cushions.
A metal light fixture hangs over the dining table.
While most of the artwork is paintings, this one is a large photograph from Key West.
There are open doorways between the dining area and the living room and entryway.
The kitchen space is pretty big, with light gray marble countertops and an island with storage space.
If you prefer to cook rather than dine exclusively at restaurants, these kinds of accommodations may be ideal.
The island has a slightly shorter section of counter space. There are large shelves inside the cabinet doors here.
The kitchen is stocked with every appliance you need to cook your own meals. In the cabinets are cooking supplies, glasses, plates, utensils, etc.
A Sunbeam double toaster is ready and waiting on the counter.
We appreciate the windows in the kitchen, letting you look out the front and appreciate the Old Key West architecture.
The coffee machine is Stay by Cuisinart. Bags of the Joffrey’s resort blend, creamer, and sugar packets are in a caddy to the right.
The refrigerator is a good size with lots of space.
Here’s a look at the interior of the fridge and freezer.
Laundry
Off the kitchen is a small room holding the washer and dryer. There’s also an iron, ironing board, and laundry basket.
With the option of having a washer and dryer in your room, you can do your laundry on your schedule and pack less — meaning you have more room to bring home souvenirs.
Behind the door to the laundry room are more cleaning supplies, this time being various brooms and mops.
First Bathroom
This small bathroom is just off the main hallway, and is meant for anyone sleeping or hanging out in the living room. There’s a toilet, sink, and walk-in shower all in one room.
Many of the walls in this villa are this soft green color. The shower doorway is lined with beautiful marble.
We love toilet art! This piece showcases a boat on a beach, with a hidden Mickey on the bow.
The shower is gray with a stripe of wavy tile down the far wall. The center of the showerhead can pop out if you’d like to use it handheld.
Primary Bedroom
Across from that bathroom is the primary bedroom, which has its own bathroom, too.
Here, there’s a king bed with a dark wood headboard resembling shutters. At the foot of the bed is a bench with a green cushion.
The linens are a boring striped white that we see everywhere now, but that’s at least balanced by an interesting carpet pattern.
Across the bed is a three-drawer dress, a longer bench, a large mirror, and a TV.
There’s a door in the corner leading out to the patio. It has a shade to lower that matches the window curtains.
The dresser has a marble top and built-in outlets.
Here, there are standard outlets and USB ports.
There’s more storage with two large drawers in this bench.
Plus two drawers on each end table. The tables have large lamps on top of them, but there’s still plenty of space to set other things on top.
This artwork features the Old Key West fence featuring Mickey cutouts.
There’s a seating area with two armchairs and a matching ottoman/table, as well as a standing lamp.
Main Bathroom
A window in the room peeks into the jacuzzi tub.
There are folding shutters to close for more privacy.
That said, there is no door at the entrance to the bathroom area.
There’s a step up to the tub and a seat built into it.
Here’s a view from the tub looking out through the privacy window into the bedroom.
Across from the tub is a spacious closet, with extra pillows and blankets.
The safe is built into the right wall of the closet. It has an actual key, not a keypad.
The walls here are yellow and blue. There’s a long mirror above the double vanity, with lighting behind it.
There are two sinks and two sets of deep cabinets, plus the not-so-deep cubbies in the center.
There’s a thin shelf below the mirror.
A full-length mirror is on the door that leads to the toilet.
There is also a step-in shower, with the same marble frame and wavy tiles as the other shower. A switch by the double vanity controls the lighting in the shower.
This shower is much bigger than the other one.
This doorway leads to the toilet.
There’s a nearly opaque window that lets in some extra light.
The art is behind the toilet, rather than in front of it, but is a schematic of a boat called the Pyewacket. This is a real boat owned by competitive sailor and grandson of Roy O. Disney, Roy P. Disney.
Stairs
The carpet on the stairs has the same labyrinthine pattern as the bedroom carpet.
There’s sailboat artwork and windows overlooking the staircase.
Here’s a closer look.
Going up the stairs are levels that look to be ripe for some kind of décor or other visual additions.
There’s more art on the wall to the right from coming upstairs, next to a closet.
A closet at the top of the stairs has more vacuums, cleaning supplies, extra towels, and extra bedding.
This open hallway upstairs offers views of the living room below.
Here’s a look at that view.
There are two bedrooms upstairs.
Second Bedroom
There are also two beds in this bedroom. These bed frames are not lifted up off of the floor enough to allow for storage underneath.
This art print shows the various distances from Key West to places like Tortuga (referencing Pirates of the Caribbean), Honolulu (in the “Lilo & Stitch” font), and Magic Kingdom. If you know your Magic Kingdom attractions, you’ll know this sign is the same shape as those on top of the Jungle Cruise boats. The nail holding up this sign is also a hidden Mickey.
A closet is to the right of the bathroom.
This closet connects to the closet door in the bathroom.
No need to leave one room to get to the closet in the other! We’re not sure if we’ve ever seen this in any other Disney resort.
First Upstairs Bathroom
Despite the large countertop, this bathroom just has a single-sink setup.
The bathroom counter includes four shelves and one cabinet door to store your toiletries, towels, and other items.
The mirror behind the sink is large but doesn’t take up the entire wall space.
This bathroom has a standard tub and shower.
You get plenty of natural light from this round window.
The art above the toilet is of sand dollars painted in different colors.
A full-length mirror is on the door leading to the toilet and shower.
Third Bedroom
The walls behind the beds in these rooms are light blue. This is the bigger of the two upstairs bedrooms, but they both have two beds.
These beds are bigger than the beds in the other upstairs bedroom.
This is not our favorite of the rooms, we don’t enjoy the large room with an overabundance of white walls.
Next to the bed on the left of the room is our favorite of the newer art at Disney’s Old Key West Resort, with Minnie at the beach.
The side table in the center of the two beds offers large drawers for storage.
We love this themed Conch Flats bench. It doesn’t open for storage, but it’s a good place to sit or lay out your luggage.
This chair doesn’t unfold into a sleeper.
There’s also a TV and a dresser in this room.
Second Upstairs Bathroom
This bathroom is the same as the bathroom on the other side.
The sink is a single vanity, with a toilet and shower in the adjoining room.
This room has a different showerhead and a square window rather than a circular one.
The art above the toilet here is of tops of umbrellas on the beach — at least, that’s our interpretation.
Overall Thoughts
We love Disney’s Old Key West Resort. It feels so homey. Sure, not everyone needs a 3-bedroom Grand Villa, but the other rooms are very reasonably sized and they’re fun.
When staying here, you’ve also got substantial offerings outside of the rooms; Olivia’s is a great restaurant, and the Gurgling Suitcase is a really fun pool bar. The pools themselves are also nice. It’s a pretty area and a very cozy place to stay. There’s something about Disney’s Old Key West Resort that feels like old Disney and we love it.
