Condo resort recommendations

Which condo resorts would you recommend for two adults and an eight year old in August 2020? We’d want two bedrooms and a great pool where our son could play with other kids. Beautiful landscaping and a nature trail, free parking, a slide and a lazy river would be a plus but our budget is £90 a night (including resort fee). We’d also like a drive of 25 minutes or less to WDW.

We've stayed at Vista cay, Floridays, fountains and Bahama Bay. Would happily stay at all of them again.
Not sure if they all meet your requirements so you would have to research them

Bahama Bay. We stayed there in 2016 and would happily stay again, only now the kids like a villa for their own pool (they have each other for company though) But the pools are lovely, fab pool bar, nature train, splash pad area, free parking, gated with a security guard, and lovely huge condos! We had a 3 bed, but they have 2 beds too. There's a short cut up the road which can get you to Animal Kingdom in about 15 mins.

Vista cay is great but probably not quite right if you want busy pool & slide

We've been to Grande Villas, Cypress Pointe (both across the road from each other in LBV and last year we went to Grand Beach also in LBV.

Nice and relaxing at Grand Beach.

Grande Villas and Cypress Pointe were busier and had two decent sized pools. Cypress Pointe has the Volcano pool which has a slide in it. The main downside to Cypress Pointe was the absence of lifts in the units. Not ideal when you're lugging a big shop!

Highly recommend Wyndham Bonnet Creek. Practically next door to Disney's Caribbean Beach, five pools, two lazy rivers, several slides, beautiful landscaping and great restaurants and bars (condos don't pay the resort or parking fee either).

We just stayed there at Easter for around £90 a night (booked through Homeaway) and it was great. Be hard to get any condo to beat there if only for the location.

We have stayed at the marriott grande vista, marriott Harbour lake abs marriott cypress Harbour. All a really nice but by far our favorite is the harbour lake. Staying in August and also next Feb. Really good for kids. Great pools with slide and good splash zone.

Vista Cay was brilliant location, close to Disney and Universal. Next door is a Publix and a few takeaways/restaurants (Beth’s Burger Bar is a must). The pool doesn’t have a slide and isn’t mega busy... but this was fine for us as the kids enjoyed the chill and had the slides etc on water park days.
The condos are huge, we stayed in a 3 bed premium and it would prob be too big for 2a 1c; but there are many options!
