King’s Creek Plantation

Great service on check– in. Warm and friendly. Our unit was clean and comfortable, almost seemed like it was recently renovated. Met with Gus, found him to not be too pressured, but he was effective in getting us to upgrade. We have not had buyers remorse, rather happy to be a member of the Kings Creek family. We have been to 5 or 6 different time shares, and many other destination resorts, and we are sure in our appreciation of this facility. Looking forward to bringing friends and family on our upcoming trips. Williamsburg ROCKS!

My parents happen to be owners here so it makes it a convenience when I need to book for a place to get away for the weekend or whenever I need a week of solitude to get away from work and wine down. This place is next to Water country USA and you can just walk next door if you want to. I usually stay in the cottages, but decided to see what the Estate experience would be like this past weekend and I was not dissapointed. Kings Creek always delivers in my opinion. My 1Bedroom unit was clean, nothing out of place, no insects, (experienced at other resorts) and I had everything that I needed to accomidate my stay. I have stayed at other resports within the Williamsburg Area, and this is the best place for me when it comes to locality.

Stayed here for a week while we visited Washington DC and surrounding sites. We do not own a timeshare here, and thank goodness for that! Our stay was part of a package we purchased last year at Cancun. The staff was very nice, and they were able to accommodate an early check in since we flew in at 0800 and check in wasn’t until 4pm. Knowing it was a timeshare, we knew we would have to sit through a sales pitch.
I scheduled the presentation for 1130 the day we flew in so we didn’t waste any of our vacation time there. The presentation was horribly long and annoying. And afterwards you go off with an assigned sales agent. Knowing we weren’t going to buy anything, I informed the agent in order to not waste more time. He wasn’t happy, and understandably so. When asked why, I said you can buy all inclusive packages, to include airfare, much cheaper than anything they could offer from several websites now. He sent us off to another gentleman that attempted one more time to sell us something that was «too good to pass up»… Hahaha. Afterwards we got our” gift” that we never used.
At first glance the cottages are cute. But when you take the time to really inspect the unit, you can see where they skimmped on the upkeep… which sucks for the people that were duped into buying here and pay the maintenance fees. The décor was very dated and cheap looking. Everything was dingy and worn. It was very convenient to have a kitchen and a washer and dryer. We had a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom unit. It stayed a decent temperature upstairs, but downstairs where the rooms are were very cold. A lot of the lights and outlets didn’t work. The outlets that did work, the plugs would slide out… that was wierd. The wi-​fi was constantly disconnecting. The cable is just basic channels, no premium channels. The little shop has the bare minimum. There is no linen service, you have to pay for linens if you want to replace what you used. Didn’t use the pool or gym or any of the other amenities. There were bugs inside the unit. In one room it was large stink bugs, in the other it was tiny centipede looking things. Overall gross, and never would we stay here again! I feel sorry for the people that are stuck going to this place. It is anything but luxurious or a resort!

I’ve never been to a timeshare I thought worth purchasing, but we have been to several time share presentations. They usually take longer than they say, and use high pressure sales tactics, but you generally get what they say you will get. Not with the King’s Creek Plantation folks. We attended a timeshare presentation in Woodbridge after being promised a trip to Orlando with airfare, three nights hotel, and 4 passes to Disney, as well as a $ 100 gift card.
The presentation took over three hours and they were very pushy. If I had known during the presentation that even the «gift» for attending was a scam I’d have asked the obvious question: «If this is such a great deal, why do you have to bribe people to generate any interest at all?»
We finally left with our «gift,» which has all kinds of restrictions and costs over $ 500 to use. They charge a booking fee for each person and even if we wanted to pay that it is for two adults and two kids, which we also weren’t told. Our oldest is 18, so technically she doesn’t qualify. It was a complete waste of a Saturday. Even the restaurant gift card is only good is you spend a certain amount of money to use it.
These folks also had the audacity to say that Williamsburg, VA is one of the absolute most desirable places to own a time share and thus getting a trade for other locations at peak times is not a problem. Yeah. Cuz I’d rather go there than Geneva, Paris, Capetown, Copenhagen, and a whole host of other places. And quick review of the company online will show that this, too, if complete fiction, If you are reading this after buying a time share with them, I believe you have 7 days to change your mind in the state of Virginia. Don’t wait to see if you can get the trades you want because by then it will be too late.
I am really not sure how this company can get away with this. It’s fraud. They must put a lot of money into lobbying in the state of Virginia and be careful about what they put in writing. They also take the letter they send you before they give you your gift, so make a copy of it in advance. Better yet, don’t go. I really wish I could give them less than one star.

This resort had great amenities and very nice condos in comparison to many of the others in the area. It easily accommodated my party of six for a weekend. Although we loved it, no one from our group will ever return here. We went to the timeshare meeting and told them that we weren’t interested. They very nicely said we didn’t need to stay for the presentation so we left. After we returned home, our card was charged for double the price. The company informed us that the charge was because we didn’t go to the meeting. We have tried everything to get our money back but they just kept putting us off. It seems like they will cheat you out of your money, whether you go to the meeting or not.

I have been receiving harassing calls from Kings Creek Plantation in Williamsburg, Va. I just received several calls tonight telling me if I do not attend a presentation she will call me everyday until I do. I declined the 4^th & 5^th calls so she started texting me with threats and profanity. Terrible company!

For 2 years I dealt with harassing phone calls trying to get me to attend some seminar. After countless hours of frustration, telling them to stop calling me, calling management, blocking numbers, and even reporting them to the BBB, and all getting nowhere, the phone calls finally stopped. I have since moved to Florida, and started getting the calls again. There is literally nothing I can do about it without changing my phone number. I lived right down the street from this place, and I can tell you that it is a whole in the wall. There is a reason that they have to scam people into coming here. Don’t waste your time or money!

BEWARE! If you received an amazing incentive for a timeshare presentation with King’s Creek Plantation, DON’T GO! I went thinking that I probably wouldn’t buy a timeshare, but would just pick up the «gifts» they promised. However, things did not go as planned. These are professional salespeople who know how to sell expensive timeshares. They spent about two hours telling me what I would get, but the sell was really for Interval International, a company that does timeshare trades. Because of the flexibility to use points towards different hotels and cruises, I was open to the possibility. After about 2 ½ hours, they finally told me the prices for different memberships, annual maintenance fees, and finance interest (which is super high– almost 18%!!). To me, the costs were somewhat confusing because you get all these perks your first year, but then membership fees would have to be paid afterward in order to keep the same benefits, particular for the timeshare trade. The maintenance fees would be for as long as you hold the deed, potentially a lifetime if you can’t sell it or give it away! After 3 hours, they slashed the prices to what I thought was rock bottom, giving me an offer I thought was a great deal. I was so tired and hungry from not having lunch, I finally agreed, signed the papers, and left.
That evening, I researched Interval International. It had horrible reviews! Not even 3 stars, but mostly 1’s out of 5! Many people complained about how they couldn’t get accommodations for places they wanted to stay at, and membership and maintenance fees had increased. I also later researched the trips and airfare incentives; the companies weren’t even BBB accredited! Many people complained that they were NOT free. They had to pay $ 50 to $ 100 as a deposit, and they never received their gifts! What a SCAM!
Fortunately, I researched if I could cancel the contract. Based on my state laws, I had seven days to cancel in writing, so I ended up going back immediately the next day and hand-​delivering a letter. I also mailed a letter certified with a return receipt to the developers in Williamsburg, which is what was actually required. While back on Day 2, the boss tried to sell the package to me again for $ 4000 less! I was really annoyed and realized how inflated the prices were to begin with. They hadn’t given me rock bottom price on Day 1, even though it was about half of the original price. So be warned! The timeshare for King’s Creek Plantation will try to sell you Interval International’s services, which is no guarantee but a lifetime of fees!

This may be lengthy, but will have a lot of detail. We were suckered into purchasing a time share through King’s Creek Plantation July of 2015. This was through a completely separate seller and one of the «inclusions» of the purchase was a free 4-​day, 3-​night stay at the resort. We were advised that with KCP we could call them when we were on the way instead of calling several weeks/​months in advance. When we proposed the idea of going on Thanksgiving weekend, we were advised KCP would be completely empty.
After we called a week in advance, we were surprised to find out KCP was completely booked, as Thanksgiving weekend was one of their busiest times. We re-​planned our mini-​vacation for the last weekend of March in 2016, a.k.a. Easter Weekend. Planning far enough in advance gave us a secured room/​unit. Original plan was for a Thursday-​Sunday trip.
Somehow the person we had spoken to had planned us for a Friday-​Monday trip instead, which we didn’t find out until we were at the check-​in building. Luckily for us, they were able to check us into the actual room they had reserved for us as the previous resident had left a day early. We were then advised of a 12:00 meeting with the Sales Office, to «Update us» on our purchase. When I asked if this was a sales meeting, was advised that it was not, just something to clear up the paperwork.
Went in next morning for our meeting and talked to Gus, who was friendly enough and kept going well off-​topic (ADHD) for our meeting, which was originally supposed to be 30 minutes (spent over 2 hours in office). Blame for 2 hour meeting did not fall entirely on Gus. Anyway, the «non sales-​pitch» meeting wound up being an attempt to get us to purchase a much bigger unit that was supposedly in «foreclosure» to have the ability at more locations for a vacation through 3 different brochures.
Had to say No more than once, as it was not in our budget. Not too overly pressured, we were told point blank that the company we purchased from in Woodbridge flat out lied to us when they said we could rent out our unit week for $ 3,000. When all was said and done, Gus handed us a business card, asking us to let him know if and when we were going to be able to get into a bigger unit any time in the future. So after having to stay firm on the upgrade pitch, we were handed an envelope that contained two $ 50 gift certificates to local restaurants in the area.
The unit itself was a one-​bed, one bath portion of a house on the second floor. It had a magnetic key that had no problem working. The unit was all electric, including an electric fireplace. The bedroom had a single person jet tub which we never used. It also had a King-​sized bed and a 32″ digital TV. The TV in the living room was at least 42″. Basic cable service, no premium TV channels. The internet Wifi service was spotty at best, randomly dropping the Wifi whenever anyone else picked up the signal. We had two smart phones and one tablet, all experienced the same issues.
Both the heat and A/​C worked without a problem, but the walls were paper thin. Could hear both outside and inside conversations as if they were in the same room. There were also times where, while we were on the top floor, it sounded like people were walking on our roof, very weird echo location. Furniture was dated and abused with scratch marks on the bottom 2−3″ of all the wooden dining room chairs as well as the table. Minor stains on the carpet.
On the positive side, KCP is very close to Busch Gardens as well as Water World, neither of which we visited. Also relatively close to Colonial Williamsburg. The staff at KCP is courteous, the people we interacted with were nice, a lot of unsupervised kids screaming their heads off, though. The hot tub had very few strong jets, though it was certainly hot enough. Overall, we would go back but we wouldn’t expect a five-​star resort treatment. If we want a five-​star resort, we’ll stick with the one we have in Florida.

Don’t get sucked in to attending a sales session for any gift. Our «90 minute session» lasted 4 hours total. Resort is nice, but not worth the hassle of the sales pitch.

My boyfriend stayed here over spring break weekend! It’s a very cute «gated community» feel type of neighborhood. We checked in at 4PM in their aquatic center right next to the club house. Staff was friendly, and after getting our room keys & parking pass, they offered us some «gifts». there was a whole spread sheet of «gifts» $ 75-​$ 100+ for sitting through some presentations. I know the whole deal with these kinds of things, but we couldn’t go anyways because you have to be at least 25! They also gave us a bag full of things to do with them, and around the area. Half of the coupons were already expired, though haha.
They offered us a map to our cottage, near the front. To our surprise, there was barely anyone near us! It was nice to be spaced out and not feel over-​cramped with neighbors.
Our cottage was a one bedroom, one bath (maximum capacity 4 people). It was super cute! We had the whole house to ourselves (no neighbors next door) and though it was a little dated (red, textures carpet, patterned couches, generic hotel paintings), it was clean and didn’t feel worn out or anything. Our cottage included:
— a couch with a pull out bed in the front room
— a table with THREE chairs
— a small kitchen equip with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, plus some dish soap and a small scrubby sponge (which was nice because we definitely didn’t remember to bring these!)
— an in-​suit washer & dryer with a small box of detergent
— a jacuzzi bathtub. a bunch towels included as well!
— flat screen tv in the front room, and another in the bedroom
— iron and ironing board
Our only complaints were that we didn’t have pillows on our bed nor did we have running hot water! We had to call house keeping/​maintenance, and they sounded more annoyed than apologetic about these things. We also didn’t have a hair dryer but that’s not too big of a deal to me!
The location is pretty convenient though. It’s super close to History Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water Country. There is also a Target less than three minutes away for any of any last minute forgotten items, or some grocery shopping!
Overall, it was a nice place to lay our heads after a weekend of hiking in the mountains! It’s definitely a place you’ll want to stay at if you’re taking advantage of the things they offer, like the pool or activities. but if you’re only staying a few days and won’t be there much, stay in a hotel or something!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage. Upon first sight, it was very nice… beautiful granite counter tops, fire place, deck… then we started noticing things, walls marked up, front door had kick marks on it, the curtain hooks in the shower were the cheap plastic dollar store type. Tried to make breakfast in the «full» kitchen. …one frying pan. We ended up making scrambled eggs in a sauce pan (not easy lol)
If your just looking for a place to crash, it’s not bad. But if your looking for a nice place for family and friends I wouldn’t recommend this at all.

My girlfriend and I stayed here with friends who suffered through the timeshare sales pitch. My review is based on if I had to pay for this.
My friends told me that the resort considers this a 5 star property. My thoughts are yes, it is a 5 star property if it’s based on a 1 – 10 star rating.
Let’s start with the unit. For a two bedroom and two bath unit it wasn’t bad. However there was just enough dishes for 1 setting of 4 people. So we had to wash dishes after every meal. The AC was broken and despite multiple calls it was never fixed. There were cobwebs on some corners, the carpet should have probably been shampooed at some point, better maintenance on the window screens especially if the windows are going to be open.
The grounds are in decent shape and looks to be landscaped regularly. There are multiple pools and play areas for kids. The indoor pool was fairly big but the indoor hot tub wasn’t working. The water was hot but no jets.
About half of the staff was friendly. The staff that wasn’t were not rude, just kind of blah and disinterested.
For what I was told the price was to buy into this timeshare property, I probably wouldn’t buy into it based on my experience here.

We stayed here 10 years ago and were impressed. We stayed here this week and our impression has changed. Maintenance appears to be the issue. The walls in our cottage were dirty and just dingy Hot water was an issue for our stay-​too many cold showers.
The sales side of the operation was not much better. Seems as though they have many issues with the way the sales side has been operated and I really should have not known that…
The front desk was less than helpful most of the time and the staff really does not seem to know much about the area and could not answer us when we asked where the nearest post office was…
Not at all a good experience staying at King’s Creek.

I attended a very persuasive time share presentation. On the phone prior to attending I was promised a $ 100 target gift card and a prize (which I assumed would most likely be free cruise and airfare) I left with s $ 5 target gift card (it was up to $ 100) and paperwork for the cruise and airfare but the fine print on the back makes it clear you need to send in money orders or cashier checks for $ 175 with the papers. If you continue to read you realize you will never be able to jump through all the hoops. As for the timeshare do your homework there is plenty of information on the Internet.

It’s a very nice gated community with amenities that I took full advantage of, such as the gym, aquatic center and outdoor swimming pools. It was very nice and clean, close to the outlet center. We had a great stay, the only thing I would change would be the time the pool opens. I’m a morning person and love to read, and the great outdoors. I wanted to sit poolside and read but couldn’t because the pool doesn’t open until 10 a.m. which is too late for a morning person. Ugh! Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will return soon.

We stayed in The Cottages through Interval Exchange. It’s just husband, wife and toddler, but the space felt pretty small. We were offered a «gift» if we sat through an interval update. We chose two adult tickets to Busch Gardens for $ 25 total. Of course the 60min presentation (in which they didn’t have any updates but still wanted to sell us a unit) turned out to be closer to two hours but I’ve never been taking out to lunch before. They have a good relationship with a Diner nearby where we ate for free from a limited menu.
The kitchen in our one bedroom unit was «full» but very tiny. The unit is supposed to sleep up to four but there was only three of most everything even dining chairs. I didn’t have dish soap or even one free coffee set. The sink is small and there’s no dish drying rack. I’m big on cooking on vacation and it’s a tough situation. But doable. Also, there’s no tops for the pot or pan. One pot, one pan.
The pull out bed, where our toddler slept, was never used (still sealed) so that was kind of comforting.
The bedroom was a good size. However, it’s a very loud bed. And lopsided. It leans toward the headboard and to one side. It’s very noisy when moving around. Not really too pleasant of an experience.
We were told they renovate every three years. You can tell. It’s very clean. The grounds are kept up nicely.
The whole resort is very cozy. Has a gated community feel. I couldn’t really hear my neighbors at all so I hope they couldn’t hear my kid running a marathon every time his feet hit the ground. (We were on the bottom level).
We checked in really late — almost midnight, the security guy was great at getting us straight to our place and we secured check in the next morning at our convenience. I do find it odd that check in is at 4pm and check out at 10am.
They seem to have a good amount of activities, if you’re into that thing. This place is practically a two minute drive to Water Country (closed during our stay) and about 10 min from Busch Gardens.
*Don’t call for maintenance, our smoke alarm battery was low and was beeping. We called and there was no info regarding when they would come change it. Took 2 hours. Which is okay, if they let you know. But it was nearing my son’s bedtime.
All-​in-​all I would stay here again with my exchange program and just opt out of any «gifts.»

Just a heads up for anyone thinking about this. Pardon all the quote marks, but I really am quoting a letter I received from these folks.
Two days ago I received a letter from «Toyota» containing «winning» 6-​digit «VIN» number that «matched» and to call a toll-​free number to see «which of the following gifts you have won» (not MIGHT have won, WON): a Toyota Prius or $ 25,000 cash, a Samsung 51″ 3D Plasma TV, an Apple iPad Air or a 7-​night Royal Caribbean cruise with airfare for 2. The fine print on the back spells out the ridiculous odds of winning. Wait. I thought I already won?
The letter is signed (illegible scribble) General Manager, Toyota. No printed manager name, dealership name, address or phone. This is clearly a fraud, but they are stupid enough to say that «this promotion giveaway is sponsored by and given away by King’s Creek Plantation, L. L. C.» on the back of the letter. It’s just me, but I wouldn’t touch these people with a 50-​foot pole. Good on ya for all the people who are satisfied; this is a «do your due diligence» heads up for everyone else.

I really enjoyed staying here during our visit to Williamsburg. The location is perfect because it’s about 10 – 15 minutes away from anything in Williamsburg, and even closer to Water Country USA and Busch Gardens.
Check-​In was okay. I felt like the front desk could have been a little more pleasant, but I had just spent six hours driving so I just wanted to get to my room. We were given a map with directions on how to get to our place, she wrote on a map where our room was, but she directed us to the wrong place. After 15 minutes we figured everything out and found the place we were supposed to be. It didn’t help they had parts of the pavement closed off because of paving.
We were in the «Townes». We had a beautiful place. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen (with all the cooking supplies you need), a dining room/​living room and a sunroom. It was also equipped with four flatscreen TVs, an electric fireplace, air conditioner, ceiling fans, washer/​dryer and a jacuzzi tub. It was very clean and we had no problems with things working.
We didn’t have any problems with hearing the neighbors. You could hear them a little at some points, but that was expected and didn’t bother me. During the day you could hear people in the pool (it was right outside of our window), but we were never really home during the day so it also wasn’t a problem. My boyfriend opened up one of their soaps in the bathroom and found it to be moldy. That was kind of gross. But other than that, everything was great.
Our only issue was when they were paving. We got a notice on the door one night that said we would have to move our cars «across the street» for the next morning because they were going to be paving our side. We did just that and still got a phone call at 8am the next morning about moving our car. I found this to be irritating, and so did everyone else in our area.
Overall the place was very nice. Great location and it had everything we needed for our «home away from home». I would recommend this to anyone visiting Williamsburg and I would come back.

One of my friends has a timeshare and one of the locations that were available was at the King’s Creek Plantation in Williamsburg. This resort offers cottages, townhouses, and homes in a village setting. It’s a ‘gated community’ and they have on-​site amenities such as indoor aquatic center, jetted pools, saunas, workout rooms, tennis courts, playgrounds, jogging trails, and even on-​site crafts. We stayed in one of the cottages where it had a 3-​bedroom accommodation. It has an in-​suite washer/​dryer, gas log fireplace, a picnic area, and jetted tubs. It was literally a small little house with a fully-​furnished kitchen! Very comfortable with the sofas and chairs. One of the days, we had a little ‘glass-​painting’ session — the man who was hosting it wasn’t all that friendly and was slightly condescending; however, there were stem-​ware and glass bowls with paint provided to paint to your heart’s content in the recreation area. There’s a little lot for your car, and the community seemed very secure and safe. It’s next to the Waterpark if interested! Definitely an alternative to staying at a hotel if you’re here for about a week as you can cook your own food and stay comfortably with a whole family.
