Information on private DVC rentals

Hello. I am looking for a mod or anyone to refer info threads of information to me regarding private rental. I was offered an opportunity for a prebooked reservation by a neighbour & I just want to do my homework, having never rented before. Thank you.

Have rented 2x's from same renter and great experience both times. The fact you actually know your renter makes this as close to a no brainer as you can get imo. We didn't know the great lady that we rented from but did our homework to find as much out about her as we could to verify her veracity. She was awesome ever step of the way, and after renting we recently became owners ourselves. Good luck!

If anything bad happens you know where your neighbor lives lol. Enjoy try not to worry so much.

Your neighbor will need to change the lead guest on the reservation by calling MS. They cannot do that online. Other names on the reservation can be changed online. They would need to give you the reservation number and you link it to your MDE account. If you have any problems, you contact your neighbor, not DVC. They won't talk to you.

Just be sure you and your neighbor agree to the terms, in writing..I use email..so there is no confusion later, especially what happens if you can’t go, or worst case, something out of your control prevents you from going.

Also, be sure you are aware of the difference between a DVC rental and a Disney cash reservation. For stays 7 days or less, you only get a trash and towel service on day 4. To get more towels other times, you must call.

You will get a full cleaning only day 4 if the trip is at least 8 nights…otherwise, they will not be there except to do the safety check and empty the trash.

Thank you both for your replies. I appreciate it

Also not sure if your neighbor is charging you but the going rate is going to be around $17/$18 per point.

You can easily see how many total points your stay would be here:

When we had excess points (due to Co-Vid), we rented them out through one of the online brokers so we didn't have to worry about all the legal issues, administrative issues. If you and your neighbor agree, it could work out, but be sure to cover yourself legally as noted earlier.
