I posted this on the Resorts board, but since I stayed at the BCV I thought you guys might be interested as well. Enjoy!
This trip was planned about two months in advance, so I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to rent points for a studio at the Beach Club Villas. This is my second time renting points through the Disboards and both times it has been a smooth transaction.
I checked in at about 4 PM and was asked if I had a preferrence of floors. I replied that I would like the room with the most plesant view, and I was assigned room 244. It had a nice view to the woods. The room was very clean and attractivly furnished. I was very happy with my accomedations.
I had never stayed at BCV before so I was anxoius to see how it compared to the Yacht Club. My first impression of the resort was that it was a good distance away from the rest of the hotel, but this feeling lessened as I became more familiar with the layout of the Villas. I also think I was a bit spoiled by my water view room right on the boardwalk at the YC last year. I really enjoyed all of the public spaces that the villas had to offer, the Solarium in particular was very inviting. I also loved having the Marketplace. I had a refillable mug and it was incredibly convenient to fill up my mug going to and from my room.
I didn't end up using either of the pools, although it was warm enough. But I can tell you from my YC stay that Storm Along Bay is fantastic! The quiet pool at the villas looked very nice too especially the jacuzzi.
Overall I was very pleased with the Beach Club Villas and I would gladly stay there again. I loved that it was close to Epcot and taking the boat to MGM, overall though I liked the Boardwalk Villas slightly better. I just liked that feeling of being in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Boardwalk. Let me know if I can answer any questions!
edited to add: There vere some minor issues with my room. The sliding door would not open and one of the lightbulbs was burnt out. Neither item bothered me at all, but I did make sure to let the front desk know about them when I checked out.
