renting points advice please

[limabeanmom2003]

Hello! Not sure if this goes here, but mods, I am sure you will move it if necessary. We are going to WDW in April, and I would like to rent two studios at Wilderness Lodge Villas. I know that I can rent points directly from a DVC owner, put does anyone know if there is a reputable timeshare rental company that I can rent through? If not, any suggestions on making a good transaction directly with a DVC owner? Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Edited to ask: If I pay for a rental with PAYPAL, does that protect me?

You can either rent through an owner or pay Disney directly through CRO (and pay a higher price). Someone posted a thread on the Mousecellaneous Board about how to get a good rental. You might look for that thread.

By the way, you do know that studios do not connect. So if you have a larger family, the parents will have to split up. But if you have several adults or two families, you should be fine. They might not be close to each other, though.

VWL is the smallest DVC and members who don't own at VWL are already within the 7 month period where they can make reservations there. With it being so small and the holiday in there, you might be out of luck already.

Thanks, Deb! I appreciate the advice!
