Renting points to stay at Poly

[lizerbug]

I was wondering if anyone has experience renting points to stay at Poly and if so how hard is it to get a standard villa. It looks like there are only about 18? Seems like it would be hard to get.

At PVB, there are the following number of DVC Villas available:
288 Standard View Studios
72 Lake View Studios
12 Bungalows (basically a 2-bedroom villa)

Depends very heavily on time of year. We have rented points at PVB twice. I booked a Standard view studio for the week AFTER presidents day week in the 5 month window.

Aren't only a few of them DVC and the other are resort rooms? Sorry I have never stayed there and just don't know.

No those are all Villas. Poly DVC is pretty much 95% studios. No one or two bedrooms.

@erinsmom listed just the DVC rooms/villas. Disney's Polynesian Village Resort has 478 traditional hotel rooms, 6 suites in addition to the over-the-water bungalows and studio villas.

Thank you for the information. I'm thinking about renting points for our trip next year.

Its the only way to go in my book.

It depends on the time frame, but I would definitely try and do it before the 7 month window opens up.
We looked at renting POLY for March but bulked because it was still $400 a night and neither of our DDs wants to sleep on the pullout. LOL

That's a huge drawback of DVC rooms (except for OKW). Our DS was sooooo happy when we moved from AKV to POR during a split stay, because his bed was much more comfortable.
