VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.5) updated 2 February 2025

Good morning Groupies! So, I think I am going to Rent 162 points that expire next February (Covid point glut, and I don’t think we would go again until next March. I’m assuming the consensus is to just use David’s ? I’ve never rented before, so I figure someone here has and could confirm the best option….
 
So I gotta share this. So I do not collect popcorn buckets but I love Figment and wanted one but they ran out of them long before we left for our trip. When we went I kept hoping that by some miracle they would release some more while we were there but no luck. Of course just 4 days after we got home they release more. I was so disappointed. :( So yesterday I get home from work and there is a box sitting there. I open it up and it's Figment!!!!!!!:figment::figment::figment: My husband knew how bummed I was about not getting one and was able to find someone selling one that wasn't charging an arm and a leg. I'm so happy lol

I don’t think David’s is as popular here as you imply. Something about the way the contract is now written seems to be “against” owners. You may want to start a thread to see what owners who rent are saying.

Best wishes!

My #1 go to: https://dvcreservations.com/
My #2 got to: https://rentals.*******.com/
I've rented from them all (I think) & they are all safe - I have never had any problems! I use whomever gives me the best deal :earsboy:

He’s a ‘keeper’ for sure!

I advise against these rental companies. Just do it yourself over on the rental boards here. Save the money and the frustration.

Not necessarily advocating David's Rentals, but I've used them three times, and the process has been easy. I don't know their rate compared to others, and certainly you can rent points on your own which will get you the most dollars. The only issue with renting yourself is that you assume all the responsibility. If you have the time and inclination, go for it. I do not, and David's has provided me a way to get some money back on unused points with very little hassle. Just my perspective.

I've always rented points out myself. Very easy to do either here or there are facebook groups.

Was way too disappointed in David's initial response to the issues that came with the pandemic to ever provide them income.
 
OK, Groupies, I have seriously dropped the ball on our HHI plans, and I essentially know NOTHING!

HELP! I realize there are numerous threads, but I was hoping for the condensed version. :rolleyes1 aka I’m being super lazy and honestly starting to wig out a bit.

A few questions….
Is it too late to request an ocean view room….ARE THERE ocean view rooms? What are the must do’s? We are only there for a long weekend 4/1-4/4, and no, we still have not booked airfare. We have a 2 BR villa booked. Appreciate any and all comments TIA!:flower3:

No ocean view room in HHI. The resort is on Broad Creek, not the ocean. Many villas do have a view of some of that water. You do have views of nature, live oaks and Spanish Moss. Can you see a tiny bit of water between the trees?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. My favorite things to do are bike riding, and enjoying wonderful food!

We have done a dolphin viewing excursion, and a longer excursion to Daufuskie Island to learn about Low Country and Gullah history.

Our first trip to the resort was a cash trip over Halloween. We liked it so much, we have bought points there, and in January we added on!

Best wishes,
Bobbi
 
Thank you Bobbi, I would love a water view, are they hard to get?
Sleepy would have a better idea of what buildings you should request. I need a HA Villa, so I am always by the elevator. The dedicated two bedrooms are not there. Our best water views would be from the side of this area that’s very tidal.

As you can see, the buildings on the left would have a frontal view of the creek.
 
Typically, we either are driving from NJ, or driving from WDW. This March however, I am meeting friends and flying into HH. . Three friends will be driving from NJ, and the other two are also flying into HH. One is coming from OK, the other from Ohio. We 6 don’t get to see each other very often!
