Boardwalk Villas has an amazing location and theming, but doesn't have the best pool compared to other DVC resort and limited in-resort quick service food options.

PROS

• Walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood Studios
• Has the Standard room category, which is one of the best DVC point chart values, and beautiful Boardwalk view rooms
• DVC villas are in the main building and right next to the main pool
• Studios sleep 5
• Fun Boardwalk/Jersey shore themeing 
• Restaurants, bars, and street entertainment right on the Boardwalk (we love Jelly Rolls, Abracadabar, and Bellvue Lounge in particular!)
• Has a Community Hall with games, crafts, DVDs, and other activities
• Walking distance to additional food options at Beach Club, Yacht Club, Swan, and Dolphin
• Short gondola ride to additional food options at Riviera and Carribean Beach Resort 
• Nearby mini golf!

CONS

• The main Luna Park pool area feels a little dated, although they did recently replace the facade of the slide
• There's not a good quick service retaurant inside the building in case of inclement weather (Bellvue has limted breakfast options in the morning and there are a few quick service food options outside on the Boardwalk)
• Some balconies are covered, which can block the view and natural light
