Definitely misinformed. I believe the only room, that I saw, that did not have one was the model room on the 1st floor. We are big YouTube Disney video watchers, so I highly recommend looking up 1 bedroom villas at Boardwalk and you’ll see they have Murphy beds. Enjoy!
Maybe, but I have never seen even one and we have ben visiting 1- 2 times per year at various times for more than 20 years. Almost all of those visits have been at BWV and we usually walk to and from DHS. Haven't seen any alligators, either, even though signs say they may be around. Someone else could have encountered one of them, though. I just don't think it's "common".
Like CarolMN, I have also walked that path for many years and never seen a snake.
I've only walked it a few times, but I've never seen a snake.
I've made that walk 1,000 times and never saw any but i did encounter a large (3, 3 &1/2 footer) black snake at the small BClub villa exit gate heading towards the IGateway....Glad i saw him 1st....
Thanks for the update. I am anxious to see the first photos of the x123 room renovations when this wing is finally done. I'm not sure where the Murphy bed could fit.BoardWalk Villas Refurbishment Update - June 2024
Finishing touches are still being completed on the wholesale interior and exterior refurbishment which began in 2023 at Disney's BoardWalk Villas.
Work was limited to daytime hours and the overall disruption was minimal. However, it was difficult to enjoy coffee on the balcony one morning. Even the room we occupied was still in need of some coats of exterior paint around the balcony door frame before the project could be considered complete.
Work in this area prompted a closure to the Disney Vacation Club preview room. Nearby the former home to Big River Grille sits empty with no signs of a new tenant forthcoming.
The last series of room interiors are being renovated, about a dozen villas on floors 1-4 in the wing closest to Disney's Hollywood Studios. On each floor, a door with signage similar to the above blocks guests from accessing the active construction area.

I have seen one - fairly small - was at the start of the path walking towards HS near the BW pool.
Any movement on Cake Bake?BoardWalk Villas Refurbishment Update - June 2024

I was there last week and most days (including Sat) there were are few people working on it at least some of the day. Still exterior from what I could tell.
To ask this question, as BWV was our first purchase a long time ago. It’s admittedly, subjective; as to which studio to book, between G/P or BW view.
I try to save points with a standard view if I can get it. If I have to settle for a P/G view I sorta feel cheated spending the same points as a BW view. I wouldn’t like having a first floor room for privacy reasons, but the odds are so against it that I’m willing to gamble and book a BW view. Your odds are much higher getting a first floor room with standard and P/G.
Recently, due to being shut out one too many times on the standard studios there, we recently added on and I’m now rather perplexed as to deciding which category.
I’m sitting on the boardwalk view but, when looking at room finder was a bit dismayed to see that they do have 1st floor unit(s). I just can’t, would be far too noisy and would hate to keep curtain shut due to passers by. Yes, I’m aware that’s a problem of my own making there, I’m sure others would love it.
In the past had a garden view over the lawn, could see the boat dock from standard studio. Really nice location. Not sure how many units of that type, in that particular section. Would be thrilled with one of them.
Also, didn’t find the main pool location particularly noisy in the evening the couple of times we did land there over the years. Nice to have a view of Swolfin statuary.
Never landed in the quiet pool area.
TBH, since we rent a car; always requested the standard studios located near end of the long hallway. Most don’t like it, so it’s often granted. The steps are good cardio lol. Like how it’s close to parking lot which adds up over the course of a trip.
Any thots?
If you could see the boat dock and it was not BW view, then it was pool/garden view, not standard. That whole section of rooms overlooking Village Green is pool/garden studios, floors 2, 3, 4, and 5. They also are close to the elevators. Some of the standard view rooms along the driveway entrance have a view of high fireworks at Epcot and, as you mentioned, there is that door at the end of the standard view wing that is close to the parking lot and the bus stop.

For boardwalk view, there is one 2BR lock-off and one dedicated 1BR on the first floor, next to the DVC preview center on the first floor of the Crest o' the Wave section of the boardwalk view rooms. There are no other boardwalk view rooms on the first floor. Those rooms were actually part of the preview center, as the rooms to be viewed by potential buyers, before BWV reached sell-out stage. They are one of the reasons I always request higher floor with boardwalk view (and have always gotten that request).
