Would someone mind looking in the system and seeing if there is any efficiency availability at La Cabana for Nov 15-22. I'm thinking of renting points, but need to check availability before I seek out sellers. thanks

I will take a look for you....
There is no 5,6 or 7 day availability in November.
There is no 7 day availability Oct-Dec.

November 2014? I'm not seeing anything available all month for four nights, and even dropping it down to two nights, the 16th-18th are not an option.

If you're thinking of renting for 2015, you odds are good, and some people can get on the wait list now/pretty soon, but reservations won't be verified until eleven months out.

Yeah November 2014. I'm surprised by lack of availability. Last year, there was plenty, must be signs of a better economy

Bluegreen changed the rules recently and did not grandfather in current reservations (which I think they should have, but whatever). So now there is availability from the 16th-20th in a studio with no view. Which they describe as just that "Studio - No View." Rare bit of truth in advertising!

That is such a weird description….it used to be called "Garden View".
I own unit 217C (Garden View, now NO View) and have stayed in 213A and 215A and you have a distant ocean view

Garden View probably makes more sense (seriously, every room with a window has a view -- it just may be a very bad view!), but I do think the "no view" category is pretty funny. The one resort where BG's categories kind of annoy me is SeaGlass tower, where the 1 BR Deluxe is either ocean front, or facing entirely away from the ocean. But Bluegreen has a long way to go to match the confusion of Disney's room view categories, where "water view" may mean a view of the pool at one resort and a direct, unobstructed view of a lake elsewhere, while if you want a room at the Contemporary that's practically close enough to Bay Lake to skip rocks across it standing on your porch, you need to order "Garden view."
