I hear a lot of good things about the pool at Beach Club. I'm not a big pool person, but it might be a consideration for you. The clown face at the Boardwalk creeps me out. I would go with the Beach Club. :P
We have stayed at both. Boardwalk Inn is a favorite of ours but BC is good too. We just prefer “the feel” of BWI and the proximity to the walking path to The Studios.
I do agree with the above posters that if the pool is your priority go with BC.
Definitely Beach Club for us. We find it a bit quieter and less busy than Boardwalk. But both are very nice - perfect location if you're enjoying EPCOT and/or DHS. But like stated above - no comparison for the pools. Stormalong Bay is the winner!
I have never stayed at Beach Club, but I have visited the resort... I like the looks of it, the feel when you are there... I have stayed at BoardWalk Inn several times, last time a few years ago as a DVC member... And my take away, ugh... I used to love it... I mean, I still love to visit the resort, walk around, eat there... The lobby is gorgeous... But staying??? Don't think I will stay there again...
First, parking lot is very far from the lobby... Second, if you don't have bell services helping you with your luggage, it will be a struggle to your room, depending where your room is... Took my friend and I over 20 minutes to find the room we were given... We were down hallways that were no where near the room... We had to stop and ask a manager where our room was located... Funny thing was, she had no clue either... And neither did housekeeping... We were done after finding the room... The hike was enough to tire us out...
Pro: room was gorgeous... Pool is nice... View was fine...

TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Having stayed at both, we prefer the BC. I think they are comparable. We only prefer the BC for it's proximity to the World Showcase. After an evening of food and drinks, it's an easy stroll back to the room.
Love being able to walk to Epcot & HS! so either resort would work. We've only stayed at the Beach Club and we would go back, if money not be an issue!

Either one is great as well as Yacht Club. They are really basically the same level of service and amenities just different themes. Some people like the pool at Beach Club but we never go to the pools so I have no idea what it even looks like. My mindset on the pools is I don't go to WDW to swim or lay by a pool.....I could do that at a hotel or resort anywhere if that is what I wanted to do.
