Understanding the Basics of Timeshare Property

!±8± Understanding the Basics of Timeshare Property

Timeshares are an extremely popular form of vacation ownership in which you can purchase a week or longer in a specific home or apartment during the year. Timeshares have been around for decades and there are millions of families that enjoy their timeshares each and every year. Here are some basic tips on understanding timeshares.

The main reason that many families opt for a timeshare is that the quality of accommodations in their favorite vacation spot is much higher and usually much more affordable than motels or hotels in the area. Most timeshare properties usually have free leisure facilities by the property as well making it a great way to relax at your favorite destination.

Most people either buy a timeshare that is for a specific week (fixed week) in an area year after year or choose a week each year (floating system) in which they would like to stay at their timeshare property. Most timeshares also allow you to swap your choice of week with another family either at the timeshare property or with others that own a timeshare property in another location.

What makes timeshares great is the level of comfort and accommodations. You do not have to stay in a sub par motel or hotel during your vacation, you can enjoy top quality accommodations in many different sizes that are always clean and comfortable.

For instance, most Florida timeshare properties usually come in assortment of sizes and amenities. If you have a smaller budget or if it is just you and your spouse, you can easily find a comfortable one or two bedroom timeshare property. For larger families, you can enjoy a three bedroom timeshare along with a lounge area, kitchen, patio and a host of other amenities that motels or even hotels can't come close to. The one thing to remember is that all timeshare units are self catering, meaning there is no room service or hostess at the counter, you are responsible for your meals which are usually extremely easy to prepare in your own kitchen.

Buying a timeshare is a convenient process and most timeshare property buyers will usually put down a payment to buy the rights to the timeshare as well as to use it for the week or longer each year. There are also yearly fees which includes fees for keeping the property maintained, a fee for cleaning your accommodation before and after you use it and fees for any taxes.

If you visit an area each year and would like to stay in a much higher level of accommodation, one of the best ways to accomplish this goal is with a timeshare property.

Buying a Timeshare - Marriott Vacation Club Timeshare Resorts

!±8± Buying a Timeshare - Marriott Vacation Club Timeshare Resorts

Marriott Vacation Club International began in 1984 and the following year, Marriott Rewards was introduced and this allowed the company to partner with timeshare resorts. In 1986, Marriott's Sabal Palms in Orlando, Florida was the first Marriott timeshare resort. In 1987, they opened the Royal Palms at the same location. Both these timeshare resorts were adjacent to the Orlando World Center Marriott and of course, very near Disney World.

Marriott's main draw is the high reputation that the Marriott chain has in terms of luxury and service. Their advertising promises timeshare owners spacious villa accommodations in popular and exotic locales. Marriott is careful to underscore the value of the their name when it comes to travel and you'll definitely pay for that premium whether buying direct from Marriott or from a reseller, but naturally buying a Marriott timeshare on resale represents a significant discount from the developer's price.

You can buy a timeshare at the resort of your choice and enjoy that location year in and year out. Owners can also exchange their weeks through membership with Interval International. Through Interval International's Internal Exchange program you can exchange your time at your home resort for equal time at another Marriott Vacation Club or Grand Residence Club, also owned by Marriott, globally.

You can also use Interval International's External Exchange and exchange your timeshare for another resort from any of the other vacation companies that are affiliated with Interval International. Currently there are about 2,100 affiliated resorts spread out over 75 countries.

You can also exchange your week or weeks for Marriott Rewards points that allow you to book cruises, buy airline tickets, and rent cars, among other things. You can even exchange your Marriott Rewards for hotel accommodations. But like the Disney Vacation Club membership, using Marriott points for anything other than the timeshares themselves is usually considered poor use of the points since frequently the points values for airline tickets, car rentals and such are inflated above the actual cash cost. I would only use Reward points if I had to use up the points.

What does a Marriott Vacation Club villa have to offer? Here's a typical scenario - accommodations for 6 to 8 people - about 1,100 square feet - with separate living and dining area and multiple bathrooms. The kitchens are fully equipped for eight people. There are televisions, DVD players, washer and dryer. In other words, all the benefits of home without many of the hassles.

If you are familiar with timeshares, you know the benefits of such a vacation plan in general. What Marriott offers that makes it unique from other timeshares is its reputation and luxury. While I think that Marriott is comparable to what is available at some of the Disney Vacation Club resorts, there's no real doubt that it is a step up significantly from Fairfield or WorldMark and other timeshares. Of course, you will definitely pay more for the upgrade, but good deals aren't impossible to find if you are patient and ready to grab the bargain when you see it.
