What
are the benefits of this web site?
You can rent a
condo that is less expensive than a hotel but it is much nicer and
has more room and amenities than a hotel.
What is a timeshare?
Timeshares
offers people the opportunity to purchase or rent time at fully furnished
vacation accommodations - usually in weekly increments - for a fraction
of the cost of full vacation home ownership. Timeshares can take a
variety of forms. The most common is a resort condominium (which can
range from a studio with a partial kitchen, all the way up to a five-bedroom
unit with a full kitchen and luxury amenities).

How
do I place a want ad for a resort?
Find the
resort you are interested in and choose the "Be notified
of new postings for this resort" link.
When an owner posts a timeshare at that resort, you will receive
an automatic e-mail letting you know that a new property has been
posted. You can then go look at it and decide if you want to inquire
about it.
What are my obligations?
Contact
the owner and send the owner the agreed-upon rental fee. Make sure
they have notified the timeshare that you will be using their week.
Can I cancel the rental?
Only
if the owner agrees. This is between you and the timeshare owner.
How
do I get my money back?
That is
between you and the timeshare owner.
How do I contact the owner of the timeshare?
Click
their name next to their property for rent/sale. This will bring up
a form that will be sent to the owner.
How do I contact the Timeshare?
We
are not affiliated with the timeshare, so you would have
to find them on your own.
Should I verify my reservation with the timeshare
before arriving?
Yes.
How
long do I get to stay at the resort that I rent?
Usually one week - 7 nights. Timeshares are typically rented in intervals
consisting of a seven-night stay.
What should we bring
on our vacation?
Your vacation accommodation is fully furnished with all kitchen utensils,
TV, down to the sheets and towels.

What if the other
party cancels after we complete a transaction?
If the renter cancels, the owner is not responsible for returning
their money.
The owner can’t cancel and if does, must return the
money and any other expenses (like airfare) and also may
suffer legal
consequences. How
do I know if an owner really owns that week they have posted?
When posting their week, owners submit that their information is
true and accurate. However, you may wish to contact the resort to
confirm your reservation. Where
can I leave feedback for a specific property?
Send a message to us.
Where can
I leave feedback on a specific owner?
Send a message to us.
Do
I need a rental agreement?
It
would be prudent. You can
download a timeshare
rental agreement here.
How
do I pay the owner the rental fee?
That is between you and the owner. Once you notify the
owner that they want to rent your unit, you'll need to
work on the
details
with
them. As an example,
pay 25% immediately, the owner then secures
a guaranteed reservation from the resort, gives you the reservation number
and the phone number to call and verify and then once verified the balance is
paid.
