Vacation Ownership - The Best Way to See the World!

Want a better vacation? Try vacation ownership! With an increasing choice of accommodations, amenities, locations, pricing, use plans, and timeshare exchange companies, you can customize a vacation to perfectly match your lifestyle. Vacation ownership can allow you to see the world! With over 5,000 resorts in almost 100 countries, you can cover every corner of the globe.

You choose the type of vacation that you want in the location of your dreams. Is the crashing of the surf calling you? Is the tranquility of an exotic island calling your name? How does a cozy fireplace snuggle under a bear rug after a refreshing day of powdery winter snow sound? Do you want to revel in the hedonism of a pampering spa retreat? Or maybe it's the wild adventure of an African Safari that you need. Whatever your fantasy, your dreams really can come true.

Sound good? It is. Here's how it works:

Vacation ownership takes the hassle out of second home ownership. You purchase your future vacations at today's prices and choose the amount of time you need. You make a relatively small one-time purchase and pay a maintenance fee each year. Units of timeshare at a resort are divided into weekly intervals or days. The trend in vacation ownership today is a "points system" that increases your options for the use of your vacation time.

You'll either receive a deed or a right to use membership depending on how the plan you choose is structured and your accommodations will be priced according to unit size, amenities, location, and time of the year.

You own the vacation accommodations for the amount of time you choose, most traditional timeshares are typically for one or two weeks. If you purchase into a points system, you can stay as little as one night or as long as you have points to pay for your stay.

The traditional interval week program offers owners the use of their resort for a week, at a scheduled time. With a points-based program, you make a purchase of a week that has a points value attached and those points can be redeemed for nights at your home resort or resort locations around the world as well as other services related to travel. Many timeshare resort developers and exchange companies are affiliated with other lodging and travel programs, giving you even more choices.

Don't think that since you chose weeks instead of points that you don't have flexibility though…You are able to trade your week for a different vacation experience at resorts around the world.

Some resort companies offer owners the opportunity to exchange their timeshare with another property that they own. Most resorts are affiliated with an independent exchange company that will handle exchanges to other resorts for you. To perform an exchange, you place your interval into the exchange company's pool of available resort weeks and choose an available resort and week from that group of weeks. Exchange companies will charge you an exchange fee plus an annual membership fee. Often the new owner's first year membership fee is paid by the resort developer. So what are you waiting for?

Timeshare Deals - The Art of Buying Time

Timeshare Deals - The Art of Buying Time

Timeshare ownership is an attractive alternative to traditional vacationing. When you make a timeshare purchase, what you are really doing is purchasing 'time'. You are buying a specific period of time at a resort that often belongs to a larger group of resorts. Usually, time is divided into periods of weeks and you will often have the option to purchase additional weeks.

Timeshares are located almost everywhere. Travel industry growth helped develop certain locations into popular destinations. Resorts helped furbish many of these areas in ways that were attractive to the consumer, then over time the concept of timesharing was brought into the market.

When it comes to shopping, you don't even have to leave the comfort of your easy chair. The Internet is full of sites that advertise timeshare deals. Almost every timeshare deal that exists is somehow connected to the internet through a listing, promotion, company or agent. A search of the words "time share deals" will bring up hundreds of results. Take your time to get a good deal and take advantage of the good deals that are out there.

If you are a regular vacation traveler, you don't have to settle for an expensive hotel room with rates that go up each year. Good timeshare deals allow you to "lock in" your vacation cost at today's dollars and realize a lifetime of vacations for as long as you own the timeshare. Why commit to a vacation home, when for a small portion of what you would pay you'll receive a very comparable level of comfort while you only pay for the time you are actually using?

Plus, your timeshare vacation can be exchanged for other timeshares in countries all over the globe! Timeshare ownership gives you the luxury of vacationing in world-class resorts with the comforts and privacy of home. Almost every timeshare owner will tell you that taking advantage of timeshare deals is a really smart way to use your vacation dollars and is infinitely more enjoyable for you.

To figure out if the deal will really save money, compare prices to a vacation in the same area. Don't forget to add in the purchase price, combined with the accompanying fees and charges. Then ask yourself, "What would it cost to go once a year to a comparable resort for 20 years?" Or even longer depending on where you're at in life. Remember that this timeshare is yours, effectively for the rest of your life and then with most, you can pass it on to your heirs. In making your decision, figure out what part of the time share is most appealing, the travel options or a particular property you are considering.

There are so many good timeshare deals to take advantage of today. The advent of the timeshare points system has developed a concept that allows for a great deal of flexibility. Depending on the size of your point's portfolio each year, you can be in Tahoe skiing one weekend, on the beaches of the Costa del Sol on another weekend and taking in the sights of foggy London or romantic Paris on another. In the mood for a cruise? You can do that too! Timeshare deals are abundant and varied and give you incredible value for your travel dollars. The bonuses and perks are nothing short of amazing. You owe it to yourself to take the time to look at them in detail. It will be time well spent!
