Benefits of Owning a Timeshare

Enjoying Your Vacation Time In A Timeshare With Your Family By: Connor Sullivan
Timeshares provide you with choices for your vacation. The timeshare company most likely has resorts scattered around the country. This often means that, if you own a unit in one part of the country, you can negotiate a stay in another area. If you are not lucky enough to own a unit, there is always the timeshare rental. If you have a unit that you no longer need, you can find web sites that help people to sell timeshare units. They can even be auctioned off.
But what is a timeshare? It is most often a condominium unit in a resort. Normally a group of purchasers buy into a single unit. Each buyer is assigned a set time during the year during which they have exclusive occupancy of the unit. As with all condominiums, a monthly maintenance fee must be paid, whether the buyer uses the unit or not. The resort must be maintained whether or not owners are using their unit.
So what are the advantages of owning a timeshare? First of all, it is like the difference between a condominium and a house. A homeowner is responsible for all aspects about the house, both inside and outside. A condo owner is responsible for everything from the wallpaper inward. He or she pays a monthly maintenance fee so that the condo association can take care of the outside maintenance such as roofs and the grass. A timeshare works the same way. You have a place in the woods to call your own, but you are responsible only for the inside. A landscaper is in charge of the outside. By contrast, a family that has full ownership of a cottage on a lake must maintain everything in and around it. – Vacation Max
Another advantage is that you can forget about your unit except at vacation time. During your week, the place is yours exclusively, and it is predetermined how it will be used and who will use it during the remainder of the year. By contrast, the owner of the cottage can take the family there at any time during the year. But if the family uses it during only certain weeks of the year, they may want to rent it out at other times so that they can earn money toward the maintenance of the cottage.
But during your week it’s your little piece of heaven. Your kids can get some outdoor time. If your resort is on a lake, they can swim, boat, water ski, and all of the other fun things kids enjoy when there is water around. Since you always go at the same time every year, you can all get to know your neighbors who are staying for their allotted time. They will want to be your golfing and tennis buddies and your picnic partners.
If you don’t own a unit, you can rent the time of another family in their unit. This would be a good way to get to vacation in different parts of the country. An owner can also experience this same variety by trading weeks with owners in different areas.
