We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion??? (by Emilio T.):

johnh1645,

I own a point system timeshare through Sapphire resort formerly Geo Holiday. I would not recommend buying timeshare. It is better to rent from timeshare owners that way you don't have to worry about paying a yearly maintenance fee on top of your initial purchase of timeshare. I hope this help.

Hello all,

My wife and I are new to Red Week and joined to start doing some purchase research.

We love Marco Island Florida and have been renting a home for the past couple years, we like to travel in late Sept.- early Oct, the "off season". We like having our own pool and spa, but its a pain to drive and a walk to the beach, then try to find chairs. We visited the Eagles Nest and liked what we saw, there are many opportunities to buy a flex share there for around $3000.00 + yearly fee's approx. $1200. Even if we can catch a "deal" on a house its at least $1600+.

What's your honest opinion on all the above and more?
