Re: maintenance schedule at spring break (by Kathi L.):

As an owner at Barony, I can't speak to the maintenance schedule Ronald 118 referred to. We've never encountered a problem not being able to get a unit where requested due to maintenance. However, he also commented on being placed in a unit behind the Westin Hotel, without a beach view. It sounds to me as though Ronald had exchanged into Barony and was placed into a unit in the Garden Villas. The Garden Villas are located across the street (which leads into the Westin Hotel) from the ocean and the other five Barony buildings, some of which have ocean view or ocean front Villas. The Garden Villas are actualy behind the Westin Hotel, were the first units built at Barony, and were never advertised as having an ocean view. They are a distance from the ocean, but the units themselves are as nice as those in the Barony oceanside buildings. My suggestion - if you're considering renting or buying at Barony from someone advertising here on Redweek or elsewhere, or exchanging in via Interval or some other service, and being in the units close to the ocean is important to you, ask first which building you'll be in. If you're dealing with an owner, they know which units they purchased, and they can tell you. If they don't know, perhaps you want to deal with someone else. The Garden Villas are very nice, and suit some people just fine. Others (like me) prefer to be closer to where most all the resort activities occur, and closer to the ocean. Therefore, I own in the Oceanside units.
