There are actually four owners at Newport Beach who have purchased all 52 weeks at the Marriott Resort! We are on Marco Island and we have sold more 4, 8 and 12 week packages here than any other resort!

Gosh, 52 weeks X 28K a week = 1 million 456 thousand dollars and say the maintenance fees are $900 a week, that adds another $46,800 anually totalling 1 million 502 thousand dollars a year .... that's mindboggling. I would have liked to have been the Marriott salesman that sold that deal .... no telling what his commission was, however I wonder if the buyer actually made a good deal with prices of houses and condos falling like rocks in California.

I can understand rich snowbirds buying 4, 8 and 12 week packages in southwest Florida (Marco Island Marriott) in that low supply, high demand area for weeks 1-15.
