Re: Successful Resales & Rental Feedback Wanted (by Daniel O.):
Where would I be without Redweek? 10 years ago my Family and I were staying at hotels or rented condos on VRBO which was ok but not the best. When I saw "Timeshare rentals online" I was a bit doubtful that the process would be easy and who you would be dealing with.
With a few timeshare presentations under my belt I was thinking to myself how I could rent or purchase timeshares for a good price. I found Redweek.com in an ad in the San Jose Mercury News a few years back and had to try it for myself. My family and I rented the Sheraton Scottsdale Villas and more recently The Ridge Tahoe in a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit for less than the cost of a small hotel room one of the hotels/casinos in the area.
What I can't believe is the price you are paying per night for the amenities you get. The price that is stated on Redweek.com includes everything. There are no hidden fees. Its great being able to work directly with the owner of the week. The process is straight forward. All we had to do is send a deposit and then pay in full. There was a contract stating how we rented the week and it could not have been easier.
As a result of successful rentals we bought a resale at Villa Mirage in Scottosdale without a hitch and are looking to buying more timeshare resales.
Back to the point of attending Timeshare Presentations when I see their 90 minute scams(except for the free gift card) I can't help but imagine at all the unhappy people who paid $15,000-$25,000 for the same week. With Redweek.com there is no pressure to buy. You can ask the owner of the week any questions you would like. You can even exchange your week, get bonus time by renting your week and sell/buy resales.
Redweek.com compliments if not replaces II and RCI.
Overall Redweek.com is a gem and there are many people still using VRBO for homes/condos that could have been trashed, no pool onsite let alone a kitchen with mismatched items.
You are renting a quality villa and you can check out the reviews online before you rent.
With our recent II Getaway at Worldmark Indio(noisy and too many kids) you are not bound by II's rules here at Redweek while you may not get your first or second choice you can find places that suit your needs.
