Orlando Timeshare free to good home - Vistana Resort - Falls Section
2 bedroom (non-lockoff) deeded fixed week 12 unit 0255 every year (Spring Break/Easter). The week is fixed but can be used as a float any week of the year by canceling the automatic fixed reservation. This is a voluntary resort, there are NO staroptions, all trading is done within the resort or Interval or RCI (dual affiliated). This week is paid off with no mortgage or special assessments pending.
New owner to pay transfer fees estimated at $175 ($150 for LTT and $25 Vistana). I've seen this same week listed with resale brokers for $2500.
First usage year is 2018. Usage for 2017 has been paid for and deposited in Interval. 2018 usage can be deposited right away by paying the maintenance fee in advance. I have owned this since 2014 usage year, I am passing it along to another TUGer since I purchased more HGVC points. I've never stayed at the resort, had some great trades with Interval and RCI. I got it to trade for Interval resorts since Hilton is only affiliated with RCI.
Maintenance Fee Detail for 2018:
Maint Fee - $840.07
Tax - $82.27
ARDA - $5.00. (optional)
Total: $927.34
Trading fee in Interval is $139 for Vistana (Sheraton/Westin) resorts and has first preference on deposits, $169 fee for other trades like Marriott.
Week 12 is a high demand spring break Orlando/Disney week so it trades well in Interval or RCI. Depending on the year it may fall on Easter or the week before and gets excellent RCI TPUs. 2018 is estimated at 40 TPU. I got 56 TPU for 2016.
This week gets a bonus Accomodation Certificate from Interval for deposit, and I have received extra bonus ACs every year. ACs typically cost from $250-$400 depending on unit size traded into.
This is a 2 bedroom week so it avoids the new Interval upgrade fees.
