I have a neat little timeshare that I bought several years ago. It is Sweetwater in Waikiki , a block from the beach. 1 BR. It is a VRI resort and can be traded through them, but I have always used RCI to trade it. It can also trade through II. It is a rotating week, preassigned, last week was June, next year is October 21st, the following year is March 3rd, then June 29th and they get pushed farther one week each time. Maintenance last year was $547 and is not expected to go up much next year. Last year's week got 45 TPU. Per the calculator, the 2017 week is worth 39 and the 2018 week is worth 42.

Next MF is due by 12/31/16 for the October 2017 week.

There are no outstanding liens, fees or special assessments.

New owner will be responsible for closing costs, and resort transfer fee of $100.
VRI recommends a closing company for Hawaii, but they charge $383 not including the transfer fee. I am sure the closing can be done much cheaper through another agency.

Free to a good home. I acquired another one through the generosity of a fellow TUGGER and have to lighten my portfolio.

Still available. Cheap way to stay in Hawaii, or a good value trader.

I think this LT Transfers is a cheaper company. They are also very responsive. I am planning to use them to give away by Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort, deeded floating week. My posting is still active!

Yes, we just used them for another unit and they were reasonable and gave great service.

This unit is still available!

I think we've stayed here in the hawaiian sun portion and it was just fine for us and recently remodeled, but it seems the units are differently managed? Have you stayed there? is it a fixed unit or can you request a view? how are they updated? what kind of amenities does sweetwater give (parking, wifi, laundry, etc?)?

Does the 1 bedroom have a murphy bed in the family room (as the hawaiian sun did)?

I have never stayed there, just used it for exchanging. It is a fixed unit that rotates weeks.
This unit has been spoken for. We are in the process of transferring title.:banana:
