CO skier: still lovin your Worldmark?
Coincidentally, I just returned from a stay at Depoe Bay with overnighters at WM Wolf Creek, UT and WM McCall, ID on the drive to and from. Depoe Bay was the only time I have walked into a WorldMark unit and thought, "This unit could use some TLC." The wavy carpet needed a stretching and the beds looked and slept like they had been there since the 1990's. But I was not there to admire the bedding and carpet; I was there for the location. Every unit at Depoe Bay is Oceanfront, and the views are spectacular.
I understand from talking with the front desk people that refurbishments are scheduled for Depoe Bay beginning next fall, so we just caught it at the end of the cycle.
Next up is Estes Park for Labor Day weekend and a brand new 4 bedroom Presidential Casita at WM Granby for New Year's Eve and a few days before. Two-story vaulted ceiling, extra large wine glasses, soaking in the private hot tub on the deck after a day of skiing powder (hopefully) all while taking in the view of Middle Park. This is what makes WorldMark the best timeshare deal for our family.
If you do decide to purchase WorldMark, send a PM to me and I will send you a list of links to help you reserve the best units at the best times at WorldMark locations or Interval International locations, if that is what you are looking for.
