Two very different situations, two very different responses...
Out here on the right coast reading this thread, I'm admittedly a bit confused about whether this is just a vacation "club" or an actual timeshare facility.
I don't see that particular name in several (admittedly several years old) RCI or II directories on hand, so no enlightenment is available there either.
OP makes reference to both a "membership" (
suggesting a non-facility-specific "vacation club") yet also mentions maintenance fees (
suggesting a brick and mortar facility, with underlying deed). My two cents' worth would actually be polar opposite suggestions, depending entirely upon on exactly
which situation exists here.
For a facility with deeded
ownership and associated annual maintenance fees, I'd recommend pursuing the deedback option with the HOA if it's offered and available.
A year or two of maintenance fees, plus a few hundred dollars in legal costs for new deed prep and recording is both reasonable and (minimally) sufficient to mitigate the unwelcome negative financial impact placed upon other remaining owners from "deedbacks" until the HOA or its' resale rep can (hopefully) find a "replacement" owner.
On the other hand, if this is
literally just a membership-only "vacation club" and
not a brick and mortar facility with deeded ownership and maintenance fees, I'd just stop paying them
anything further and just tell them to "have a nice day". An owner is not irresponsibly "stiffing" other owners by walking away
if it's only a non-facility specific "membership" in the first place. More often than not, such clubs are
themselves the ones suddenly folding up tent, disappearing and "stiffing" their members.
