I am going to the GO this weekend through an II exchange. My wife's cousin is going at the same time but will be arriving Sunday with a week they rented on Redweek.
I called up on Monday and requested a Starfish unit will a pool view. A reasonable request. I was told that they would be able to accommodate this but it would be a low floor which I am fine with. We discussed priority in room selection and it goes owners to DC points to II HHI exchanges to II Marriott exchanges to finally all other II exchanges. No surprises.
I had the other reservation number so I asked if they could be in the same building as long as it doesn't decrease the unit's view in the reservation. I was told that the other reservation is a rental and the renter gets treated like an II exchange.
The first question I asked was how did they know it was a rental? I got some double talk. Next I asked why a rental loses the owners view? Again I get some double talk.
Has anyone ever heard of or experienced this? Does a Redweek verified week let the timeshare know it is a rental?
When I called I had no clue what the view of the rental unitwas but I will have it before I check in on Saturday and depending on what it is, I will try and ensure they get it.
I own fixed weeks so my rentals are straightforward.
