In this video, I discuss a couple alternatives for long term stays in Timeshares.... I've used them to travel around the country for twelve months. But more recently, I have been staying in one location while I work. It is similar to staying in a luxury hotel but with more space and lots of...

If you want to have a great vacation in San Francisco, I highly recommend the Club Wyndham Canterbury. The one bedroom has a mini kitchen with dishes, etc.. so you can request a electric skillet and cook in the room. The resort is a short walk to Union Square for shopping and is close to...

In this video, I show you how you can save money by stretching your points... And by using Interval International and RCI to book last minute deals (Getaways or Last Call). The end result of this strategy is that you don't need to own as many points or pay as much in Maintenance fees...

What happens when a Timeshare company makes a mistake? There is a lot of negative news about the sales process. But it doesn't have to be that way. Especially if you are your own advocate for getting what you originally bargained for. This goes for the sales presentation through staying in...

Hey all, I'm hoping someone can just help guide me a bit. I've been clicking around this forum and read as much as I can, but I'm still a little overwhelmed and unclear. I have a Club Wyndham membership (105,000 annual points) that my exhusband bought but I received in the divorce and I just...

Part of owning timeshares is that when you use them you are offered to take an owner update. Many people hate the sales presentations and most people prefer to take the money offered as a way to pay for eating out. But my Philosophy is to always take the points... Hopefully I will make that...

About 30 miles from the Main Airport in Maui sits the WorldMark Valley Isle. The unique situation about the studio units is that they both (yep.... only two) are ocean front and have sunset views. So, if you can get one the sunsets are amazing (Video of one included). There is a nice...

I recently had an owner update with Club Wyndham. Since I am already a Worldmark owner, it made sense to see if having a complimentary ownership with Club Wyndham. While at the meeting, I decided to ask why I should buy retail instead of Buying resale (used). I wanted to hear his argument for...

About two hours north of the San Francisco is the Vino Bello timeshare by Club Wyndham. This is the only true Timeshare in Napa proper. Your only other choice is Airbnb or Hotels. The Vino Bello is located as part of a hotel complex. This hotel complex gives you the option of wine tasting...

I just completed an owner update of the Worldmark in Kona Hawaii and I wanted to share the updates... The new item on this owner update was the new Founders Level for Worldmark owners at 85000. I've listed the details of that level as they were explained to me. Because it is not fully...

Have you ever been on a vacation and wanted to extend it? And actually make it work with the rest of your life? I am one of those lucky people who could make it work.... But then, How do you actually extend the trip? In this Video, I will show you how to do it.... My first step was booking...

I wanted to create a video to help people start out their journey to owning timeshares in the most positive way. I've owned timeshares for over a decade and am an elite member with Hilton, Marriott, and Worldmark. I've and experienced a lot and want to share my approach to successfully owning...

Another way to extend your points is with the use of RCI. With RCI you can deposit your points into RCI and they will have an additional two years to be used within the RCI network. Hilton Grand Vacations and Worldmark / Wyndham come with RCI connections when purchased from the developer. In...

After spending six months in Hawaii on Five Different Islands over the last year, I thought I would share my thoughts on how you could choose which Hawaiian island would be best for you. I tried to keep my biases out of the choices as best I could. The truth is that there is really no horrible...

I am a lucky person. I have been on many adventures as a result of my timeshare ownership... In fact, the more I learn the more I can adventure. I could have chosen an RV and be an adventurer. And for some of you who watch the video, that would be a good choice. But for me and what I like...

After finally getting back to business after the Covid crisis began to subside, there were significant upgrades and changes in the timeshare industry that happened in 2022 that will grow and evolve in 2023. In this Video, I wanted to discuss those changes and the impacts going forward. The...

Which timeshare company made the best investment in past years to gain the most in 2023. I will be reviewing three timeshare companies... Hilton, Marriott, and Wyndham / Worldmark to provide you with insight based on my year of timeshare travel and my experienced gains. The impacts of the...

This video is my annual look back at last year and how many free hotel nights I earned by attending presentations, using my credit cards for every day purchases, and paying maintenance fees with credit cards, etc... This year (2022) was made special because I was living full time in timeshares...

There are three Hilton Grand Vacation options in Myrtle Beach... Anderson Ocean Club, Ocean 22, and Ocean Enclave. There are two Abound locations.... Marriott Ocean Watch and Sheraton Broadway Plantation. And there are 4 or more Club Wyndham resorts but I only review Club Wyndham Sea Watch...

Located in Myrtle Beach South Carolina, Club Wyndham SeaWatch sits right on the beach. The one bedroom Deluxe unit is described as being a partial ocean view, but you can see the ocean from the deck through the two towers as bookends. I guess partial means that you can only see a section of...

The holiday periods are many things... But they can also be a time to use your timeshares. Holiday periods are typically busier periods at timeshares, so planning is much more critical. But if you have mastered the use of timeshares then you probably have mastered the planning aspects. Not...

With all the travel I am doing staying in timeshares full time, I get a lot of opportunities for Owner Updates. This is good especially with regards to Club Wyndham and Worldmark as they are having to compete with Marriott and Hilton which forces them to innovate. Today's video is from my...

I wanted to create a video that provided a lessons learned from my travels. I have gotten a lot of joy from my travels and I wanted to share them with you. I hope that my experience would be an inspiration for many of you. I've tried to encapsulate my experiences so that you can learn from...

Ongoing costs are very important to understand because they form the basis of how much it costs to use your timeshare. Maintenance costs are similar to gas, oil changes, etc... that you have for your car... You are not done paying once you buy the car. You have to maintain the car and...

Marketing events are excellent opportunities to meet other timeshare owners or prospective owners. In my mind, these events are a form of education. I want to get better at managing my timeshare experience, and often these events help me think through what experiences I love. I believe that...

So many great places and so little time.... Well, at least I made the time. I have stayed at all the Club Wyndham / WorldMark properties on the big Island so I thought I would provide you with a comparison. It is hard for me to pick a favorite and not really sure it matters.... What matters is...

About 15 miles from the Kona International Airport sits the WorldMark Kona. This is a smaller resort with only 64 units which is why it is so difficult to book. But it is a lovely place only a little more than a half mile from the edge of Kona and all the wonderful restaurants and night life...

About 15 miles from the Kona International Airport sites the Holua Resort at Mauna Loa. This resort is next to the Mauna Loa Resort but closer to the ocean. This resort is a series of small building with less than 10 units per building. There are several pools around the property. The pools...

About 15 miles from the Kona International Airport sites the Royal Sea Cliff Resort by Club Wyndham. If you love Ocean Views and sunset, then this is the place for you. The points are a little higher than some of the other Club Wyndham location, but you should treat yourself once at least to...
