    Secluded and Beautiful Oregon Coast - A comparison of Timeshares

    I love the Oregon coast. The secluded walks along the ocean. The roaring sound of the waves. The long sloping beaches. And let's not forget the beautiful sunsets. And the rock formations are amazing. The allure of the Oregon coast is the solitude (relatively compared to Southern...

    Deeded owner's rights

    Is there anyone who can explain how Wyndham can restrict resale purchasers access to certain facilities (IE Worldmark) when deeded owners are legally property owners (Wyndham Access owners in particular) just the same as owners who bought developer points?

    Worldmark or Wyndham? I live in Arizona

    First, I have been advised to look into Worldmark, instead of Wyndham because I live in Arizona. I already own Wyndham Governors Green in VA for a 126000 Biannual/even years. However, we are paying $46/month, or around $1100MFs ($550/each year) for it. This does not sound like a good deal as it...
