Possibly looking to buy resale for Sea Gardens. Could someone please provide this information to me before I decide to buy? I am looking at getting 231k points. I was quoted at 87 dollars per month for maintenance fees.



Thank you!

Jeromy



The maintenance fees as you can see are a bit vague as they can be split into program fees, etc. I prefer to compare apples to apples by having the entire amount divided by the points in the contract. My experience with Sea Gardens is that you will be paying about $125 per month for a 231,000 point contract. That would be the entire amount including program fees.

Does anyone know the MF for these resorts?

I am considering a resale Wyndham purchase and found MF info on several resorts I am considering, but I have not seen those listed below. Has anyone got figures for these resorts?

Emerald Grand Destin
Ocean Ridge at Edisto
Great Smokies (not to be confused with Smoky Mountains)
Oceanside (California)

Many thanks!

Thank you so much, Capitalb! Beautiful area, but the MF's are a bit pricier than others I'm considering. Guess I'll have to decide whether low country boil is worth it! I notice you also own LaBelle Maison... I think I see a pattern there. You obviously know how to vacation, my friend!

Just noticed the wide range of reserve fund amounts for the various Bali Hai contracts. Are the UDI ones in danger of a future special assessment as they don't seem to be socking away all that much?

Well, the new 2017 assessments are out, and it looks like the programs fees stayed the same. ($128 per year or $0.55 per thousand points)

I have almost an 8% total increase, Sea Garden Ocean Palms up 12%. Up big last year also. Last year reserve was $270, this year $300. Either they are trying to avoid an assessment, or encouraging members to give up their fixed weeks.

It looks like my 0.3% ss increase won't be covering it. Once again, no inflation, just higher prices.
