Hello,
A good friend of mine owns 7500 or so annual points at this resort on Kauai, a 2 bedroom oceanfront villa. Is this a popular and high demand resort? Does anyone know anything about rental potential here? The reviews are quite favorable, but I see very few rentals out there (0 on redweek, 2 on myresortnetwork, 0 on TUG). Anyone have any success with rentals there?
The reason I am asking is because she has about two years worth of points to bank or use this year, and another 7500 or so coming later this year. She probably can't use all of these points so I told her that I would try and figure out what she could do with them. She also has a bunch of points banked with RCI. Right now she is feeling pretty frustrated and anxious about the timeshare and I volunteered to try and help her. The rep who sold them the points told them that they could go to Fiji, so the put in a search long ago (more than a year out) and nothing has come up. The rep probably didn't tell them that it would be near impossible to get a match in Fiji. I don't know anything about timeshares in Fiji, so I have no idea !
I'd like for her and her husband (who bought developer) to be happy with their purchase and try and use it. So far, I know very little about SVC and there isn't a lot on the boards either . If anyone can help me help her, I would really appreciate it!
They want to go to Maui, Fiji and Grand Cayman, Atlantis and eventually Australia. Both are scuba divers (she was just certified in 2006), and so dive locations are appealing to them right now, before they have kids.
Any chance that she could get an exchange into Morritt's Grand?
I was thinking that if SVC allowed renting out your home resort, they might be able to generate some income to cover MFs + maybe a small vacation, at least until they figure out what they are doing with all the points. Would Christmas or New Years, Thanksgiving, Spring Break and Presidents' Week be good times to rent, or the summer weeks?
She is going to authorize me to speak with a SVC rep tomorrow, but I really feel like I know nothing now, so any advice would be really great. I am a total SVC newbie!
Best use of 13000 SVC points?
Best use of 7000 points banked with RCI?
Best use of 7500 points coming later this year?
Thanks for any help !
