The details:

FREE

Studio at the Blue Whale Resort, Oceanside California.
Right on the beach, sleeps 2.
Week 1 to 52 float owned.
Maintenance fee is $501 per year - billed quarterly.

BEST PART - use will start in 2015 and a reservation has been made for July 24th, 2015, checkin. Using the RCI points calculator, that can generate 46 RCI TPUs - that's under $11 per TPU.

All mantenance fees paid for 2014, your use and maintenance fees will be for 2015, with the summer week already reserved for you.

I will pay for title transfer using LT Transfers or a similar company.

This is a great opportunity to get a tiger RCI trader, it routinely gets over 40 TPUs for summer weeks at a very nominal maintenance fee.

I am in the process of giving my three timeshares away. Greg and I have loved our timeshare travels and I have been a member here for a long time and learned so much. But his health issues make it pretty obvious that we will not be travelling as we have in the past.

Feel free to drop me a P.M.and watch for my other timeshares on the bargain deals forum.

We loved staying there last summer! If you happen to have a 1 or 2 bedroom unit there, let me know! ;)

Very nice of you to offer this!

I have a couple of general questions, which I hope you won't mind answering even if this is already taken.

Are property taxes separate, and if so, what do they cost?

What is the Blue Whale's policies on who gets summer weeks? Is it first come, first severed? A while back (like, years ago), I heard the Blue Whale was considering a policy where each owner could only reserve summer once every few years.

Taxes are separate, about $15 a year. I had forgotten about that so thank you.

First come first serve, there is a schedule where you call in. I've been successful in getting a summer week since I've owned this timeshare, whic I purchased in 2002 and never been questioned about it.

And I believe this has been taken but will post that for sure once the interested party has done their due diligence and confirmed.

Thanks

Bev

Thank you, Bev!

Those $15 taxes are a great deal! I pay around $75 a year in taxes at Winners Circle in Solana Beach! (Although I think that includes street lights and storm sewers or something.)

On the other hand, San Clemente Inn in Orange County charges me no property taxes at all. I talked to the Orange County tax assessor about it, and he said billing me wasn't worth the county's time. I guess San Diego County is harder up for cash than is Orange County!
