Hi can someone who owns a UDI contract at Myrtle Beach tell me if the 13 month ARP at other Myrtle Beach resorts is part of your deed? I know this is allowed but just wondering if its something that could change in the future. Thinking about buying some Ocean Boulevard points! :)

My Sewatch Plantation deed states, "This convyance is subject to and by accepting the deed the, Greantees(s) agre(es) to assume the following: ... (4) Fairshare Vacation Ownership Assignment Agreement and the Use Restrictions and Fairshare Vacation Plan Use Management Trust Agreement and any amendments thereto ...

ARP rights are not specifically mentioned. If they are part of the deed, they would be by reference and the answer would lie in the documents cited above.

For my Towers on the Grove purchase, one of the documents provided at the time of sale was titled Club WYndham Plus Program Summary. This document defines the Home Resort as the Resort the timeshare is located at for ARP rights.

Talked to Reservations a few minutes ago, they indicated that this contract does have ARP rights to the other Myrtle Beach locations, I did not see the ARP rights to the other resorts in Myrtle Beach in the contract for Towers on the Grove. I have been told by Wynhdam a couple of times that all Myrtle Beach resorts have ARP rights into the other ones.

I don't believe it is in the deed. My understanding is that they share a common ARP code in the computer.

What has happened with the common booking of ARP among the Wyndham Myrtle Beach is points shopping for cheaper stays. Westwinds is mostly converted fixed week points - their ARP is limited to only their underlying deeded fixed week. UDI points become global at any of the UDI resorts. So IF there are any UDI points for ARP the early birds hopes to catch the cheaper points stays --- primary target for 1 and 2 bdr units become Seawatch resort buildings. Ocean Blvd units get taken afterwards unless your perfect vacation is "I want a OCEAN FRONT UPPER unit" in a big and tall tower.

Thanks for the replies I just wonder if Wyndham will change this one day. As evidenced by looking at whats available this summer, Westwinds and Seawatch are almost "sold out" but plenty of availability at Towers on the Grove and Ocean Boulevard which costs lots more points but the MF per point are less.

Call me paranoid but I wonder if this will change in the next few years (after they sell all the available points at these two new locations ). I am relatively new with Wyndham but it seems like historically they take things away from owners if they arent legally obligated to provide it. :mad:

I'm not sure how much of their being booked up at those two resorts is due to the reciprocal ARP versus it being well within the 10 month booking window for everyone in the system though. I know I booked in to SeaWatch within the 10 month window due to the lower points needed versus the Towers.

You would have had to see what was available back in June/July.

I do not think so in the next few years. It is my understanding from a number of Wyndham sources that the Receprical ARP rights are based on contracts between the various Myrtle Beach resorts. If that is correct the ARP rights should remain intact for the duration of these agreements and any renewals to them.

Interesting....So if Wyndham or the resorts decide not to "renew" their agreement the advance ARP would only be valid at the resort which is on your deed.
The sales staff told me I should trade in my Westwinds deed for for Towers on the Grove or Ocean Boulevard since it was a lot less in MF (which is true)!

I agree my point was that it "cheaper point wise" to buy at the other MB resorts and book at westwinds or seawatch.
So much more demand at these two resorts but you cant accommodate all the owners from all the MB resorts so many will have to "settle" for other resorts which cost them more points for a similar room.
The sales staff is pushing the two newer resorts. I just wonder if the reciprocol ARP will be around forever:shrug:

can indeed change at some point....several "owner members on the management boards" have put in their blurbs that they want the mass ARP removed.......too many are booking into "their ARP" resorts and the owners cant' get into what they bought....while the other resorts are wide open.

still the usual advice - buy where you want to go...

as far as less MF.....once it it sold out, then the fees go up.

I own a converted fixed week at Westwinds and was told they might have to "kick someone out" to get me my peak summer week.
I also read that some owners at seawatch have difficulty getting the larger units even with the ARP. I suspect this is due to all the other MB owners grabbing them first...

I feel the recipricol ARP is unfair to the owners at Seawatch and Westwinds that is why I suspect in a few years it will disappear...

I agree buy where you want to travel even if you are paying a bit more!
