First time timeshare purchaser here - been doing alot of research and price comparisons both on TUG and other sites. I have my hands on a couple of different silver and gold Marriott properties in Hilton Head... and do think that I can make a decent deal as far as the upfront cost. My only confliction is the Maintenance Fees. Irregardless of the property, anything Marriott on Hilton Head has 900 - 1000 in Maintenance fees. Granted you're getting a nice property and its is very tradable, and the amount of money to purchase the deed aside, for $1000/year I can practically pay for 5 - 7 days at a nice high end hotel just about anywhere. Granted, not a "resort", but still.
I'm not saying that I'm turned off from the whole timeshare idea - Im just conflicted now. It seems that Marriott has a lock on the nice and more desirable resorts on Hilton Head... and it seems that Hilton Head is the most desirable in South Carolina as far as trading goes (correct me if I'm wrong)...
So I put this question out to the board - Is there another property in South Carolina (any area HHI, Edisto, Myrtle) where you have lower Maintenance Fee's, good quality and good to high trading power?
I guess this really is the million dollar question for anyone considering timeshare purchases, eh?
