Can you lock-off inside of 60-days from check-in?

Can I lockoff a 2-bedroom reservation inside of the 60-day window from check-in for a week's ownership reservation? (If there is availability of course)

Try asking owners site chat.

Yes you can. They may have to elevate the request so that it is done manually (instead of electronically).

Keep in mind that this is your ownership week. If it is a lockoff week then you own it and retain the right to lock it off. Note that will have to pay the $95 lockoff fee if it is not enrolled.

If I am understanding your post, that is not necessarily accurate. Owning a lock off at a resort that has both does not guarantee the ability to either reserve a lock off or lock off later. If the components are available at the time one wishes to change, it can be done easily. In addition to the L/O fee, if applicable, there may also be a change/cancelation fee. In most cases if one has a L/O reserved, one can later lock off but this is not guaranteed as some resorts limit the number of rooms that can be locked off. From what I've seen if you push it far enough it can be accomplished but it may take calling and speaking with a supervisor even calling a few times.

Of course it's always based upon availability......

I forgot to mention that I routinely lock off very late but I own in a Resort that has 100% lock offs so it's never an issue for me (other than the time it takes the rep. to get it done manually).

Thanks, that makes a big difference but still isn't guaranteed though if one pushes it hard enough I would expect eventual success. Some people are under the mistaken impression that owning a specific version of given unit guarantees that exact unit type and this is not accurate.

The resort in question is Ocean Pointe- which is 100% lockoffs, but thank you for the clarification. Always helpful in case others find this thread in the future by searching!

And that's the way I tend to post information, for the broader audience. Still, it's not guaranteed that one can do so but normally you can get it done if you push hard enough.

Are you saying that at a resort where you can reserve a full-villa or full-villa lock off, that the resort may not give me a lock-off? That doesn't seem right.
Even if I don't lock-off/split the unit before I arrive, I assume people get a lock-off so they don't have to share an entry with friend/guest whoever.
And I know when I have put in room requests, they have reminded me that I reserved a lock-off so only room x was available from my list of x,y,z.
Or am I missing something from you statement.

Yes, that's what I'm saying at least in certain situations. First, if both types are "available" then you can reserve either. But both types may not be available. Specifically a L/O may not be available because they are all reserved or already been separated such that there are no full L/O units available. But it can also happen where the resort designates that only a certain number may be reserved as 2 BR and thus hold them for those wanting the smaller units. I do think the reverse is true at some resorts where they limit the number of smaller units that can be reserved and save some as 2 BR only. The ultimate point is the resort can designate the units in a way that make them not reservable even if actually available. And they do not have to let you split it later even if you have a L/O reserved though one can generally get it done if they push back sufficiently.

Locking off will ultimately lead to more need for vehicle parking. Thus certain resorts can and may limit the ability to lock off a unit even if a LO type unit was initially reserved.
