Does this Marriott TS exist?

[thinze3]

Does a Marriott TS exist that meets these criteria?

• Under $8-10K resale for a 2BR lock-off
• Studio rents for more than the MF's
• 1BR recieves an AC when deposited with II
• True platinum and/or gold season (like MGO)(not extended platinum like NCV)
• Trades very well with II

I don't think this fits the definition of a "true" platinum season. The platinum season at Manor Club is very long.

I think if you count the high demand summer weeks only, it becomes a true platinum season.

Also, that's the only time you are going to rent the studio for the same price as MF. Currently there are getaways on II for under $250 during October for the same studio that could get $700-800/week in July.

The OP was comparing the "true" platinum season to MGO, which has a short platinum season that matches just those high in demand weeks. I dont think you can count the high demand summer weeks only as they are not the only platinum weeks at MSE.

does not appear manor club is getting an a/c from ii yet.

What do mid-summer studios rent for at MMC? The difficulty booking a good rentable mid-summer week is well documented. Also, no AC's yet for summer 2009 at MMC.


What about Canyon Villas Gold?

Redweek has a summer 09 2 bedroom for 1,189. Would a studio pull 800-900 for a rental?

 

[Big Matt]

Right, but all you have to do is reserve those weeks each year. I've done it six in a row without a lot of hassle. It gets a lot easier with the 13 month rule.

On Ebay, in 7 days, I rented a MSE studio this year for $700 and the 1 bdrm portion for $800. So it didn't quite make the MF for the studio, but $1500 return from $845 isn't a bad return IMO. The 1 bdrm was the week before July4 and the studio was the July4 week. I had a really nice email from the studio renter saying it was the best holiday he and his wife have ever had and can't wait to go back - asking me to keep it for them next year too. I also have 2 MMC weeks - used one and traded the other for points this year.

At Manor Club do you have to buy MSE to be able to lock-off?
Does MSE also receive 6 free rounds of golf?
Can a guest/renter use those free rounds of golf?

Ray

Can you advertise as such?

 

[potchak]

Don't see why not. Just keep in mind the Studio portion gets 2 rounds for "free", and the 1bd gets 4. Keep in mind they are still required to pay for the cart at $35/each per round.

 

[pwrshift]

My two renters both got golf this year and I advertised it on my Ebay ads.

How about Horizon @ Branson?
--> Get it for $5000 platinum week (cheaper than Manor)
--> not sure if it can rent it more than $638
--> received AC deposit in II
--> Platinum
-->Trade very well with II

Once again, a long Platinum season. A lot of owners gunning for only a few high demand weeks. Probably better than some other resorts though.

-- Not much different than MSE except cheaper initial investment.

MYIP, do you own a Horizons Branson platinum unit?

MYIP, do you own a Horizons Branson platinum unit?

Terry

Yes. I owned both Horizon Branson & MSE... I sold MSE. Both trade well. I think Branson trade a little bit better when I was testing both of the weeks. I don't have a problem reserving prime week at Branson but have problem reserving 4th of July week with MSE. AC is always available when I deposit to II... However, MSE has to wait for the AC... I can't remember how long the wait was.

I have traded with
1 BDRM Branson to 2BDRM Grand Chateau week 52 (New Year)
1 BDRM Branson to Marriott Kauai week 51 (Christmas)
studio to Disney Saratoga Springs studio

outside of flex period.

Also, no AC's yet for summer 2009 at MMC.

AC is offered now for Branson:whoopie:

AC's have been offered for some time now at Branson. I checked into well over two months ago as I have been pondering this resort.
