We are Beach House owners and like the resort. Some things to consider.
The board has been fairly stable, in terms of membership, which can be positive or negative. There are generally several people interested in running for positions, meaning members are active. From what I can tell, quite a number of owners own multiple weeks.
I believe maintenance fees have been fairly well balanced with ongoing maintenance to the building and replacement of appliances, soft goods, etc. Again, as Canadians, the fee we pay is always affected by the exchange rate, so sometimes it looks better than other times.
Just wanted to make sure because I'm new to HRC and looking to make my first purchase. This seems like a really good price on the diamond weeks. Anything I'm missing/not thinking about? Pitfalls to avoid? Thanks

- Are you comfortable with a resort that is not in the "main" action of Key West? We like that feature, but some will not.
- As a smaller resort, does it have enough amenities for your interests?
- Is this one you would use every year, or are you thinking of trading? When our kids got older, we started using our Diamond week for other properties (e.g. Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch). You also need to ask yourself, what would happen if we could no longer trade within Hyatt or Interval?
