Fixed for the last week in August - 2025 Reservation: Aug. 22-29. (I honestly don't know if you can reserve other dates or not.)

Yes, Capital.

I suppose the other questions might be - does it trade in RCI/II and have you ever traded it?

It also trades well in II especially that summer week.

Oh to be young again, not young enough to be working, but to be able to take a trip there.

What is the unit number of the 2 bedroom - 2 bath you are giving away? Has it been renovated? It seems the photo you showed was a one bedroom unit that has been renovated.
How much was the Special Assessment you paid? Was that enough to do the renovation for all units?

Again, is the board controlled by Capital Vacations and is forcing owners to convert to points as they did to other resorts they manage?

Has it been renovated? When we were there in September, the front desk said it hadn't been renovated, yet.

It seems the photo you showed was a one bedroom unit that has been renovated. No - it's a 2-bdm - #26, and I took that picture while we were staying in it.

How much was the Special Assessment you paid? I think it was $700 x 2. We paid it in-full.

Was that enough to do the renovation for all units? I have no idea - I have only owned it 2 years, and I've only been there once.

Again, is the board controlled by Capital Vacations and is forcing owners to convert to points as they did to other resorts they manage? I have no idea - we have received no communication about any kind of conversion.
