1 week every other year - odd year. Floating time. 2bdrm lockout unit which means you can use 1/2 of the unit one week and the other half another week or you can use the whole unit at one time. Will accomodate 6 people. The resort is nestled on 450 acres in the hills about 40 minutes north of San Diego. The resort has 8 swimming pools, several club houses and 2 golf courses. It is located within a short drive to the San Diego Zoo's wild animal park, Temecula wineries and many additional amenities.

I've got 5 timeshares and don't need another. But this is a great deal. I understand that Welk/Hyatt trades well. Also the home resort is nice. (I live about 5 miles away and love the area).

You mentioned you last paid MF in 2021. Was nothing due in 2022 - ie only paying in odd years?

I am not in the market to own another timeshare as I am already paying $12K+ in MF per year, but I want to mention that this would make a good trader in II. You get 2 weeks of exchange by locking off the unit.

Yes it is, and the resort has 2 golf courses and is located in a beautiful area only 1/2 hour from the coast and the north San Diego costal communities.

This is a bargain for someone. In addition to what the OP mentioned, it is close to the Temecula wine country, to about a dozen Escondido wineries, plus the San Diego wild animal park, great hiking at Lake Hodges and Daly Ranch, plus Anza Borrego and many other locations.

I live about a mile or two (as the bird flies) from Welk. It is a nice area.

Yes it's nice, I've stayed at this resort.

You didn't mention who is paying the various transfer costs - if you are, I'll take it.

I don't know what the transfer costs will be, but I'm willing to pay up to $1,000.00 of the costs.

The department that handles the transfers will be open on Monday. I will attempt to ascertain what the transfer cost will be and how to proceed at that time if you are still interested.
