My wife and I recently purchased a 3BR, floating (week 7 on the deed), EOY timeshare at Island Links on HHI. The developer we bought through was called Coral Resorts. I know we overpaid: 10,000 was the selling price and we're beyond the rescind period. The MF are $450 EOY, RCI Yearly Fee, and we get 24,000 RCI points a year. We're starting off with 94,000 points. Ir also comes with a "Developers Week". It appears that we select a week/unit and locate renters. I guess we can make a little money to put towards the fees and such. People have been saying that renting is very difficult, as is selling the TS. I assume we'd lose a lot of money if we sold our unit in 15-20 years... The unit includes free golf/tennis, beach access, nice pools, etc. Here's the way I see it: My wife and I fell in love with HHI, SC. A week's vacation on HHI for 2 adults would run, at the minimum, $1500. This price includes lodging, golf, most meals, etc. I really think we will get our money's worth in the next 10-15 years. We plan to go there on a yearly basis, meaning May or October each year. Yes, I know we overpaid, but many 1st time buyers have done so. I will buy a resale from now on. What do people think of our situation? Any advice, opinions, or recommendations?
