I own a plat plus week at OceanWatch and already have too many weeks to enjoy for 2013 since we have limited vacation time. Do you think I would earn more by renting the July 4th week or renting the 3675 points?

Not sure of your view category but you should be able to rent plat + week for between $2700 - $3100. I cannot speak to the points rental.

Garden View

We purchased a Garden View pre-construction. Now that the resort is built out completely, I guess that is what I should expect. Up to this point, we have always received an Ocean view (higher floor). I would assume this will impact the rental value but I don't know how much.

For the alternative, you can likely rent the points out for $0.50 - $0.65 per point. The higher range may be possible if you give your rentor more than 12 months (ie, if you rent them 2013 usage year, versus 2012 usage year).

Good luck and let us know what you do.

Best,

Greg
