RCI Suspended Eagle Village Tamiment

What happen?

Regarding the burglary, what would there be there to take? I would think everything there would be junk.

I assumed the same thing. And i wonder who reported it and stated what was missing to the police. The place is abandoned. Can't help but immediately jump to some form of nefarious action on John Oakes/ Goochers

I'm not sure what other option besides selling you think there is. It is a crying shame what mismanagement of the property has done to a place important to so many, in terms of past memories and future vacation plans. But if you're hoping Eagle Village will stay open as the same old timeshare it has been, it would appear you are badly unaware of the state the resort it in, both physically and financially. Apparently a lot of money is owed for both taxes and utilities. And that's before you get to the money needed to fix up the property to bring the resort back up to decent standards for habitation, much less a nice place to vacation. The only place for that money to come from is the owners, and from discussions here it seems that would at the very least be several thousand per owner, on top of the Maintenance Fees that have normally been charged to keep things running for day to day operations. And apparently those fees were too low to keep things going the way they should have. Already many owners have stopped paying Maintenance Fees, so it would be very hard to get them to pay up the additional expenses needed beyond that to get the property up to snuff and then maintain the resort at the necessary level. So then that would multiply even further the amount that would need to be paid by any owners still interested in sticking around, likely in the tens of thousands or more per week owned. Maybe you can afford it and would be willing to spend that, but I highly doubt enough others would be willing or able to, in numbers sufficient to make that a viable path.

If any owner can provide a reasonable,intelligent proposal to this situation I certainly will listen.
Talking,”staying together”,etc is over.
As mentioned by me and others there is no hope that owners that have not paid their maintenance fees in the past will now begin to pay along with the enormous special assessments required.
The time has come to face the reality of this issue.
It definitely is a disgrace that it has come to this and I for one will miss staying at Eagle Village.I realize though that EV is a business that needs funding/finances to operate.
Since there is no money available and the amount of owners that have and are willing to pay are not sufficient it stands to reason that there is only one option.
Again if anyone can offer some helpful advice instead of just repeating “not to sell” I am open to meaningful suggestions.
(Maybe if the Board of Directors had realistically set maintenance fees to operate the property and had authorized someone (management company(?)to oversee the onsite management on a regular basis we would not be dealing with this crisis.)

Is there any timeline with what happens next?

I reached out to the TOWB group. He replied promptly.

My friend who lives by there just said there is furniture out on the patios and on the ground out in the rain so someone is there!! It looks abandoned other wise

Been out of the loop for a bit -- Any news? I got no bills for 2026 maintenance fee's, no notice from EV.... What happens now, we just wait for the official close letter or are they going to try billing us down the road? I want out, just don't know who to do that w/o costing me $. When you search RCI there is not much inventory on the East Coast - at least anyplace I would want to go to. The entire timeshare industry is calling apart. I bought EV for $6K back in the 80's - I'm OK with letting it go.

Wyndham is closing a bunch of properties on the East Coast too. My friend is a platinum owner for Wyndham and got so scammed. She's spent over $200K about 7 yrs ago because they keep selling her more and more (1Million points) and now her main location is closing after the new year. The nearest location for her is now NYC, which he doesn't want to go to as she lives in Brooklyn. She has to go to National Harbor in MD but she doesn't drive and has a service animal so it's difficult for her to travel and get around. She used to stay in AC for 6 + months out of the year. Now she screwed along with so many other people. Times are changing!

Any update on EV would be appreciated!

You have been out of the loop! Apparently you haven't been part of the zoom meetings. The TOWB group is now in control of the property and are trying to facilitate a vote to close. There will be no more maintenance fees. No need to spend money to get out of the timeshare. We will just sign it away after we vote to close. Spend some time reading the last few pages on this thread. Find the pages about the TOWB group and send them an email to put yourself on their list of contacts to get future information. This email should work: joe@themvpservice.com address it to Mr. Joe Takacs

It has been three months since the last communication from the TOWB organization that is overseeing this situation.
I believe it is time that we are provided a update even if there is no progress.

Hello. I m current owner of week 52 in eagle village. At least I was until yesterday because I was totally unaware of all what happened. Just found out as I showed up for my deeded week vacation. Very upset of course. Loved that place. Now I missed all the meeting obviously. What am I supposed to do now? I ve paid dues and weren't able to use it. Whom do I reach out for answers or since it deeded what legal rights do I have in this case since the decision have been made. What r my options now. And am I being responsible for any taxes portion because it deeded? If anyone could reach out from this group I d really appreciate to advise me on what ever info there is. Tnx. Happy holidays.

 

[13deltasi]

I m confused. Was or was not a vote reached to give our rights away to this company? Upon the last respond dated Dec 15 I understand we as current paid owners haven't received any update on the following. And how does the vote becomes legal by reaching majorities or must be all in?? I m not very savvy in this whole situation and feeling very lost. Could someone explains

In a nutshell: Eagle Village is closed for good. There are only about 400 owners left-not enough to carry the resort. We as owners owe 3 years back taxes to the county and school district. (Of course we cannot pay) It was offered up for a forclosure tax sale, but no one bought it. There is a group called TOWB that has been contracted to liquidate the property. There have been 2 zoom meetings explaining the process. Email joe@themvpservice.com to get put on the list of contacts so you get new info. We are waiting for the paperwork to sign to vote for a formal closing and deeding back our units. No more cost to us. They are trying to put the 3500 piece jigsaw puzzle back together again in order to sell the property. I too paid matenance fees for this year and was unable to use. Nothing can be done about that. This TOWB group is offering to repurpose the property with possibly some money coming back to the last existing owners. If that is not possible, then we just wave goodbye with our signatures. But it is imperative you get your email and correct address on the list so you get information. Sorry you arrived to a deserted resort. Did you take pictures you could post?

 

[13deltasi]

Thanks for giving full reasonable explanation. I emailed John. Just out of curiosity what was the name of mngmnt company ?

 

[13deltasi]

Got it. I read more of those prior postings. It s Goochers and Oak. I didn't take any pics. It was very dark and scary . No lights.

 

[13deltasi]

Are there any updates?

Email From TOWM. On 5 February 2026
Dear Eagle Village Owners,

Warm greetings for 2026. We hope you are looking ahead to a healthy and blessed 2026.

We are writing to provide a clear update on where things currently stand and what the Board and Management have been working on. As you can see, progress has been slower than we originally hoped or anticipated.

At this time, the property remains closed, and it does not appear likely that we will be able to reopen. You have not been billed for 2026 fees as of now.

Two significant factors have contributed to the delays, and while a vote is still planned, these matters must be addressed before it can move forward.

1. First, as we have continued our review, we have identified a level of debt and financial obligation that is greater than initially understood.
2. Second, the current real estate market presents additional challenges. Market conditions remain soft, and most experts anticipate that 2026 will be, at best, flat. As the market continues to adjust from the post-COVID surge, it has shifted into a buyer’s market, which typically places downward pressure on pricing. Ongoing higher interest rates have further impacted these conditions.

Given these factors, the Board is working closely with legal counsel and title professionals to carefully evaluate the best path forward. Our ultimate goal remains the same: to clear title so the property can be sold with title insurance. The key question we must answer is whether, given the estimated debt now exceeding $2 million and the current market environment, a sale could realistically generate enough proceeds to satisfy all debts, expenses, legal fees, and related costs. As part of this evaluation, the Board is also considering whether court involvement—specifically bankruptcy—may be an appropriate tool to help move the process forward more efficiently and potentially reduce time and expense. This option is still under careful review.

Any upcoming vote will reflect these realities and will be based on the final path and plan approved by the Board, legal counsel, and title professionals.

Please know that we are still actively engaged, still working toward resolution, and committed to keeping you informed. You will hear from us as soon as there are meaningful updates to share.

As always, be sure to keep us updated if any of your information has changed. You can reach any of the TOWB team at the numbers below:

“You have not been billed for 2026 fees as of now”
I find that particular sentence telling..
