Wow congratulations. Great price. I know how hard it was to find the first one. You will love two weeks in the same unit.

Thank you, I'm so very excited and to me this is a killer of a deal because to get Naples Florida for $125 a night for two bedrooms is a great deal. I love the location of this resort and it will come in handy once we move down permanently to Naples because our adult kids love this resort and I will have a place to put them up when they visit.

How would you compare this resort to hotel brand timeshares? I am a Wyndham owner.

I actually prefer this independent TS to the name brands. Our BOD are comprised of actual owners and they work hard to keep our MF in line, and since there are no corporate pockets to line it’s a win win.
If your looking for a totally updated TS with all the bells and whistles this is not that. This resort is located right on Vanderbilt Beach and a very short walk or bike ride to Delnor Wiggins Pass state park. They have free bikes that you can use, they have pontoon boats that you can rent very reasonably priced (cheaper then local places) It’s in a great area.
The units are dated but they are on a schedule to update them.
I love this place but I’m bias because I love being steps from the beach. I hope that helps answer your question.

During my last 6 or 7 years of TimeSharing I owned Weeks at 6 HOA Controlled Resorts in 6 different cities. I willing gave up the quality of HGVC, Marriott, Wyndham etc. for precise locations, certainty of the Unit I would occupy, low purchase price and lower MFs. For me it worked but I understand others may look at it differently...

$880 for 2020


I forgot to mention you are an actual property owner so you also pay 2020 Collier County property taxes which are $29.31, but the current year of taxes are put on the following years MF statement... I was able to use my deed and get a FL Resident pass for Delnor Wiggins State Park.

George, This is where I'm at in my life, I own at 4 different Timeshare locations and all but my Hyatt ownership is independently owned. As I get closer to retirement, I want to ensure that I have the TS's I want in the locations I travel to and the MF's are lower then the big company owned TS's...

My Hyatt still a win for me because I can not get a week in Key West for the amount I pay in MF's and as long as it stays that way I will continue to own my Hyatt. Plus my Hyatt, gives me the opportunity to come to FL multiple times using the one week of 2,200 points...so its a value to me at this point.

I would love to lower my MFs. LOL
We have family in SW FL, so I have casually been looking at places, but it's scary purchasing sight unseen.
I did get a RCI ongoing match for Vanderbilt Beach and Harbor Club, so I will give it a try next year

I think you will really enjoy it. Rapmarks turned me onto this place, as I really wanted to find a TS in Naples that was on the beach or had direct beach access. The units are dated so don't expect an updated unit like a Marriott or Hyatt but you also do not have the price tag of those big brands. I really like where this place is located at, its close for me to visit my friends and family that live on the gulf coast.

My highlight for my family and I is renting the pontoon and bringing our lunch and beverages and rolling thru the bay area.... I love it

I looked at their website. They are doing a big renovation there. Are they planning a big assessment ? I wasn’t able to see what units are for sale? Might be interested in looking.

The renovation that they are doing is from insurance money from IRMA. The BOD had to wait and fight to get the insurance money and I’m so excited to see all of these renovations happening.
