On one of the nation’s top 10 beaches, in Siesta Key, Florida, Hyatt Vacation Club timeshare is developing a fractional ownership resort, which they say is unlike timeshare ownership.

The resort will front 300 feet of Crescent Beach and will offer 44 furnished vacation condos ranging from 1600 square feet to 2600 square feet with privleges at the adjoining beach club. To be known as the Hyatt Siesta Key Beach resort, the vacation ownership property will offer valet parking, a concierge, pool, spa, and fitness center with massage treatment rooms.

Larry Shulman, senior vice president for Hyatt Vacation Ownership, Inc, says, “We have every reason to believe through an early survey we’ve done (that) there’ll be a very significant local contingent of owners more likely to purchase in summertime rather than wintertime.”

In the first phase of occupancy, 11 vacation condo units will be sold as fractional ownership residences. As Shulman explains, “Effectively, there’ll be eight owners of each residence.” Occupancy is expected by 2009.

Hyatt Vacation Club timeshare has similar properties in Bonita Springs, Florida, and in Aspen, Beaver Creek and Breckenridge, Colorado, as well as at Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

When you want to sell timeshare and you put your vacation property on the market as a timeshare resale, it may surprise you which features make it most attractive to people looking to buy timeshare. The rule is the same for timeshare real estate, as it is for residential homes, commercial property, and vacation housing: location-location-location.

Timeshare at highly sought vacation destinations is attractive to people interested in timeshare condo resales and vacation club memberships. But timeshare resales have one huge advantage over other types of real estate when it comes to the subject of location because so many timeshare resorts offer exchange privileges at other resorts, or through timeshare exchange memberships like Interval International and RCI timeshare. In fact, frequently, when people buy timeshare, they look for properties – not at the destination they want – but at a destination where they think other people will want to make a timeshare exchange.

The second factor that strongly affects salability of timeshare resales is the dates or time of the year you own. Many people who buy timeshare must plan their travel and vacation dates around school calendars. However, despite the fact that timeshare sales are increasing rapidly among younger buyers, the largest market for the purchase of timeshare weeks is still among Baby Boomers – the demographic that is the least likely to be concerned about school holiday schedules.

Of course, the features and amenities that your timeshare resort offers, also makes a big difference with attracting people to buy your timeshare resale. Beachside access always attracts buyers, as does a location near popular ski sites. But also attractive are what is known as “drive to” destinations, which may not be on the beach or near the slopes, but do offer the advantage of being geographically located within easy driving distances for large populations of people.

At the resort, it has long been the standard that location at a golf course or with golf access makes timeshare resales more desirable. But according to recent information released by M.I.C.E, (an acronym for MEETING – INCENTIVE – CONFERENCE – EXHIBITION , a professional organization for meeting and event planners) interest in tennis between the years 2000 and 2005 increased by more than 12 percent. According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, tennis is experiencing the highest growth rate of the 114 traditional sports tracked in the United States. So if your timeshare resale offers tennis courts on property or nearby, be sure to make that point known to potential buyers. In these tighter economic times, the cost of playing tennis as compared to the cost of playing golf, is bound to be a consideration by some vacationers.

Because St. Maarten is a popular vacation destination and the location of many wonderful timeshare resorts, air travel there continues to expand. Air service from the US already included American, US Air, Continental, and Delta but the additions of Spirit Airlines flying out of Fort Lauderdale and more recently, JetBlue from New York, gives timeshare owners and vacationers a lot more options in budget friendly airfares for getting to St. Maarten timeshare resorts.

St. Maarten (or Sint Maarten) and St. Martin are the French and the Dutch sides of one of the Caribbean’s most desirable vacation destinations. The two bordering governments co-exist in harmony and there are no checkpoints when crossing the borderlines, so when you vacation there you can swim on a Dutch-side beach in the morning and have lunch at a French-side café without even a trip through customs.

The island is less than 40 square miles in size, but because of the mountainous elevations, the island “lives large” with many villages built on hillside slopes. St. Maarten is considered part of the Netherlands Antilles, which also includes the islands of Bonaire and Curacao, and is just off the coast of Venezuela. The other two islands of the Netherlands Antilles are St. Eustatius and Saba, which are both close to St. Maarten.

One of the largest resorts in St. Maarten will be the new Westin St. Maarten Dawn Beach Residences in St. Maarten, where an adjacent Westin resort will provide condo owners the amenities of a hotel guest experience. Like other condotel or condo hotel developments, this should prove to be a win-win, where condo owners enjoy up to 28 days per year in their properties while receiving a percentage of the rates for the other days the condo unit is rented. At the same time, Westin can develop the property, relying on money from condo owners to greatly offset the funds the developer must secure in its mortgage.

With more St. Maarten timeshare resort and condo properties from which to choose and more ways for getting to the island, what’s stopping you from planning a St. Maarten timeshare resort vacation? The opportunities in timeshare resales in the Netherlands Antilles are huge, and Sell My Timeshare NOW is the perfect place to start planning your tropical island vacation.

At our house, we haven’t had a reason to be thinking about new baby names recently, so I almost skipped over David Berkowitz’s article, “Searching for Zeke, the Unborn,” in the MediaPost Publications newsletter. But I am a regular reader of David’s newsletter and blog, (Inside the Marketers Studio – David Berkowitz’s Marketing Blog) and once again, he had a particularly interesting article.

David was writing about a technology developed by Icosystems, which the company describes as a “hunch engine”. Unlike a search engine, a hunch engine gives you more refined information and helps guide you to your target decision. The hunch engine is the basis of a program called Nymbler, which is designed to help people intuitively choose a baby name that is the “right fit” for them.

In developing Nymbler, Icosystems is essentially designing a technology (not unique only to Icosystems) that uses the responses you provide to train your own search algorithm. Berkowitz describes it as a “form of guided browsing… consumers use the ‘I’ll know it when I see it,’ test to find what they want.”

As I read about this new direction in technology, I couldn’t help thinking that Sell My Timeshare NOW has their own version of a hunch engine. Sure, our website allows you to search for timeshare resales or timeshare rentals by resort name, city, state, or country and that is a very helpful tool.
