Rent Timeshare

According to recent research conducted by Ernst & Young, nearly half of all timeshare buyers have rented timeshare first.

This makes sense. What better way to come to understand the timeshare product than to experience it firsthand, in a relaxing vacation environment? When you rent timeshare you don’t have to attend a timeshare sales pitch; you simply enjoy the resort the way you like to vacation.

The American Resort Development Association (ARDA), acknowledges the growing interest in timeshare rentals. ARDA created its VacationBetter.org website to help highlight the fun and the need to vacation regularly, whether you do it as a timeshare owner or a timeshare renter.

ARDA President and CEO, Howard Nusbaum says, “We developed VacationBetter.org as a resource to help consumers learn about the value of taking regular vacations and to share why vacation with timeshare is a better vacation. We encourage people who enjoy vacation, want to get more ‘bang for their buck’ and have the comforts of home to visit the site.”

Enjoying Timeshare Rentals

Timeshare rental vacations are easy to plan and easy to enjoy. They make it affordable for large families, along with anyone seeking the comforts of home, to vacation in spacious accommodations at affordable rates.

Skip the cost of dining out for every vacation meal. Enjoy the equipped kitchens and dining areas in your timeshare unit that make it easy and affordable to eat what you like, when you like, including those midnight raids on the refrigerator.

Pack lighter. Lug less luggage along on your trip and save the money you would have paid for extra baggage on an airline. Simply throw those swimsuits and kids clothes in the in-room (or in some cases on-property) washer and dryer and be ready to go again tomorrow.

Your Best Resources for Timeshare Rentals and Information

This new tool provides the first consolidated resource for buying, renting, and selling timeshare inventory. And while it will mean a huge boost for many in the timeshare industry, including resellers, brokers, and HOAs to name only a few, the new Partner Portal will indirectly affect consumers, too.

What the Partner Portal Means for Timeshare Owners

First, the Partner Portal provides one-stop shopping for the consumer within the timeshare industry with the most comprehensive inventory of properties for sale or rent available. Because the Partner Portal Program functions in much the same way as an MLS, prospective buyers and renters can shop online knowing they are seeing the broadest scope of the properties available on the secondary market. But the Partner Portal has value for consumers at other levels too.

The more standardization and unification of the resale industry, the more the consumer benefits.  A regulated and standardized timeshare resales and rental industry is a healthy industry.

As the high-visibility, high-traffic websites of Sell My Timeshare NOW make it easier for timeshare management companies, Home Owner Associations, and even timeshare development and sales companies to move inventory and keep timeshare resorts strong and robust, the product owned by individuals also stays strong and robust.

Whether it’s your personal budget or the US economy, spending less is key to getting a budget under control. Many vacationers have already realized that renting timeshare or buying a timeshare resale affords them a great way to enjoy a budget-friendly vacation.

You can find excellent prices on timeshare rentals because owners who can’t use the unit that year and do not plan to exchange it are often highly negotiable regarding the rental price. If you are buying a timeshare resale at a competitive price, then you are not only locking in the cost of your vacation accommodations for years to come but you are likely realizing a dramatic savings on the purchase price.

But many of the cost saving features of timeshare vacations are less obvious. Here’s a list of more ways your timeshare saves you money on vacationing.

Timeshare Vacation Tips for Saving Money

1. Because many timeshares offer washers and dryers in or near your unit, you can shop for fewer vacation clothes. Just as importantly, with so many airlines charging baggage fees, you can pack lighter.
2. While eating out is part of the fun of vacationing, it is also one of the big costs. With kitchens and dining areas in most timeshare units, meals on your family vacation don’t have to cost any more than you would spend eating at home.
3. Many timeshare resorts are vacation destinations within themselves. With so many amenities and activities on property, your family can have a great vacation without spending a lot on gas, car rentals, and admission pricing for area attractions.
4. When you do visit nearby attractions, always check with your timeshare to see if there is courtesy transportation to these locations. You may also want to inquire whether your resort offers a shuttle to and from the airport.
5. The option to exchange timeshare means you can vacation at a resort destination near your home, have a fully relaxing holiday, and save the time, costs and scheduling considerations of extended travel.

As Harry Potter fans in London rolled out this week to view the final movie in the magical saga, emotions run high with many fans. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” is movie number eight in a series that has captured hearts, imaginations, and wallets in a way that has been both epic and mind boggling.

The Harry Potter movie series, featuring young Harry, Ron and Hermione, has already translated to more than six billion dollars for Warner Brothers, and billions more in the sale of branded merchandise. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, has become the first billionaire author in history as a generation of children discovered the joy of reading as they followed the events of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But in addition to the joys of reading and watching the Harry Potter books and movies again, or visiting Pottermore, the in-development website where fans and fanatics can enjoy an online interactive experience, there is one more way for Harry’s followers to get their wizardly “fix”; they can visit the Harry Potter™ theme park at Universal Studios Orlando.

Harry Potter Theme Park and Your Orlando Timeshare Vacation

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ provides fans and followers a way to “step into” Harry’s world, visiting the shops of Hogsmede, dining at Three Broomsticks and the Hog’s Head, and walking past the gates of Hogwarts castle, or through the classrooms at the academy. With rides, shows, and interactive experiences, park visitors sip their butterbeer and immerse themselves in a park that brings the beloved characters (and their nemeses) to life.

Orlando timeshares offer many great locations for planning a Harry Potter experience but some of the closest timeshares to Universal Studios Orlando include the Westgate Palace timeshare resort and Bluegreen Orlando’s Sunshine Resort timeshare. Pottermaniacs may want to select an Orlando timeshare within walking distance of the Universal Studios theme parks. Another option is to ask if the resort where you buy or rent timeshare is served by a shuttle to the popular parks, as many destinations are.

The beloved Harry Potter movies may be coming to an end. But as long as Universal Studios Orlando offers The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you are just a timeshare away from the series you and millions of others have come to love.
