When selecting the timeshare that’s right for you, consider your options and do research on the property for sale or rent. There are several types of timeshare ownerships to think about.

Fixed Week Timeshares

With a fixed week timeshare ownership, you are scheduled to a specific week in a month, year or other predetermined period. When you sign up for a fixed week timeshare, you are given available dates to select from as to not conflict with other owners of your timeshare.

Floating Week Timeshares

Similar to a fixed week timeshare, floating week timeshares schedule owners to prevent double bookings. No one likes going on a vacation to see another family enjoying your bed, kitchen or bathroom. In contrast to a fixed week, floating week is a more flexible option.

Right-to-Use Timeshares

When choosing a right-to-use timeshare, a buyer will lease a specific property from the properties owner. Right-to-use timeshare owners have the right to use the space in a selected amount of time ranging from months to years.

Vacation Timeshare Clubs

Next let’s talk about vacation clubs, or multi-destination clubs (MDCs). These are the newest types of timeshares, and require the least investment. Vacation club memberships enable buyers to travel to a variety of luxurious locations. Resorts give priority to club members and grant access externally to worldwide exchange options. This makes for a flexible vacation opportunity, versus our other options.

When shopping around, consider that Florida, New York, California, Tennessee and Vermont are the top U.S. timeshare destinations.
