Re: Aviara versus Hawaii (by Jennifer C.):

Our family of 5 usually stays on one of the Hawaiian islands each summer. We have stayed in some of the high-end timeshares there as well and found it to be a very good value for us.

For this summer, I am looking to stay at another timeshare either on the East Coast i.e, Hilton Head, South Carolina somewhere on Cape Cod, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Maine. or West Coast i.e, Aviara, Oregon, San Juan Islands.

We spent 4 weeks touring Europe last summer but will need to stay closer to home and I'm not sure there will be enough to do at Aviara. At least enough novelty to make it feel like we really got away. We live in the LA area and have friends in the San Diego area.

Hi, I have been wondering the same thing. I also live in the LA area, can't help but to think that there isn't a lot to do on-site at the Residence Club in Aviara. I am not sure if I can see myself at the Residence Club for a week, maybe weekend trips. When the kids are much older, do they really still want to visit the zoo, sea world, seems like everthing requires driving. We are thinking about Westin Maui villa. More expensive but probably a place we would like to return over and over. I am also wondering what my trading power will be with Aviara. Any help will be great.
