Re: Lack of listings (by Lee L.):

Newktwo: good point. The small # of units is probably why, although thee's 2 units for sale in RedWeek now.

I agree that it improves all the time.

Mariannl: To try and answer your specific questions:

What time of year do you use the timeshare? I usually go when I have time off work (Chritmas, 4th of July, etc.)

Are the condos clean and kept up with? They're a little dated, but they're well cleaned.

Is it difficult to get a reservation for the week that you want since it is a float? I've never had a problem. Janet handles reservations and she's extremely helpful.

How far in advance do you usually call for the reservation? 1 year

How long have you owned your timeshare? a few years

Do you use it every year? yes, all 3 weeks

Do you belong to the II exchange program and if so have you had any problems exchanging your week? I'm in II but have never exchanged my Oceanique weeks.

How often does the price of the maintainence fee go up? I haven't seen it rise much and they didn't even hit us with a special assessment after the hurricanes a few years ago.

I have never owned a timeshare before, so anything else you can add would be helpful. Recomed you look @ Timeshare User's Group http://www.tug2.net/ lots of good advice in the forums.

Also, I'd recommend renting there a night before you commit to buying. The resort usually has some foreclosed units for sale at a reasonable price without pressure.
