Re: renting (by Greg C.):

The first time we rented out Westin on Maui we used a third party to handle the transaction splitting the costs 50/50 with the renter. They've rented from us again and now since we know each other they pay me half up front and the other half about 3 months before they go. On the other hand we just rented from an owner at the same resort without using an intermediary. She sent a rental agreement, we did a three-way conversation with Westin owner services verifying the owner was current on their association dues (a lot of people forget to verify this!) and verify the change in reservation into our name. It wasn't a lot of money (1k) so went with my gut after several conversations with the owner I was satisfied. Good luck and if you have a bad gut feeling find another unit in the same complex.
