Re: Renting a timeshare: How safe is it?

[Q=tj051662] [Q=jessec18] I want to take my family to maui next year and I was looking at renting a timeshare as an option. I have done a lot of looking and read a lot of forums but I still don't feel that comfortable. Do people get scammed often? Have most renters had good experiences? Are sites like time shares only or time share adventures good places to look? Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks Jesse[/Q] Hi, Two years ago we rented a 2 bedroom unit at the Marriott Maui Ocean Club; no hassle and no problems. We liked it so much that we bought a 1 bedroom at that time and now we just bought a 2 bedroom in the brand new Lahaina Tower. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have! Thanks!

The one provided by the renter seems very restrictive to us. Thank you. Carl
