Re: Timeshare reviews (by Redd W.):

One of the key factors when determining if it is worthwhile to purchase a timeshare is your availability to travel during "off-peak" periods". While certainly not the case everytime, more often than not, if you are looking to rent a nice (gold crown or 5 star) property on the Atlantic coast when your kids are on summer vacation, it will either be difficult to find on Redweek, or be very costly. Same goes for ski resorts in Colorado and Utah during Presidents week and Christmas.

So, if you really like a destination and intend to visit often and can only travel when the kids are out of school, you may be "forced" to buy. Who knows, once you buy you may find out it really does make more sense to own!

Hi greg208 Interesting point, but after reading thru the many pros and cons of owning vs renting on redweek, I cannot agree that could get forced to buy anywhere. I could be wrong about Christmas Week, but it seems as if something pops up just about anywhere you want to go if you just are patient enough. My big concern is the fear of the unknown. Especially if traveling with children. But I personally enjoy going to a resort sight unseen and hoping for the best! Our flexibility is our biggest asset and we enjoy spending the savings at the restaurants and bars! Happy Holidays!
