I see that my confirmation for 2008,2009 and my Tower unit for Presidents week 2010 all state under confirmation notes owners week and my acct number at my resort! PHIL
Logistics are a bit tricky. Since I hate to book a week (especially if it is not a prime week) only to have the owner back out, so if the week requested is available, I ask for a deposit, then book the week and send a copy of the confirmation. Calling the resort prior to sending a deposit gives the renter a chance to confirm ownership, availability, unit specifics, etc.
My resort is small and has a very pleasant and accommodating staff. With all the "scamming stories" floating around the internet, I try to make the renters feel at ease as best I can. Mike
