Last year after having a ad on here for six months and nothing we decided to use it. When I checked with our resort they stated they were full and could rent our unit out at almost double our price and they get 35%.
We had them rent our lock-off unit this year which they did rent six days.
You might check and see how your resort rents too because ours rents like a hotel and rents per night,not week so you might have it rented to different people and then more cleaning fee's and you could lose some days.
Thanks for the responses, I have gotten a couple nibbles on Redweek, but nothing locked in yet. I was offering a 60 day cancelation, but I dont think I will do that any longer. I figured the resort would get much more traffic then we as individuals would and maybe it's just worth it to go through them.
I would never offer any cancelation because renters will find some way to leave you hanging. They will find a cheaper unit some where or just change their minds.
Check with your resort and see at what point if not rented you can use it also.
