Where exactly are maintenance fees that high??? I have owned a handful of coastal U.S. location weeks, at several different resorts, for almost 25 years now. NONE of my annual maintenance fees have yet reached $600, so I'm genuinely curious about the factual basis for your $1200 MF reference (which is more than twice the amount which I pay for any of my weeks). Where exactly might that $1200 MF be, if I may ask?

Many "high end" timeshare MFs - e.g., Marriott, Starwood, Hilton, etc - exceed $1,200. Just a cursory review of Marriott listings on Redweek revealed several Marriott listings at Streamside Vail with MFs in excess of $1,200. The Redweek listings for Marriott Kauai Beach in Hawaii indicated MFs in excess of $1,616. There is one non-Marriott listing in Vail - Streamside Aspen - with a MF of $1,431. Within the last year I sold two timeshares in Vail because the MFs exceeded the fair rental value for summer weeks.
