Advice on renting multiple consecutive weeks (by KC):
Finding consecutive weeks at the same resort in the rental market will be difficult. If you find a private rental advertised (whether on RedWeek or elsewhere) for a week you want to rent, you could always then contact that same resort directly to see if they might have any "house" rentals available for the preceding or following week. You will generally pay at least 25% more (plus local occupancy taxes, usually 11-12%) when renting directly from a resort (as opposed to a private rental from an owner), but it's an option to consider if you are truly determined to spend two consecutive weeks at the same place.
Although it would definitely require time and effort, you can also look on multiple timeshare-related sites for an adjoining week once you find the first week. Besides RedWeek, check rental listings on Timeshare Users Group and MyResortNetwork.com. You might get lucky and find consecutive weeks that way, but it will require some luck and fortuitous timing.
People who own a lot of points within a system (e.g., Wyndham) can sometimes arrange for multiple consecutive weeks (with enough advance planning), but that will be difficult to coordinate with an owner. Also, it seems that you are interested in one particular resort (which may not be associated with any points system at all; I don't know the property).
Just some assorted thoughts and suggestions. Good luck.
