Timeshare Basics

What Is A Timeshare?

A timeshare, also known as vacation ownership, is a way to pay for a lifetime of amazing vacations at today's price. There are different types of timeshare, so every type of traveler can find an ownership that suits their needs. Gone are the days of visiting the same resort, during the same week year after year (unless, of course you want to!). Owned and operated by top hospitality brands like Wyndham Destinations, Disney, Hilton, Marriott or more, these corporations offer a travel club style of membership, providing flexibility and customization for vacations. Today, vacation ownership can take you anywhere in the world. Points-based systems work like vacation currency, so owners can spend time at their favorite resort every year or spend points at other resorts within their developer's portfolio. With vacation trading companies like RCI or Interval International, there are even more options.

How Does A Timeshare Work?

You're probably familiar with the traditional timeshare, where owners visit the same resort for the same week, every year. It's important to remember that every timeshare brand or club works differently and that the traditional timeshare you know now comes with more options than ever before.

The average timeshare square footage is over 1,180 square feet. That's over three times the size of a hotel room!
