Timeshare Rentals

If you are planning a week on vacation and want to save money on accommodation, timeshare rentals offer a great deal if you are going to be at a destination where timeshares are plentiful. Often you can save money over what you would spend at a comparable hotel and in all cases you'll have a lot more room. Plus it is really nice to have a kitchen or kitchenette during your vacation. Just think of the savings there.

You can rent a timeshare from owners who won't be using their week, owners who make a business out of renting their timeshares, resorts with rooms to fill and exchange companies that have an excess of weeks available.

Depending on where you want to go, you may want to book your timeshare rental quite early - as much as several months in advance. But for many destinations, you shouldn't have any problems finding a place the week before you intend to visit. For example, you can easily find a timeshare to rent in Orlando at just about any time of year. With the exception of the Keys, there are plenty of Florida timeshares you can rent.

If you want to visit Key Largo or some popular spots along the California coast, however, I recommend that you start making plans several months in advance. Both areas have limited numbers of timeshares so they book up quickly.
