I just recently bought a vacation ownership (similar to a timeshare) and want to take my boyfriend somewhere for his birthday. His birthday is awhile away (October 9). I am looking for somewhere romantic that has fun activities and entertainment. I don’t want it to be too quiet or boring of a place. I am looking for somewhere with a romantic/pretty landscape where we can sightsee but I want to take him to do fun activities too. I haven’t been outside California much so I need feedback on the locations I had in mind. Here are the locations I had in mind:

1.Estes Park, Colorado
2.Steamboat Springs, Colorado
3.McCall, Idaho
4.New Orleans, Louisiana
5.West Yellowstone, Montana
6.South Shore, Nevada
7.Depoe Bay, Oregon
8.Eagle Crest, Oregon
9.Gleneden, Oregon
10.Running Y, Oregon
11.Seaside, Oregon
12.Bear Lake, Utah
13.Midway, Utah
14.St. George, Utah
15.Wolf Creed, Utah
16.Birch Bay, Washington
17.The Camlin, Washington
My boyfriend and I got the vacation ownership together so he will like pretty much any of the places I have listed. He isn’t picky, just like me. We just want to get out, see new places and experience new things. He will be damn happy with any places I take him. And please do not suggest any locations that I didn’t list. I haven’t afford to just go anywhere…that is the point!

A friend of mine recently moved to Florida and began selling timeshares. I referred my mother-in-law to her, because she has been talking about selling her timeshare for years now.

Is it typical practice to pay a certain amount before your timeshare sells? She was charged a fee, a large fee, but guaranteed that money back once the timeshare sells.

I was always told that you never pay for anything in advance, especially real estate. And she hasn’t received the paperwork in the mail to sign, so is this even legal??
(She was told the paperwork would be Fed-Ex delievered on Saturday, yet we haven’t received anything.)

my family and i are planning a trip there, we own a timeshare. i would like to know if its nice to stay there..

My mom got talked into purchasing a "discounted vacation" over the phone through a company called Great Vacation Destinations. The trip is a few days in Orlando, FL and then a couple days on a cruise to the Bahamas, followed by a couple more days in Ft Lauderdale. The catch is that you have to go to a timeshare presentation for BlueGreen timeshares. And there are bonus vacations that you can take to Las Vegas and Cancun etc later on.

She now regrets the decision to buy, but has already shelled out a good chunk of money which I don’t think she can get back, so we are going to go check it out. I have heard lots of people’s opinions that all these types of offers are scams, and I would tend to give the same opinion, but is there anyone out there that has actually gone on this vacation with this company and could report on their experiences and/or offer any advice to ensure that the trip is at least a success, even if it’s not the great deal that they sell you on over the phone. Thanks!

my husband and i were doped into purchasing a timeshare in orlando. then a few years later we purchased one in puerto vallarta to replace the one in orlando. not thinking that it was going to be difficult to sell the orlando timeshare, we easily bought into the puerto vallarta one because they offered us 5 weeks. can we really donate a timeshare without any fees against us and actually get rid of it. if so, which online site can we go to? how do we get rid of it without having anymore times to the stupid program?

Most companies require someone to be at least 24 to rent a house for a week. Where can I find a house (or condo, etc.) if I’m not that old?

I’ve looked on sites that have rentals by owner but I’m a little iffy on these. Has anyone used them?

my partner and i were thinking of buying a time share. can you tell me something about them thanks all
