Frequently Asked Questions

No, this is not a timeshare; it is a vacation rental home with the amenities of a resort. You can rent the vacation home for a few days just like booking a hotel room. You get the space and privacy of a home with all the amenities and experiences of a resort.

A timeshare typically involves multiple individuals or families jointly owning a property for a specified period each year. They usually purchase the right to use the property for a set amount of time annually, often for a week or two. On the other hand, a vacation rental refers to the temporary rental of a property, such as a house, condo, or townhome, for a short period, usually for a few days or weeks. Unlike timeshares, vacation rentals are not owned jointly; they are leased out for short-term stays to tourists and travelers.
