The World Is Your Oyster With Timeshare Rentals

Renting a timeshare gives you all the advantages of a home away from home without locking you into a financial commitment before you're ready. Consider these great reasons for renting a timeshare and see if you recognize yourself:

• You're considering buying a timeshare but you want to try it on for size first.
• You're thinking of retiring to sunnier climes but want to visit the area during different seasons to see what it's really like before moving.
• You're celebrating -- maybe a special anniversary or your honeymoon -- and want something private, romantic and luxurious.
• You want to surprise your spouse with a unique vacation -- island hopping on a luxury yacht in the Caribbean or an RV cruise through Alaska's wilderness.
• You've always wanted to experience faraway exotic places, but as a native, not a tourist.
• You've finally gotten the clan to agree on a family reunion but now you need a comfortable place to house and feed them all.
• You're vacationing with friends and family and want a home base where you can gather and cook meals to manage expenses.
• You love traveling but hate the impersonal sterility of hotel rooms. You crave the comfort of a home-away-from-home.
• You've always wanted to stay in a very exclusive, very luxurious resort, but it's members only.

If any of these scenarios describes your dream vacation, you should consider renting a timeshare instead of booking a hotel. There are 5400 timeshares around the world in every imaginable locale from the hot sandy beaches of Fiji to the rolling Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, from the rocky highlands Scotland to the verdant jungles of Guatemala, from the colorful raucous cities of Thailand to the quiet alpine villages of Switzerland. Timeshares are Fantasy Land for adults. Timeshares put the world at your fingertips and within your grasp!

What You've Always Wanted to Know About Timeshares

Timeshare. You've heard the word bandied about as in:

"Wow! We stayed in this fabulous timeshare right on the beach with a private pool, maid service, a gourmet cook ..."

Or perhaps you've heard:

"Ugh! We went for the free breakfast and they tried to browbeat us into buying a timeshare ..."

There's a lot of misconception, misinformation and the occasional misanthrope associated with the timeshare industry. It's like any business. When you deal with responsible, reliable, trustworthy people, you'll have a first-class experience. When you don't, you won't. Timeshare Giant will show you how to go first-class every time. When you work with Timeshare Giant, your only regret will be that you couldn't stay longer. What is a timeshare? Basically, a timeshare describes a group of people who share the cost and use of a vacation home. In effect, they pool their resources to buy and maintain a vacation home, then take turns using it (i.e., sharing the time the property is considered theirs). There are all kinds of timeshares: single family homes, hotel suites, private clubs, condominiums, apartments, campgrounds, cabins, luxury villas, castles, yachts, cruise ships, houseboats, even RVs. How do timeshares work? Generally, ownership is divided into 52 weekly units, 51 of which are sold with one week retained for annual maintenance. For every unit you buy, you are entitled to stay at the property for one week, enjoying all the privileges and rights of ownership. Why buy a timeshare? Timeshares are an affordable way of owning a vacation home and enjoying the luxuries of an expensive resort. Owning a timeshare is an investment in your lifestyle, a commitment to your leisure life, a promise of exciting future holidays, and an opportunity for family togetherness. The joy of flexibility. Timeshares allow you to tailor your vacations to accommodate your varied interests. Some people own timeshares in different parts of the world or in different climates -- the beach in summer, alpine slopes in winter. They may choose an RV timeshare for summer treks with the children but opt for a cozy condo in the mountains for a romantic winter interlude. Variety, after all, is the spice of life! Interested?
