Can you imagine having access to dream vacation destinations year after year without the costs and responsibilities of owning a second home? That’s exactly what a timeshare offers.
What is a Timeshare?
A timeshare is a vacation ownership model where several people share the right to use a property during specific periods of the year. This allows you to enjoy quality accommodations in prime locations for a fraction of the cost of owning a full-fledged vacation property.
Flexibility That Fits You
Gone are the days when timeshares were rigid and limited to the same week each year. Today, points systems, exchanges, and vacation clubs (like Club Sunset) allow you to choose flexible dates, easily change destinations, and reserve units of different sizes according to your needs.

Long-Term Value
Compared to traditional vacations, with a timeshare you can plan ahead without inflated peak season prices, save on luxury accommodations that could cost triple the price of traditional vacations, and enjoy exclusive benefits like premium amenities, memberships, and preferential access.
5 Common Timeshare Myths (Debunked)
- “All timeshares are scams.”
False. While scams do exist, purchasing from reputable developers (like Club Sunset) and reading contracts carefully avoids surprises. Transparency is key.
- “They can’t be exchanged.”
False. Thanks to platforms like RCI or Interval International, you can exchange weeks and points to vacation in thousands of destinations.
- “You can only use one week a year.”
False. Many current models are points-based, allowing for multiple short stays or one long stay, depending on your travel style.
- “They’re too expensive.”
False. It’s a long-term investment. What you pay for a week today could double in 5 years if you book traditionally every time.
- “They can’t be resold.”
False. Although resale can be challenging, there is a secondary market, and many clubs offer buyback or transfer programs.
