We have owned here since the resort opened in 2004 and have used our
weeks here every year. We loved the area so much that in 2015 we
purchased a home here in Myrtle Beach. Since then we began renting our
weeks here at the OceanWatch. This is an Oceanside unit which means the
unit is located in one of the 2 front buildings along the Main pools and
ocean. The exact unit is not assigned until checkin as this is how
Marriott operates. This unit is a Sunday checkin (July 20th) and for 7
days and we are asking $3300 for the week. Any questions please feel free
to message, email ([email protected]) or call Jan (267-254-9500)

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
