Per the owner: we actually purchased Port O’Call because we wanted another week at Spinnaker at Shipyard back to back with week 19 that we already owned there, and that week was sold out so we just went to the next closest one to that location. We’ve loved it there though, and we have the largest unit which is very spacious and accommodates a lot of guests. We also like the large screened in deck off the master bedroom and the large jacuzzi tub. Also, our unit is close to both pools, and we like the fact that one of them is heated. The complex is walking distance to the Omni Hotel at our beach access. The Omni is an absolutely beautiful area to sit at their poolside bar and have a drink while watching the sunset. This resort also has first class tennis courts right outside the door. Our condo also includes tennis and golf.

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.
