Per the owner: We were invited to Maui for the first time with friends to
celebrate her mom’s 50th Birthday. After our week with them we decided to
stay a few more days to kick back and relax before heading home. I chose
the Marriott Maui Ocean Club because I loved the pool. My husband noticed
the Salespeople walking around with guests and determined it was a time
share. He insisted the morning we were heading home that we went to
listen. We did and purchased a 2 Bed/3Bath Ocean View every other year.
We fell in LOVE love with this resort that we eventually got to a point
of owning 4 weeks here.
We love the staff, who are just like family, the family atmosphere and
kid friendly resort. We are farmers and vacations were far and few
between until we became owners here. My husband and I spent two weeks
every January (my favorite time because I’m a huge Humpback Whale lover)
and I would come back in the summer with my sister and friends. We
consider this resort our “Home Away From Home”

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.
