This is Marriott's Shadow Ridge Enclaves. Units have just been remodeled.
This is by far the nicest Marriott resort in Palm Desert. Beautiful pool
areas, lots of walkways, plenty of parking, well-equipped kitchen.
We own two bedroom lockoffs at Shadow Ridge and have other dates for rent
under Shadow Ridge Villas here on Redweek.
I do send a contract. Your name is changed as soon as you make the
deposit. I choose to rent myself for some of my listings over Redweek's
verify/ protect. It is expensive to use their verify/ protect option. It
costs more to list for me, and RW charges me $99 success fee. When you
choose anything on Redwek that is verify-protect, you pay 10% over my
asking price.
I do have a 2 bedroom lockoff on Redweek with verify/ protect for 2/14
and for 2/15/2026. I am attempting to use the service because more people
are requesting it.
I am rickandcindy23 on TUG.

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.
