Per the owner:
As I finalized the booking using my Marriott points, a wave of excitement rushed over me—I was taking my grandchildren to Myrtle Beach, a place where memories would be made in the warmth of the sun and the rhythm of the waves. The thought of their joyful squeals as they ran through the sand, searching for treasures hidden in the shore, made my heart swell. As we arrived at the resort, the ocean breeze greeted us, and from our balcony, we watched the sunrise paint the sky in hues of pink and gold. This trip wasn’t just about a vacation; it was about slowing down, cherishing laughter, and passing down the simple joy of beach days to the next generation.
Each morning, we set out with empty buckets and endless curiosity, strolling along the water’s edge in search of seashells. The waves playfully chased our feet, and every unique shell we found felt like a tiny gift from the sea. The girls giggled as they compared their collections, debating who had found the most beautiful one. In the evenings, we rinsed the sand from our toes and gathered on the balcony, the sound of the ocean humming in the background as we shared stories and enjoyed the cool night air. As I watched their sleepy smiles, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude—for the time, the place, and the gift of being together. Myrtle Beach had given us more than just a trip; it had given us moments we would carry in our hearts forever.

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.
