A week’s stay at a timeshare for under $400 with RCI or Interval International

In order to keep my costs down living in timeshares all year round, I use both RCI and Interval international for special deals. Usually this means that I book timeshares within two months of my stay. This is when timeshares that have excess capacity lower their prices. I will be doing a separate blog aboutContinue reading “A week’s stay at a timeshare for under $400 with RCI or Interval International”

A Monthly budget for living full time in a timeshare

I have been living in a timeshare for almost six months straight. While most people are not going to do what I am doing, my budget is nevertheless useful for those who might travel for a extended period of time.

I love the Oregon coast. The secluded walks along the ocean. The roaring sound of the waves. The long sloping beaches. And let’s not forget the beautiful sunsets.

Such an enjoyable stay at the WorldMark Schooner Landing in Newport, Oregon (just west of Corvallis, Oregon).

The Wyndham oceanside pier one bedroom is located across a small street from the ocean. My one bedroom had a nice view from the deck of the ocean.

Review of WorldMark Oceanside studio – Oct 2020

Although the ocean is a five minute walk away, I still had a view of the ocean from my studio timeshare at the WorldMark Oceanside.

It was a perfect placeContinue reading “Review of WorldMark Oceanside studio – Oct 2020”
