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.

Review of WorldMark Schooner Landing – Nov 2020
Such an enjoyable stay at the WorldMark Schooner Landing in Newport, Oregon (just west of Corvallis, Oregon).

Review of Wyndham Oceanside Pier 1 bdr – Oct 2020
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”

Just a wonderful place toContinue reading “Review of Hilton Grand Vacations at MarBrisa – Oct 2020”
Timeshare Review – WorldMark Phoenix South Mountain – August 2020
I had a wonderful week at the WorldMark Phoenix South Mountain. It is very convenient to the freeway. And it is close to grocery shopping. But is also secluded as the timeshare backs up onto a park with hiking / biking trails. I created a video which is probably the best way to see learnContinue reading “Timeshare Review – WorldMark Phoenix South Mountain – August 2020”
