Want to stay at a Deluxe resort? Interested in renting DVC points?
We have to reschedule our planned holiday in Easter 2005 to Easter 2006 as we have a new baby on the way
HOWEVER we have 389 DVC points that need to be used up before the end of November '05. So... we would like to rent our DVC points for £5.34 per point ($10.00).
As an indication of possible savings, I will set out the rack rates (without the tax) from the internet for a studio room sleeping up to four people at three resorts for the month of October. Alongside each resort I have set out the points required for a week in a studio for the same month and next to that the cost in sterling of the required number of points.
Every studio comes equipped with a sink, fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee-maker, paper plates and plastic silverware, Fairy liquid, sponge for washing (paper!) dishes (LOL), kitchen roll, iron and board, vacuum cleaner and baby play pen/cot. I would have look into that last item more thoroughly if anyone was interested. The bathroom has an over-the-bath shower. Also there is bath soap, towels, shampoo and coffee. There is one large (5ft I think) bed and one double sofa-bed, a small table and two chairs, remote control TV/video player and aircon. Each balcony has a tiny white plastic coffee table and two white plastic garden chairs.
As there are "Home away from Home" resorts, there is no maid service, although there is a "trash and towel" service half way through a week and I think the bed linen is changed.
There are larger accommodations available but obviously these cost more.
Old Key West ---- $254 per night= 82 points = £438 per week.
Beach Club Villas - $289 per night = 106 points = £566 per week.
Board Walk Villas - $289 = 87 points (Standard View) = £465 per week.
These prices are for Studios - with 389 points you could get 1 or 2 bedrooms (sleeps 8).
If anyone is interested in renting points, I would try to make the reservation they wanted in their name, send them the paper reservation confirmation, and, of course, I would like to receive a cheque in payment!
Please send me a PM if I can help.
