In the past, resort developers and exchange companies have had exclusive access to people interested in resort accommodations. As a consequence, people have had few timeshare rental alternatives. This lack of competition resulted in inflated rental prices. The biggest advantage of renting from an owner is the discounted vacation price. One can rent from an owner for significantly less than what you would pay through a rental company, especially if you are planning a full week vacation.
Owners can rent for less because commission fees are eliminated.
When renting from an owner, you also have the option of negotiating an alternative rental period and price. Yet another advantage is immediate response about availability. Searching timeshare availability is in your hands rather than in a rental company where you could wait weeks before they get back with you. It is easy to shop for a Massanutten timeshare rental on our web site. You may select either a specifically listed week or request availability otherwise.
