How Timeshare Rentals Can Save You Money on Honeymoon Travel

Are you dreaming of taking a vacation? You’re not alone! In a recent Destination Analysis study, 64% of Americans reported that they desperately need a break. And while 80% of those surveyed know that taking a vacation is essential to their overall health and well-being, ¾ of Americans leave vacation days on the table, unused.

So when 90% of Americans say that it’s important to use their paid time off to travel, what’s preventing them from doing so? If you guessed money, you’re correct. According to a Bankrate survey, 70% of U.S. adults are changing their summer vacation plans due to increasing prices across the board, and almost half are canceling plans because they flat out can’t afford them. 

The Top Timeshare Rental Website That Can Save You $1,000 or More on Resort Bookings

If you’re one of those people, before you write off a vacation completely, look at the hotel deals available with timeshare rentals. You can save significant money when renting a resort room from a timeshare owner. As these individuals set their own rental price, independent of the standard rack room rates of hotels and popular travel booking sites, you can save 50% or more on vacation accommodations at the exact same resorts.

To illustrate these deals, we’re sharing examples of where you can save $1,000, $2,000, or even $3,000 by booking the same resort rooms on a trusted timeshare rental website vs. the hotel directly or even on Expedia or Priceline.

But Are Timeshare Rentals Nice?

No one wants to vacation in a run-down hotel, so it’s a common question that travelers ask about timeshare rentals.  And the answer a large majority of the time is yes, timeshare resorts are nice.  If you’ve stayed in a Disney, Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Westin, Sheraton, or Wyndham hotel and your room was a condo unit, then you’ve stayed in a timeshare and didn’t even know it. 

What are Timeshares like? Today, they are expansive, upscale resorts from trusted, global brands.  They combine the space and home-like conveniences of an Airbnb with the prime location, resort amenities, and cleanliness standards of worldwide hotel chains. It’s the best of both worlds in one!

And, no, timeshare presentations are not required with timeshare rentals. As both a timeshare owner and a renter of timeshares, I can confirm this is true.

Can Timeshare Rentals on This Site Really Save Me That Much Money?

Yes! But don’t just take my word for it! For over 20 years, people have booked timeshare rentals for their vacations and saved lots of money on hotel accommodations.

“With the current state of the economy and my love for staying at nice resorts, your website beats the rising fees of {ownership} maintenance, the cost of booking the same resort directly with AAA, etc. Your website is a true gem. Working in the travel industry as a researcher, I have found your website to be better than Expedia,” said Daniel O. on Redweek’s Testimonials page.

Twenty years Randy Conrads loved vacationing in upscale timeshare resorts but didn’t want the long-term commitment of owning a timeshare, so he started Redweek.com. Now an A+ Better Business Bureau rated company with an audience of almost 3 million people listing and booking timeshare rentals. 

Another testimonial on Redweek talked about a Mexico resort deal.  “My wife used RedWeek for the third time and got a smoking deal in Cabo –  $75/night instead of $495/night same room, the same date on Expedia,” said Kurt W. 

In May of 2022, their website had a similar listing at Hacienda Del Mar Resort resort in Cabo for $86 a night or $602 for a week’s rental. Comparing the exact dates for the same studio unit, you’d save $1,190 over a week, as the Expedia price was $256 a night or $1,792 for the week. 

Timeshare rentals can be a great way to save money on travel, especially for couples looking to honeymoon on a budget. By renting out someone’s unused timeshare week, you can often get luxurious accommodations for a fraction of the price. Plus, many timeshare resorts offer amenities like pools, spas, and restaurants that can make your honeymoon even more special.
