How Vacation Ownership and Timeshares are Helping Family Relationships - More Famililies Buying It

By Lori Wilk


Vacation ownership and timeshare is definitely helping families get together again and in a more comfortable style as the fast-growing vacation lifestyle choice.

Whether you have a small or large family, if you have people you love, you feel obligated to see them and spend time together. This doesn't mean that you don't also need a vacation. Let's face it, we love our family members, most of the time, just kidding, but it can be very stressful visiting family members.

Anyone who says that there's no stress in juggling the commitments of getting together with family members is probably not being honest with themselves. The more people you plan to visit, the more arrangements you need for the logistics including lodging, transportation, and all those meals.

Timeshare and vacation ownership is changing the way families visit and vacation and helping take some of the stress out of these family visits. There's a huge difference between visiting in someone's living room and sleeping on an air mattress and then sharing a bathroom with 7 or 8 other people as compared to staying at a luxury resort with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and amenities such as swimming pools and outdoor barbeque grills.

Now that we own our vacation, we select a resort to stay at which is close enough for our family to come to us and enjoy the quality time together. Most of the time, we are flying into their city and have already spent money to get within an hour of their home location and we've taken time off of jobs to be with them. It's great to have the family come to our resort and then to have them leave and go back to their own homes so we can have a combination visit and vacation.

Our adult children are also coming to our city more and staying at the ownership resorts instead of our living room. They tell us they like features such as shuttle service to drop them off in town so they can have some recreational activities and shop and make their time fun and our family-time together less stressful.

In fact, the happier the family members are with the vacation ownership and timeshare, the more they are looking forward to family get togethers and this is changing our family for the better. Vacation ownership could just might be best thing that ever happened to yours.
