Spring Break at the beach will likely take a very early request and a little patience. Good luck.

Relatively easy trade through RCI - although any Holiday week will be tougher. As usual II won't have anywhere near the inventory/availability RCI would have.

I have been routinely checking sightings for a while, and rarely come across Resort on Cocoa Beach. As this resort is dual-affiliated with II and RCI, I believe that more deposits go with RCI. Also, now that VRI seems to have an internal exchange, some exchanges may never make it to II or RCI.

I would still keep the request out there, though. It looks like a fun resort.:D

I was watching for that one last year and it seemed like they didn't deposit their weeks into II until Dec or Jan. However, I do know that a lot of weeks trade through the internal VRI exchange. We own a VRI resort and I don't see any availability for that week on the VRI exchange either yet.

How about a direct exchange with a Tugger. I know there are several Resort on Cocoa Beach owners here--including myself. Marriot Aruba would be very tempting for some. Just a thought--Dawn

One more thing

Oh, forgot to add before. GREAT resort - great place to trade into. Not a real active area but a great beach side, laid back stay guaranteed.

while that may have been an option before, the week is already now owned by II and i assume exchanged.. this will teach me to only do REQUEST FIRST option.then i would still retain use of my week if II couldn't make the trade.oh well, LIVE AND LEARN
