Marriott Ocean Pointe reservations

Thank you for all your input. What a great collaboration this has become. For those who were wondering about the week we needed. I called today, the 1st available day 13 months out check-in with 2 units used similtaneously for the week of Mar. 14-21, 2016 with the option of Fri, Sat, or Sun.,). This is one of several spring break weeks in Texas, not to mention early in the season for the rest of the U.S.

The real problem was that I was on the phone at 0800 waiting 22 minutes, and as I said the conversation began and the line went dead. Having to call back and wait in the que again is what bothered me. As another 21 minutes when by, and the resort availability quickly sinks down, I have done MY part as planned, but the GLITCH in the phone, on my cell with a BOOSTER in my home so that NO CALLS drop, EVER! I will stop complaining with this in mind. If the total I have paid for my time share, over the last 13 years, with maintenance fees, I could have bought a property down the street or at least rented and been just as happy. In fact, I think I will total up the expenses, divide it by the weeks that we have stayed at our home property, and see if I want to continue. I will begin looking for other resorts to go to. It is NOT the only beach in the USA even though our kids have grown up there. Thank you again all for your great input and hope you enjoy your travels. God Bless.

Since you are booking concurrently not consecutively, it wouldn't matter if you had 2 or 100 units. For you to use it like it were 4 units you would have been able to call up 3 weeks ago and booked 4 weeks including the final one you wanted. Alternatively, next year you can try booking each of your 2 units consecutively 13 months and 1 week before you ultimately want it and then at 12 months cancel the 1st week and book it concurrent with the week you already have reserved for the one you want. The only problem with this method is you can't cancel the 1st week until you hit the 12 month mark or you risk losing the 13 month reservation you want.

Have you been locked out of the week you wanted at 12 months?
At 12 months 50% of the inventory for that week should be available. At 13 months there may be 0 availability because weeks can be strung together and may have taken the 50%.
