We were at BPT this month. We do not own at BPT and exchanged into a 2bedroom via II using a Marriott Grande Vista efficiency. We expected to be charged $14/daily for parking, but were not. Perhaps this is because our MGV week is part of the "Florida Club"..thus indicating perhaps some form of comparable ownership at BPT? Odd given we used II and not MVC Florida Club to exchange in.

Same exact deal for us. We technically belong to Florida Club, but never use it as we find it a hindrance; if we wanted to stay at one of those properties OUTSIDE our ownership season, then we would just trade part of our Grand Chateau property. We are ALWAYS upgraded, so use out Guest units from either place to trade in - and do not pay for parking.

We traded a Grande Vista studio in to a 2BR BPT in 2008 but still had to pay the parking fee.

Sorry if I was not clearer - we OWN at BPT - but do not bother with the Florida Club stuff, since we have never had to utilize it. We do not pay for parking. Of course, I do not think we ever DID exchange our MGC for BPT - we had it in our plans to do so, but then went in other directions. I would have to go thru our vacation trade histories and check . . . All our stuff is pre-June/2010, and enrolled - does not make a difference, I know.

That parking fee is one of the reasons we've never exchanged into that particular resort.

The parking hassle is one of the reasons I always try to stay at the Silver Seas 1000 yards to the North. Same beach and free ground level parking right behind the resort.

PS Not saying Silver Seas is Marriott quality. I just like not having to screw with the garage and paying to park.

I am also bring up an old thread but checking if the parking fee still applies to to II exchanges and if so what the current fee is.

We stayed on a DC point stay last September and paid $14.84 for one night. I don't know if it has gone up since then but I know it still applies to II exchanges unless you are trading a Beach Place ownership back in to MBP.

Thanks. There isn't any option for free or low cost parking anywhere in the area is there?

The same garage, but the lower floors is public parking. I don't know the daily or weekly rate, but it is cheaper than parking on the floors owned by the HOA. Perhaps @pwrshift would know the answer.
