We finally stayed in the actual TS we own after owning for 7 years for the first time. Week 32 I think. It covers the Saturday and Sunday of Lobsterfest, then the rest of the week.

It's a silver week that lost value when II changed the value structure of the weeks, but did not increase points for our week. We lost some major flexibility due to the change, but that is OK. We have been trading it internally for 4th of July @ both Windward and Beach house mostly.

We went to Lobsterfest a couple of times before buying and really enjoyed ourselves so we got the week. It sucks the value is gone, but we are happy we have that week.

My only concern about the unit was the large tree that partially blocked the view. We own room 5632 on the 3rd floor. Hurricane Irma removed the tree. The view is spectacular! I really enjoyed just looking into the horizon. I love that side of the island.

Nice view. It’s good you own a week you can enjoy. It is a shame your week was devalued. I never have been to key west during lobsterfest but have heard great things. Hope one day to be able to go at that time.

I noticed it was pretty busy on Saturday. The bar tender at Sloppy Joe''s that I talk to all the time told me that the ring on Saturday was Fantasy Fest numbers. Surprising, but there really isn't a slow season anymore. The busy season is just so ridiculous now. KW is no longer a secret spot.

Great view. How is B1? Are the first floor views in B1 partially obstructed?
