What is the rental procedure at Vacation Village at Parkway should an owner want to rent his/her week?

I understand that the resort will rent your unit for you, for a price of course, but what if the owner rents it to someone? What procedures need to be followed when doing it yourself?

Thanks

You shouldn't do that. Renting a week at VVP isn't going to net you much money, especially by the resort. They cannot get much for it. Maybe you should just exchange the week for something else? If you don't like RCI, maybe an exchange company that does have crazy high fees.

Do you know there are some really ugly and rundown units at VVP? I have only stayed in the better units, but I have a good friend who stayed there in January and said it was not at all what he'd seen in the pictures. He was very disappointed.

A agree. They have so many units that they rarely have to dip into the owner pool of rentals. With the possible exceptions of Christmas and New Year you would be lucky to have then rent out a few nights. If on the other hand you are willing to rent to friends who are specifically looking for a pet friendly unit (one of the few things that disguishes VV from most of the other resorts) and are just looking to cover your MF's then you might be able. You need to send the guest authorization in writing sent by fax or email.

Thanks.

Just purchased the unit a few months ago and have yet to visit. I have a deeded week# 52 and can't make it this year so wanted to rent it out.

The reviews for this resort it seems, are all over the place, from very good to very bad.

I'm hoping the deeded week, being when it is, will allow for a higher rent and exceed the maintenance fee.

So your week is guaranteed for week 52? That is a great thing. Are you sure it's fixed week/unit? Most are float.

Yea, it's deeded and fixed.

The reviews, although you can't always believe them, swing in both directions.

Sale prices for that week remain high as do rental prices. I don't know if this resort puts you in your assigned unit or just one comparable, as do others.

Why don't you deposit it into RCI. A week 52 will net between 70-76 TPU's if deposited as two separate one bedroom units if not deposited late. The week 52 is one of the best TPU generators in RCI.
