Unfortunately the practice of reserving Sunset Harbor 4 day studio CUP reservations and renting them on Ebay has been going on in the Hyatt world for 6 to 7 years. As discussed here on TUG several years ago, the same 4 to 6 Hyatt owners (previously dubbed "The Studio Gang) run a profitable business by renting CUP reservations as the cost of a hotel room in Key West can be $200 to $400 a night depending on the season. With the 4 day studio being so few points to reserve in the Hyatt system, its easy money to rent a CUP reservation for $150 to $300 a night on Ebay.
It's also unfortunate that while Hyatt knows who the offending owners are and they have done absolutely nothing to stop/shut down the improper activity. 3 to 5 years ago, Hyatt stated that while the rules do not permit the renting of CUP reservations, the rules didn't outline a penalty for the activity, so there wasn't anything they could do to stop it. About 2 years ago Hyatt updated The Club rules to address the rental of CUP reservations by including the following language in rule 6.2.
In the event a Club Member rents accommodations reserved through the Club when prohibited from doing so under these Rules and Regulations, the Club has the authority, in the Club’s sole discretion, to suspend or cancel the Guest Certificate issued in connection with the reserved accommodations rented in violation of these Rules and Regulations.
Fast forward to today and Hyatt has still done nothing the stop/shut down the Ebay rental activity of The Studio Gang. So the practice of 4 day studio rentals to the public and thereby eliminating the possibility of a week long stay in a 2 bedroom unit by an Hyatt owner that wants to visit Key West continues.
