Floating Week
Timeshare Resorts
Sometimes units are sold as floating weeks. The ownership will be specific on how many weeks the owner owns and from which weeks the owner may select for the owner’s stay. An example of this may be a floating summer week where the owner may request any week during the summer season generally weeks 22 through 36. In this example there would be competition for prime holidays such as the weeks of Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. The weeks when schools may still be in session would not be so high in demand. Some floating contracts exclude major holidays so they may be sold as fixed weeks.
Floating weeks still confine you to within a specified period of time, say the summer time, but at least afford you the luxury of changing things up if you can’t get a certain week off at work or need to alter plans to get the entire family down.. this is a great alternative, but with convenience comes expense.
