We loved the fact that it was above a wilderness desert area that will never be built on, giving us a clear view to the pacific ocean and Pacifica off in the distance. We also love that it is short and nearly level walk all the way the transportation center, the Market, and the whole package of amenities at Sunset Beach. We have had our son’s wedding here and have dozens of memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. It is with sadness that we need to pass the Monte Cristo to another owner at this time in our lives. The few years we were not able to spend March in the vials, we had wonderful results renting, always more than covering our annual maintenance expense.*Closing costs and transfer fees are to be paid by the buyer**Seller to pay maintenance fees for first year of usage* (2025)

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
