Per the owner: The property was brand new when we purchased it so it's not that old and it's a great location. You can use your points at the Sea Pointe (the Coaster is within walking distance) and Grand Pacific Palisades resorts in Carlsbad. If you get the American Express Hilton Honors card (no annual fee) you can convert unused club points to Honors points to use at Hilton hotels in every state. You can also use club points for resorts in other states.

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.
