We've met owners that were happy with their purchase and the terms. I believe Jenni's parents are owners - I wonder what their overall perception is. Jenni?


We refer to it as "The Folly". But we do so affectionately. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> As previously mentioned, it isn't a money-making venture, but they get to be a part of the club. Owners also get to tweak their unit; my parents have put in a pick-nick table behind the unit for sitting outside but away from the wind when it gets strong off the water. The units all have "owner's" closets where personal items can be left.

If you've got the money to spare and want to have some say and would enjoy being a part of the resort, and can get your head about owning the Caribbean, I'd say go for it. But only after doing your homework and talking directly with other owners.

I guess it's all relative to cost and what one can, and is willing to, pay. But, having your own personal storage space, right in your unit, would be great. As you say, do your homework. Maybe after the Powerball tonight.......... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Yep.....The worth of everything is in how often you can enjoy it.......A Boat....A Vacation Home......A ClubO Unit...........If you can disappear from society to veg out at Club O 1/3 to 1/2 a year or more........starts to be worth every penny..............................to buy it and visit one or two weeks a year........not so much

For us the better value proposition was to just rent a mini-suite for our annual low season week at Club O and instead buy a condo at Avalon Resort in Eastern WV, about 3 hours from home. We paid $105k for our 2 bedroom unit and we have averaged 20 to 25 weekends per year enjoying it whenever we want to for the past eight years.

They do not appreciate in value much, so those that go on the market sell for about the original price...there is a nice one bedroom unit in our building for sale at the moment for just below the $70k original price for example.

I think a Lazy River with random floating "taxi tubes with drink holders" floating around the grounds would be a great way to relax and get you to the pool located by the front desk or back to the beach.

Not quite. All units are owned by the same people. The Chalets and Studios are owned individually, but the mini-suites are owned by a corporation that is owned by the same people that own the other individual units.

Wrong. Like others in this post we inquired about ownership at Club O. I pointed this out as an advantage and was quickly shot down. They are in charge of furnishing the units because all units are in the rental pool at some point and must be furnished somewhat alike.

Well, I guess the question is 'what is somewhat alike'? There definitely ARE some differences between how units are furnished.

There are some basic, required items that all units are to have. But, I agree, there is at least one Studio that is a substantial upgrade, #18 I think. The furniture, ceiling fan, walls and a bigger shower have all been upgraded considerably.

And NOT all the units are in the rental pool. There is a division withing the ownership group.
