What are Timeshares?

Timeshares are essentially vacation properties in which ownership is shared among multiple individuals. They make it possible for several individuals or families to "pitch in" on one vacation home, thereby making it more affordable for all parties involved.

These vacation properties are generally sold in increments, or shares, of one week. Depending on your lifestyle and vacation preferences, you can choose to purchase any number of shares.
