Off-Season Timeshare Vacations
Some of the best timeshare vacations happen when everyone else is at work or school. Off-season and midweek trips mean shorter lines, quieter pools, easier bookings and, often, beautiful weather. Here's how timeshare owners make the most of the off-season.
Off-Season Vacations at a Glance
Fewer crowds at pools, parks, beaches and restaurants
Easier booking for exchanges and short stays
Points often go further during off-peak dates
Great weather in shoulder seasons like spring and fall
Why Owners Love the Off-Season
Owning a timeshare gives you the flexibility to travel when it suits you, not just when it's popular.
More Resort, Fewer People
Off-season weeks feel like having the resort to yourself. Lazy rivers, hot tubs and game rooms are easy to enjoy, and dinner reservations are easy to get.
Better Booking Options
Exchange networks and vacation clubs usually have more availability outside peak weeks, so it's easier to land the resort and unit you want. Many points-based clubs also charge fewer points for off-peak dates.
Midweek Getaways
Even in busy seasons, a midweek check-in can make a big difference.
Sunday through Thursday stays tend to be quieter than weekends, especially at drive-to destinations like Orlando, Las Vegas and the Florida coast. If your club allows shorter stays, a midweek escape is a great way to use part of your points.
Best Off-Season Destinations
These destinations shine outside peak season.
Lake Tahoe and Colorado in late spring and early fall, between ski and summer seasons
Orlando in late January, early May and September
Las Vegas midweek, especially in spring and fall
Cancun and the Caribbean in early December and late spring
San Diego almost any time of year
TN Tip
Shoulder seasons, the weeks just before or after peak season, often offer the best mix of good weather and quiet resorts.
