I would just like to say on behalf of us owners that the idea that we stay in our villas and it costs us less than staying at someone elses sounds all well and good in theory. However, in practice, alot of us have children - children of school age, so that means we too can only travel at peak season times. We also spend most of the holiday in that fun shop known to I think I can safely say ALL the children of owners on this forum as "oh no not there" - the home depot. It is there that one can safely while away several hours, spends hundreds of dollars and appear to have very little to show for it! And only a man can spend soooooo much time looking for a piece of pipe, bolts or something else equally boring!
We also spend our time replacing linen and towels that have gone walkies or have now passed their sell by date, adding a few improvements, buying plants for the garden, planting them, decorating. In between this there are enquiries to be answered and if the children are really lucky, they might get the occasional visit to a theme park!
Our villa in Florida gets more attention and money spent on it than the one we live in most of the time!!
But if you think you can only visit once a year, believe me this is not enough, and I would think long and hard about buying.
