For SW FL, craigslist has more inventory than the exchange companies, at prices at or below timesharing. I could post dozens, but they are like this, Bonita Resort for $500/week:


Beautiful waterfront timeshare

If I could trade into it, like we use to, it would cost $900.

I did the same thing for Sarasota and got a buncha choices, places we useta get but can't get any more.

I rented 2 weeks back to back in Bonita resort a few years ago from someone on ebay. I only paid $100 for the 1st week and $200 for the second week.
Haven't been able to find that deal again but that was probably 5 years ago.
I think I just got lucky dealing with an inexperienced ebay seller.

I don't count on always finding those deals but I still look just in case someone else is trying to learn how to "sell" on ebay.

Like I said, there are more on craigslist than RCI.

Points is obviously what you're thinking and a good choice for you. You should check the Wyndham forum here if that's what you are considering.

My best advice, after seeing your great picture with the kids.......vacation as often as you can with them.....they will remember each vacation ( I ask my son what resorts we have gone to when I forget, he is 20), they grow up quick and life is short and has too many twists and turns so if you can squeeze in vacations while the kiddies are young, do it
