Looking for a Sheraton Desert Oasis.

[SDSunshine Member Find all posts View Profile Close SDSunshine]

I am not sure if we can post this but my parents would like to buy an SDO that is a 2BR lockoff. I am looking for one for them that was bought from Starwood rather than the original developer (that Starwood later bought out). If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be so happy.

The trouble is that when I see the postings on Redweek.com and other places, I can't tell if they are from Starwood or not. Most are listed by agents so they don't know either. I am spending a lot of time just trying to sort out the difference and it's driving me nuts.

Any suggestions? Katherine

I have found a very knowledgeable re-seller in AZ - I am going to look around my saved 'stuff' and see if I can find their website.
They will know the difference between the 2 types of units.
From what I have heard (and seen here) Sheraton Broadway Plantation seems to have better II 'juice'
If you are buying to 're-qual' then SDO sold by Starwood is the way to go.

SmartChoice Timeshare resales. Buy or Sell a time share. No upfront fees to sellers.

Sheraton Desert Oasis is a beautiful resort. If I remember correctly, some are designated Red weeks 1-52, and others are specifically designated winter weeks. I'm not sure of the start-finish dates.

If I were buying a Red Week, at this resort, I'd want to make sure I had the winter season, only, not weeks 1-52.

Try Pat's link, and good luck!!

We bought a resale from Smartchoice about 4 years ago and had no complaints. Good luck with your search.

This may be useful as well. There are several 2 bedroom Sheraton Desert Oasis units on the site. One for week 45. Here is the link to that property. Just click on the link below and it should open a new tab in your browser. Good luck!

Best,

Found one on eBay for a great price, thank you! And I picked up a PGA too. COULD NOT RESIST!

Maaan, TSing is addicting. Cannot wait to start playing with my weeks.

would you mind sharing...

what week and price range you paid for the SDO?

Thanks ahead of time.

I am not Kath but SDO Every Year 2BR L/O have been going for around $3,000-3,500.
1BRs are going for considerably less - under 1K for each half.
A friend just purchased a 1BR EY for $610!
If your purpose is to trade these units rather then stay at the property, buying 1BRs makes more sense. Even with 2 closing fees, you are still ahead monetarily.

Congratulations! What size did you get, standard or deluxe?

SDO is tempting

I'm debating between Worldmark - 5000 pts for $3200 + $450 mf
or SDO - $3500 + $720.

I already own at westin but primarily rent them out.

I've heard SDO has good/great trading power
but also heard WM has good/great trading power.

Any suggestions?

Do you reserve a week 1st , then the resort deposits it in II?
