Choosing the Perfect View Type for Your Next Timeshare Rental
When booking a vacation, the view from your room can be a game-changer. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee with mountains in the distance or sunset views over the ocean from your balcony. The right view can turn a good vacation into a great one, though prime views will come with a higher price tag.
This guide will explore different timeshare view options, explaining why certain views can be well worth the extra expense, and which resorts offer the best value when upgrading your view type. Whether you’re looking for serenity or adventure, the right view can significantly enhance your stay. Let’s find the perfect view for your next getaway!
The Importance of Choosing Your View Type in a Timeshare Rental
Ocean View
Mountain View
City View
One key thing to think about when picking a timeshare rental is the view. That’s because the right view can make all the difference in your vacation. Mountain views, for example, at places like Marriott’s MountainSide or The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas are great for peaceful scenery and quick access to winter sports. Beachfront and ocean views at Marriott’s Aruba Surf Club and The Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas offer the perfect backdrop for a beach vacation. Garden and golf course views at Marriott’s Barony Beach Club or Marriott’s Grande Vista offer beautifully landscaped settings just footsteps away from the course.
Assignment of Units at Check-In
When you check in at a timeshare resort, the specific unit you’ll stay in is typically assigned at that time. This means the exact unit number and its location within the resort is not guaranteed until assigned at check-in. However, if you’ve chosen a specific view category, like oceanfront, garden view, or mountainside, you can rest assured that you’ll get the scenery you expected.

How to Choose the Right View Type for Your Vacation
When picking a view for your timeshare rental, think about what you really want from your vacation. A beachfront view might be just the ticket for a romantic escape, while a theme park view could be a hit for a fun-filled family adventure.
Matching Views with Your Vacation Vibe
Choose a view that complements the vibe of your trip. If you’re looking to unwind, garden or waterfront views can set a peaceful mood. If you’re after some excitement, consider mountain or city views to spice up your stay.
Considering the Cost
Remember, the better the view, the higher the cost. Rentals with standout views can be 10-30% pricier than those with more standard scenes. Think about whether the view is worth the extra cash for the added enjoyment it may bring to your getaway.
