I would never recommend a timeshare to anyone. It sounds good at the time, but after using it a few years, your over it and likely can't sell it, so then you have to try and rent it out to cover your nut. Some years you rent it out, others you eat the annual dues because you didn't go. Want to buy mine for $1? It is next to Heavenly. 3bdrm & 2 bath.

OK, maybe I was kinda joking, however, the one we stayed in was pretty sweet, and cheap. Even got an additional room at a highly discounted rate. Resort was pretty amazing as far as resorts go too. Luckily, we can use it for the next 7 years if we want, but I get your point, we probably won't. However, it can be traded for stays in other locations as well.

Funny thing is, I've stayed slope side at Heavenly in a timeshare too. Maybe it was yours.

Any short term rental folks on here use those WIFI door locks that you can program on your phone and not have to be onsite?

I've spent a fair bit of time researching and some of the reviews are pretty shitty, poor battery life, dropped wifi, easy to break etc.

I'm actually installing a Nest deadbolt in our rental unit today. It has to have internet connection, so that could be the downfall I guess. Been using a cheaper code lock without the ability to change codes remotely and it worked fine but wanted a little extra added security.

Nope but the wifi thermostat is a good addition.

Well that would be something I would probably not sign up for even if they did throw in a free tequila tasting.

In spite of being out of my element I managed to hit 2 mescal tastings on the way out of customs in PV .



I would never recommend a timeshare to anyone but i do recommend being interested enough to get the tequila tasting

Just left PV two days ago, we call it "Running the timeshare gauntlet". Speaking of that airport, it has really grown a ton since the last time I was there 2.5 years ago, but the only restaurant in the terminal is still a Bubba Gumps? WTF?

Duno ^^ I tossed back a couple shots, all the ATM's were empty, wandered over the bridge and found the Sayulita bus
