Buying, Renting, and Selling Timeshares

Why is it costing more to rent in redweek vs. Airbnb?

Jan 06, 2025

I paid $2100 including tax & fee via Airbnb (262/nights) for eight nights at the Marriott Grande Vista in Orlando. This is for a 2BR, 2 baths suite. I am looking at redweek, and I would have paid $357/night (not including fee + taxes) for the same accommodation. Trying to understand why redweek is more expensive than AirBnB. TIA.

Timeshare owners (NOT the listing sites they choose to utilize) identify their own rental prices and different advertising platforms have different fee / commission structures. You can usually find very different rental costs for the exact same timeshare product on 4-6 different listing sites that come immediately to my mind. RedWeek is not inherently more expensive than others. On the contrary, my observation has been that the most competitive pricing for directly comparable rentals (or resales) is very often found right here on RedWeek. YMMV.

From my experience, Airbnb is usually much more expensive than RedWeek. But the actual price on both platforms is set by the owner, so either could be less expensive depending on the many factors. Shop around and book the deal you want.
