(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, September 14, 2017 ) The word "timeshare" has evolved over the years to include a wide variety of vacation products and plans. It is also known as "vacation ownership" "holiday ownership" and "interval ownership”. A timeshare is a property with a particular form of ownership or use rights. These properties are typically resort condominium units, in which multiple parties hold rights to use the property, and each individual is allotted a period of time (typically one week and almost always the same time every year) in which they may use the property.

These larger units can usually accommodate large families comfortably. Units normally include fully equipped kitchens with a dining area, dishwasher, televisions, DVD players, etc.
