FRACTIONALS & PRIVATE RESIDENCE CLUBS

A Fast-Growing Form of Vacation Ownership

Is the burden of costly repairs and upkeep keeping you from owning a vacation home in your favorite location?

Do you love the amenities of a luxury resortl but dislike living out of your suitcase?
If you answered "yes," to either of these questions, you're not alone. A new kind of vacation home ownership, called "fractional ownership," is becoming increasingly popular with busy professionals looking to maximize their time spent on vacation.

Fractional Ownership at Sueño del Mar

Fractional ownership of vacation homes, also called private residence clubs, is one of the new concepts in home ownership that allows you to enjoy two months of home ownership privileges at a top-of-the-line, luxury resort like Sueño del Mar at a fraction of the cost of whole ownership.

Fractional Ownership at Sueño del Mar offers you the opportunityto purchase membership in a sea-side luxury villa that gives you a certain number of weeks per year at the property and use of all amenities.

Because you're essentially only paying for the time you use, as opposed to paying for all the time with whole ownership, fractionals can be a much more cost-effective way to vacation in the Belize on one of the most beautiful islands, Ambergris Caye.

This type of real estate ownership is ideal if you want the benefits of owning an impressive second home complete with personalized amenities and located in a very exclusive community but can't justify the investment because of limited use.

Prices at Sueño del Mar range widely from $40,000 to more than $400,000, depending on the location of the villa, number of months and number of bedrooms.

Exceptional Amenities

Fractionals and private residence clubs typically offer extensive amenities, ranging from a lavish clubhouse and spa to five-star hotel services that would not be available with wholly-owned vacation homes or timeshares.

Imagine this: You are going on vacation and you call ahead to the staff at your fractional or private residence club. The staff stocks your kitchen with groceries. They place candles and pictures of family members around your residence, and mount your favorite paintings that you've had in storage.
When you get there, the staff unpacks and dry-cleans your clothing and makes your dinner reservations. Everything you want, basically anything you can think of, is taken care of so that your vacation is everything you dreamed.

Personal service is where fractional properties and private residence clubs clearly outshine traditional second-home ownership. For most people today, time is their most valuable commodity. Who wants to spend it cleaning, unpacking, grocery shopping, performing maintenance and general upkeep?

Get the picture? Fractionals and private residence clubs are NOT your ordinary second home.
