Feeling stuck in a Florida timeshare contract that no longer fits your lifestyle or financial goals? You’re not alone. Many timeshare owners find themselves burdened by rising maintenance fees, restrictive usage policies, or a purchase that simply didn’t live up to the sales pitch. At Vacation Ownership Consultants, our goal is to help people exit their timeshare legally and permanently.
Florida’s sunny weather, world-famous attractions, and vibrant vacation spots make it a hotspot for timeshare sales. Companies often lure potential buyers with enticing incentives, making ownership seem like a dream come true. Here are some common tactics used to draw people in:
Many timeshare presentations begin with offers of heavily reduced rates on hotels or resorts in popular Florida destinations. These deals often include luxurious stays for a fraction of the usual price—on the condition that you attend a sales pitch.
Free or discounted tickets to iconic attractions like Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld are frequently used as bait. Families find these offers hard to resist, but the presentations they attend can lead to high-pressure sales tactics.
Florida’s variety of activities—such as helicopter rides, Everglades airboat tours, or glass bottom kayak wildlife experiences—are often bundled into timeshare promotions. These incentives are designed to make the deal feel too good to pass up.
While these perks seem enticing, they often come with long-term obligations that buyers weren’t fully prepared to take on. If you’re looking to exit your timeshare contract, we can help you break free from the burden.
It’s not unusual for people to second-guess themselves after they sign a timeshare contract. The high-pressure sales tactics at many timeshare presentations make it difficult to walk away. Florida provides a cooling-off period of 10 days after the execution of the contract. According to Florida Statute 721.10:
A purchaser has the right to cancel the contract until midnight on the 10th calendar day after the later of:
(a) The execution date of the contract; or
(b) The day on which the purchaser received the last of all documents required to be provided to him or her.
In the event of a timely preclosing cancellation, the developer shall honor the right of any purchaser to cancel the contract which granted the timeshare purchaser rights in and to the plan. Upon such cancellation, the developer shall refund to the purchaser the total amount of all payments made by the purchaser under the contract, reduced by the proportion of any contract benefits the purchaser has actually received under the contract prior to the effective date of the cancellation.

Over the course of the buyer’s ownership experience, Marriott did a poor job of providing transparency regarding the purchase. Although the points program wasn’t “illegal” itself, Marriott should have never charged buyers for something they’d never be able to acquire.
