Marriott Vacation Club
Marriott Vacation Club Overview
Marriott Vacation Club® (MVC) is one of the most trusted and recognizable names in the timeshare industry. Established by Marriott International, this flexible vacation ownership program gives members access to a wide portfolio of premium resorts across the U.S. and around the world — from tropical beach destinations to bustling city centers and serene mountain retreats.
Through the resale market, buyers can purchase Marriott Vacation Club ownership for a fraction of the developer price — while still enjoying the comfort, consistency, and prestige the brand is known for. Whether you're looking to buy a Marriott timeshare, rent a villa, or sell your Marriott ownership, the resale marketplace offers flexible options to meet your needs — all with no upfront fees and some of the lowest commission rates in the industry.
How Marriott Vacation Club Works
Through the resale market, Marriott Vacation Club® offers a variety of ownership types that can cater to different vacation lifestyles — not just the points-based system often emphasized by the developer. Buyers can choose from points-based memberships, floating weeks, or fixed week ownerships, each offering unique advantages depending on how you like to travel.
Points-Based Ownership
Ideal for owners who value maximum flexibility, this membership lets you use Vacation Club Points to book stays across the entire Marriott Vacation Club network. You can choose your resort, season, unit type, and length of stay — and even use your points for cruises, guided tours, or hotel stays through Marriott’s larger travel programs (subject to availability and eligibility).
Floating Week Ownerhip
This deeded ownership is tied to a specific home resort and season but allows you to reserve any available week within that time frame and unit type. Owners typically have booking windows of up to 12 or 13 months in advance, offering a balance between flexibility and the benefits of home resort priority.
Fixed Week Ownership
With this traditional form of timeshare, you own a specific week each year at a specific resort — often a high-demand holiday week. This option is ideal for families or travelers who want a guaranteed vacation in the same location and unit type every year without the hassle of booking windows or availability concerns.
When purchasing on the resale market, you can often secure ownership for thousands less than retail or direct pricing, while still enjoying the spacious accommodations and premium resort amenities Marriott is known for. However, it’s important to note that some usage and membership benefits may vary for resale buyers compared to retail purchases, depending on the ownership type and when it was originally purchased.
Exchange & Affiliate Access
Even if you own a fixed or floating week, you’re not locked into one resort. Marriott Vacation Club is affiliated with Interval International (II), a global vacation exchange network that allows owners to deposit their week and exchange into thousands of other properties — including Marriott’s full family of resorts, as well as affiliated brands like Westin Vacation Club, Hyatt Vacation Club, and more.
-
Fixed and floating week owners simply deposit their time with II and can then search availability at resorts across the globe.
-
Points-based owners also have additional exchange opportunities through Marriott’s internal network, including access to other Marriott Vacation Club resorts and affiliated brands like Westin, Sheraton, and Hyatt via the Abound by Marriott Vacations™ program. Club Points can also be converted to Marriott Bonvoy® Points for stays at participating Marriott Hotels worldwide.
