Interval Ownership, Local Real Estate
 It’s well-established that American families are the hardest working in the world. We put in more hours-per-week than anyone else, often forfeiting weekends & holidays to meet our demanding deadlines & quotas. When we are afforded a little precious time off, it is so important to us that we are able to spend it in comfort with our loved ones. A vacation should be an escape from the mundane, a temporary upgrade to first-class, a license granted to live life on our own terms.
Beach Realty is here to help you & your family do all of that, in style. With Interval Ownership, you can own a fee-simple, deeded title to a share of a luxury vacation home, for less than it would cost to rent that same luxury home for two weeks. Because this is an actual investment in real property (and not a Timeshare), your rights to your share can be treated as such. This means you are able to rent the property when not in use, use it as collateral, sell it or even will it to future generations. Your share entitles you to 4 exclusive weeks of use, rotated annually throughout the four seasons.
If you’re curious as to what kind of luxury we’re offering, take a peek at these properties. These homes are fully-furnished and ready for you to walk in & enjoy. The home, as well as the property itself, is maintained by our company. This includes all repairs, general maintenance & grounds upkeep. Of course we are happy to help facilitate the rental of your share(s) should you choose to do so. This is an opportunity to own a piece of a significant asset, one that can provide cash flow as well as gain equity. It becomes clear why this option is so much more attractive than Timeshare.
Interval Ownership is the way to give your family the vacation they deserve, and Beach Realty is eager to help you finance this option. Our family thrives on helping others live their dream on the beach, and we pride ourselves on delivering concierge service to give folks a taste of luxury on their vacation. Find out more about this incredible opportunity to own a piece of the beach, and start making memories to last a lifetime ~ contact us today.
