In recent years, timeshares have shed their reputation for being outdated and inflexible, finding favor with a younger demographic of vacationers. In 2019, millennials accounted for 20% of sales at Wyndham Destinations, the company’s fastest-growing sales demographic. Even the famous (and infamous) Chateau Marmont is selling shares to members who will enjoy exclusive use of the hotel. So why are timeshares having a moment in the spotlight? When it comes to short-term vacation rentals, timeshares have benefits most home-rental platforms and hotels can’t match.

For less than the cost of a hotel room, renting a timeshare directly from the owner gives you a whole lot of space. You often get enough bedrooms for the whole family, a fully equipped kitchen so you can prepare your own meals, and a private outdoor area for sipping sundowners.
While it’s true home rentals normally have plenty of space, they don’t come with the amenities and staff of a timeshare resort. Because you’re staying in residences managed by some of the most trusted names in hospitality – think Marriot, Hilton, the Ritz-Carlton and Wyndham – you’ll have access to all the facilities and little flourishes that really make a vacation a vacation: pools and hot tubs, bars and restaurants, fitness centers, spas, and sports courts.
Nothing signals “vacation time” to your body and brain like waking up and seeing the ocean, a mountain backdrop, or a buzzy cityscape. KOALA timeshares are situated in the world’s top destinations, from the Las Vegas Strip to the glittering Riviera Maya, so you don’t have to drive anywhere unless you want to. Location is an essential consideration when you’re looking for a short-term vacation rental and every moment of vacation time is precious.
When you arrive at a home rental and can’t find the extra towels, or you discover the second bedroom isn’t as comfortable as advertised, it can be tricky to resolve the issue with the property owner. But with timeshares you’re staying with a big hospitality company, which means you’ll have adequate support if you arrive and something doesn’t meet your expectations. Plus, when you rent through KOALA you get the added assurance that every listing has been verified with the resort and via third-party services.
Right now, cleanliness is on everybody’s mind. If you’re staying in a home rental, you have to trust the owner will do a good enough job with store-bought cleaning supplies before your arrival. At a timeshare, staff have access to industrial sanitation products and machines, and must follow a strict protocol for cleaning high-touch surfaces in each unit. When you stay at a KOALA timeshare, you can rest assured that every inch of your room has been properly, thoroughly cleansed.
