A floating week Marriott Vacation Club timeshare ownership that is deeded to a specific resort, during a specific season, for a specific unit size with a specific view type (if applicable).
An Affordable Way To Access Marriott Vacation Club
While the newer product offerings from many of the name-brand timeshare developers have all begun to use a points-based reservation system, the weeks-based deeded ownerships that can be purchased with Marriott Vacation Club are not without their merit.
Between the extremely affordable initial purchase prices, low annual maintenance costs, the ability to exchange your week using Interval International, and the overall ease of use and ownership experience, Marriott’s legacy weeks are an excellent way to access Marriott’s most desirable timeshare resorts for much less than competing timeshare products.
Floating Week
Marriott’s legacy weeks are considered to be a deeed floating week, meaning instead of needing to travel during an exact week number each year, owners have the ability to book a range of weeks that are contained within the season they are deeded to. This affords legacy week owners much more flexibility in booking their vacations.
Interval International Exchange
In the event the owner of a legacy week wishes to travel to a different resort or different destination, exchanging their week with Interval International gains the owner access to thousands of alternate timeshare resorts, including all of Marriott’s resort portfolio.

Lock-Off Units
Another way to greatly enhance a legacy week owner’s flexibility would be utilizing a lock-off option to split their unit into two smaller units that can be used completely separately.

Florida Club
If you’re looking into becoming a Marriott Vacation Club owner, and you’re considering purchasing a legacy week in the great state of Florida, you should definitely become familiar with the Florida Club. This unique program allows owners at participating Florida resorts to book their week at one of the other Florida Club resorts up to six months prior to their reservation instead of booking at the resort they own.
This is yet another way to gain flexibility as a Marriott Vacation Club legacy week owner.
