| I own two weeks at the Westin St. John. I have
set up this site to give you more information about the rental process and
to help make a potential renter more comfortable about the transaction. Fellow Owners: One challenge that I have encountered is swapping weeks within the Westin system. I am trying to figure out a simple way to facilitate this process without compromising privacy or causing confusion. Please email me at Bill@EnjoyStJohn.com with any thoughts or suggestions. I would be willing to list your "Swap Desires" for free as long as they do not conflict with my listings (e.g. wanting to swap week 25 or 26 or desire week 24) |
| Disclaimer: I put this website up on my own. The name of the site cost me $6.95 and since I own two weeks, it is a small investment to help me rent or swap my weeks so I can continue to EnjoyStJohn. Nothing here is guaranteed or meant to substitute for your own due diligence. I will be glad to share what I know about visiting St John. No offer is binding until properly negotiated and agreement signed by both parties. |

The Rental Process |
| You will need to involve an escrow service
once a rental price is negotiated. Legally you do not need an escrow
service but I would use one even if I was renting to my grandmother.
By using an escrow service, both the renter and the owner are well
protected. I have used
Timeshare Title a few
times; both as the owner and renter. Both parties must complete documents. Upon signing, the renter must deposit 50% of the rent with the escrow service. The remaining 50% is usually due 4-6 weeks prior to the check-in date. The owner, upon signing and receipt of the initial 50% deposit, begins the process of re-assigning their week to the renter through the Westin Owners Group. If there are no problems with the use of the rented timeshare, the owner will receive the rent from the escrow service approximately 30 days after the trip. If there are problems (other than sunburn or too much of a good thing), the renter must inform the escrow agent of the problems within the 30 days and the mediation process is started. I have always rented/owned Westin weeks and have not heard any horror stories involving rentals or escrow. Most escrow companies work the same. Cost is from $100 - $250 and is usually borne by the renter. I have used Timeshare Title which charged $100 in past and I would split the cost with the renter. Please feel free to contact me with any questions: Bill@EnjoyStJohn.com.
