Editing Timeshare (section)

==Types and sizes of accommodations==
Timeshare properties tend to be [[apartment]] style accommodations ranging in size from studio units (with room for two), to three and four bedroom units. These larger units can usually accommodate large families comfortably. Units normally include fully equipped [[kitchen]]s with a dining area, [[dishwasher]], [[television]]s, [[DVD player]]s, etc. It is not uncommon to have [[Washing machine|washers]] and [[Clothes dryer|dryers]] in the unit or accessible on the resort property. The kitchen area and amenities will reflect the size of the particular unit in question.

Units are usually listed by how many the unit will sleep and how many the unit will sleep privately. Traditionally, but not exclusively:
* Sleeps 2/2 would normally be a one bedroom or studio
* Sleeps 6/4 would normally be a two bedroom with a sleeper sofa
Timeshares are sold worldwide, and every venue has its own unique descriptions.

Sleep privately usually refers to the number of guests who will not have to walk through another guest's sleeping area to use a [[Bathroom|restroom]]. Timeshare resorts tend to be strict on the number of guests permitted per unit.

Unit size affects the cost and demand at any given resort. The same does not hold true comparing resorts in different locations. A one-bedroom unit in a desirable location may still be more expensive and in higher demand than a two-bedroom accommodation in a resort with less demand. An example of this may be a one-bedroom at a desirable [[Seaside resort|beach resort]] compared to a two-bedroom unit at a resort located inland from the same beach.
