Joan and Ned Woodward sensed they ‘d enjoy their remain at Timbers Kaua’i, however they had no concept the Hawaii resort would end up being a long-term component in their lives.
The Washington, D.C.-based couple chose to getaway at the 450- acre resort neighborhood last summertime after getting a radiant evaluation from their child, who had actually currently been and raved about the golf course and dining establishment.
The set reserved a three-bedroom suite and took the household for what was expected to be a brief stay.
“By day three, I was talking with the salesperson about buying into it,” Joan, an insurance coverage executive, informs CNBC MakeIt “My husband just said, ‘We live on the east coast. Are you insane?'”
Ned was offered, however, after the couple went to an owners-only supper and he got to rub shoulders with a popular hockey gamer, who she decreased to call. “It was the cherry on the cake, especially since we’re such big hockey fans,” Joan states.
In October 2022, Joan and Ned signed a fractional ownership deed for a 1/6th stake in an oceanfront three-bedroom, three-and-a-half restroom townhouse with 3,100 square feet of interior area for $1.125 million.

The typical everyday rate for visitors at the Kaiholo houses at Timbers start at $2,025, a representative informs CNBC Make It.
Don’t puzzle the Woodward’s setup with a timeshare. In fractional ownership, the purchasers own part of the title, instead of time invested at the home. That implies that if the home increases or down in worth, so does the worth of their 1/6th share.
“We have a deed and a physical asset that we can sell,” Joan states. “We can give it to our kids when we retire, which is very different from a timeshare.”
