This company Mize about the product and what it will achieve to get you to buy and then after making several attempts to get a reservation they offer a package at an additional cost in order to find availability only to bring you back on a second presentation and upgrade you by fraudulently lying to you that they are going to rent your ownership out and send you a certified check by registered mail for the sum of three to $6000 Per year for the next 8 to 10 years there is no rental it is a lie. They state that they do this with only owners in row one or the last three buildings in row three. Another lie. This is pitch by their manager Larry Ainsworth to every existing owner yet he says you're one of 22 and it's very limited and it's approved by the real estate commission another lie. Hey states they went before the real estate board to get their approval another lie. And he also states that they put certain stipulations on them in order to achieve this program another lie. What makes matters worse is the general manager Frank Black a tea hey states they went before the real estate board to get their approval another lie. And he also states that they put certain stipulations on them in order to achieve this program another lie. What makes matters worse is the general manager Frank Blackateer and the owner Kevin Knasel are on board with this. You will not receive any money from this scam read this before purchasing and watch Mr. Ainsworth come in and do his dance with the same pitch he sold thousands if you used to own it spinnaker resorts that's where Ainsworth is from and scammed many people with that or a deferred usage pitch stating they would Pay them thousands for not using their points these people are crooks and do not sell vacations or travel time they only scam people with false rental investments most people that have been scammed are relying on these checks to pay their bills or reimburse them selves the expense and are not going to receive anything. They are also acting as if they're giving them money upfront for a year or so for taking some of their points to rent out yet they're just adding that to the price and taking it back off they're not paying anything upfront they're also doing the same with people trading in existing timeshares making them assume they're paying them thousands for them if you go to an in-house presentation do not purchase any more keep your existing one that you were unable to use and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General's office to get your money back from the original purchase They will try to smooth you over if you don't upgrade but you cannot do reliable vacations through RCI for 10, 000 points or less you do not have the benefits they stated at the original presentation and you most likely on your program every two or three years instead of annually like they stated they just give you One third of your points per year which is about 2 1/2 days a year .

I've been an owner since 2015. I was told the EXACT same thing in order to get more money from me! They "needed" my first row ADL condo so they were going to "give" me a rental check each year if I bought "UP" to the next row. What a load of crap! The last time I was there 2 years ago, another couple was there also trying to find out where their rental check was! The answer was, "It was discontinued". How can they get away with this? Class Action? Sign me up!

I called and checked after a few years and they said they discontinued the rentals. We were sold so much on that option.

We have also fallen victims of their rental scam. Is there a class action lawsuit against Branson Nantucket. Where do we join. They need to be stopped from stealing peoples hard earned money with their lies and deceitful practices.
