On the $4900 price for before Christmas ; with your maintenance fee and taxes included you are talking about $110 dollars per night. What you would be doing is locking in your nightly rate for the next ten years (with the exception of any increase of the maintenance fee in that time). You still need airfare and transfers food booze etc. so it comes down to what you would pay otherwise and is the location,room size,room capacity, amenities.....fridge? stove or hotplate? microwave? suitable for your needs? The last I looked the rooms are small with a small fridge in some. I don't know if Chris has upgraded the rooms more since then. In the mid 80's I bought into a one bedroom 2 bath unit on the beach for 25 years. Full kitchen, slept 6 with fold out couch in the living room,on the beach in a good location for $6900 and had no regrets.Do your math and weigh your options .
Well, it does say includes all taxes so I don't think that is an issue and at $70/night X 7nights is $4900.00. Yes, the maintenance fee would add another @$6 US so it would be more correct to say $75 US+ change per night.
I think Seastar Inn is a good alternative to those who go to AI's or places like Pointe Village. I live in Jamaica at about $700 per month so it is out of my price range.
Your transfer comment is interesting. I wonder if that is included in the price to and from the airport? Perhaps someone who knows could comment.

It might be a good deal if you assume that the standard room rates will increase over the next ten years and you like staying at SeaStar every time. One of the things that makes a traditional timeshare attractive is that you get exchange privileges with other resorts in other locations. However, I know many people are loyal Seastar customers and do stay there every trip, sometimes multiple times a year. But for me - with limited vacation time - I may stay at Seastar, but it wouldn't be for a whole week.
Can't say where he got his information but I got this (cut and pasted) from Seastar Inn in an email.

10 years X 70 Dollars per year maint = 700 bucks. 700 + 5900 is 6600 700+4900 = 5600
Those are the #'s Acc posted.
5600 / 10 = 560 560 / 7 = 80 for off season
6600 / 10 = 660 660 / 7 = 94 for high season.
Unless I misread Acc's Post or my math is wrong. That's what you're paying per night. That's not that deep of a discount off of the current pricing.

Hard to mix "Apples and Oranges" to get the price. $70 is one year and $4900 is one year so the total is $4970 for one year (off season).
You can't multiply the maintenance cost for the whole 10 years and add it to a one year weekly rate to determine an accurate price.
As I said, "it works out to @$75US (plus change) per night." $4970 ($4900 + $70) divided by 7 nights or (actually $71.00 per night.

That is what I said. You said...
That is 10 years of maint fees added to 1 year of payment. You can't do that mathematically. At least when I went to business school you couldn't.10 years X 70 Dollars per year maint = 700 bucks. 700 + 5900 is 6600
Maybe that is what is known as "fuzzy math".
