How much does a week at a Marriott Vacation Club resort cost?

For guests asking what a week at a Marriott Vacation Club resort costs when rented from an owner: on travelscowt.com today the nightly prices start at $129 at Marriott’s SurfWatch on Hilton Head and top out at $1,189 at the Westin St. John, most Marriott resorts start between $200 and $450, and a two-bedroom week in a popular season runs into the low thousands. The price is the owner’s price, with nothing added by us.

I have been pricing these weeks since February 1999, first on Marriott’s side of the desk and since 2012 on the owner’s at Travelscowt, so what follows is how the number on your invoice actually gets made, with the usual disclosure that I am a former Marriott salesman who now rents these villas for a living. The figures below are the prices on our resort pages on the day I wrote this, October 18, 2026, and a few quotes we have sent guests, each with its date; none is a promise for your dates.

What does a night cost, resort by resort?

Every resort page on travelscowt.com carries a “From” price, which is the lowest nightly rate on that resort’s calendar, and the spread between resorts tells you most of it. At the bottom sit the Hilton Head and Palm Desert resorts in their quiet months: Marriott’s SurfWatch from $129, Marriott’s Barony Beach Club from $155, Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas from $165, Marriott’s Grande Ocean from $207. The middle of the list is the big Florida and California resorts: Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas and Marriott’s Ocean Pointe from $331, Marriott’s Crystal Shores from $434, Marriott’s Oceana Palms from $439. The top is Hawaii and the islands: Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club from $664, Marriott’s Kauai Beach Club from $698, Marriott’s Waiohai Beach Club from $739, Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club from $747, and the Westin St. John from $1,189 a night.

A “From” price is the cheapest night of the year at that resort, so the week you have in mind will cost more than seven times that number unless you are looking at the quietest month on the calendar.

What does a whole week cost, then?

Here are real quotes we have sent, with the month we sent them. A two-bedroom at Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas was quoted at $3,500 for a late-March week (December 2024), $4,250 for a week at the end of July (September 2025), and $4,400 to $4,500 for the June weeks (June 2026); the same resort for the first week of March was $2,900 (January 2026). At Marriott’s Ocean Pointe on Singer Island, a two-bedroom oceanside for 8 nights was $4,700 and a three-bedroom oceanfront week $5,700 (May 2026). A two-bedroom at Marriott’s Crystal Shores on Marco Island, poolside on a higher floor, was $6,580 for a mid-March week (August 2026), and a ski week at Marriott’s Summit Watch in Park City was $6,300 (November 2024). The pattern is the one I would expect after 25 years: the quiet weeks at the mainland resorts sit around $3,000, the spring-break and summer weeks at the same resorts a thousand or so more, and a peak week on a beach or a ski hill, in a bigger villa or a better view category, over $6,000.

What moves the price?

Five things, in the order I would weigh them.

1: The season. Marriott sells its weeks in seasons (Platinum for the best weeks, Gold, Silver and Bronze below them), and the owner’s week carries that season’s value. The same two-bedroom at Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas was $2,900 in early March and $4,250 at the end of July, and that gap is the season.

2: The resort. Hawaii, St. John and St. Thomas cost the most to own and the most to rent; Hilton Head and the desert outside their busy months are the bargains of the whole system, and I have stayed at nearly every resort in it.

3: The villa and the view. A three-bedroom costs more than a two-bedroom, and an oceanfront category costs more than an oceanside one, as the Ocean Pointe quotes above show. What you are buying is the category; the resort assigns the villa at check-in and nobody can promise you a floor or a view (I have written about this before and I will keep on writing it).

4: Timing. The owners book their own weeks a year ahead, so the earlier you ask, the more weeks we have and the better the rate. With a few weeks’ notice you get what is left.

5: The night of the week. Outside the peak weeks we book with owners’ points, and weekday nights cost an owner fewer points than weekend nights at most resorts, so a Sunday-to-Thursday stay is usually cheaper, night for night, than one across a weekend.

How does that compare with Marriott’s own rate, or Vrbo?

In my experience the owner’s price is the lowest price for that villa, because the owner is covering a maintenance fee he has already paid. One example from our own mail: in November 2025 Marriott’s site was pricing a one-bedroom at Marriott’s BeachPlace Towers at over $4,300 for a March week, and we quoted a two-bedroom for the same dates at $3,300. The same villa on Vrbo carries our nightly rate plus Vrbo’s service fee and taxes, which on a 12-night September stay at Newport Coast came to about $8,000 against $6,200 direct (January 2026).

What is in the number, and what is not?

The quote is the whole charge from us: no booking fee, no cleaning fee, no tax line and no security deposit, and a check costs nothing (PayPal adds 3.4% on a domestic card). It does not cover the resort’s own front-desk charges, which are parking at some resorts, daily housekeeping if you want it, and the occupancy tax the resorts in Hawaii and the Virgin Islands collect at checkout. Payment is 50% at booking and the balance 120 days before check-in, or the full amount inside that window, and the booking is final once the owner is paid, so buy the travel insurance.

The pros and cons of the price

Pros:

• It is the owner’s price, with nothing added by us, for a two-bedroom villa with a full kitchen.
• The quiet months at Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach and the desert are some of the best value in the Marriott system.
• Ask early and the rate gets better, because there are more weeks to choose from.

Cons:

• Every quote is subject to availability until the owner’s reservation is made, so a June quote can be gone in July.
• The peak weeks are 7 nights, weekend to weekend, at the peak price, with no shorter version.
• Non-refundable once the owner is paid.

Browse the resorts for today’s “From” prices, start with South Carolina if the budget is the first question and Hawaii if it is not, and read how renting works for guests before you send anyone a deposit. Then send your scowt the dates; a quote for your week beats any number in this post.
