Is Sheraton Vacation Club a Timeshare?
Yes. Sheraton Vacation Club is a timeshare — vacation ownership at Sheraton-branded villa resorts. Marriott’s own Sheraton Vacation Club site markets “timeshare ownership” and says the club is part of The Marriott Vacation Clubs family, with access to Marriott Vacation Club and Westin Vacation Club through Abound. The underlying program is Vistana Signature Network (formerly Starwood Vacation Ownership), acquired by Marriott Vacations Worldwide in 2018. Owners use StarOptions, which rent for $0.025–$0.055 each on the secondary market we publish. A typical 80,000-StarOption allocation is about $2,000–$4,400/year in rental value — a range, not a payout. It is not the same as Marriott Vacation Club Destination Points. Timeshare Rental Pros does not purchase Vistana / Sheraton / Westin StarOptions.
Yes — and Marriott says so
Sheraton Vacation Club is not a hotel loyalty program and it is not a week you rent like a regular Sheraton room. It is vacation ownership. The official site (sheratonvacationclub.marriott.com) titles its ownership page “Connect with Timeshare Ownership” and states that the club is part of The Marriott Vacation Clubs portfolio, with exchange access to Marriott Vacation Club and Westin Vacation Club through Abound by Marriott Vacations.
The operating company behind those Sheraton (and Westin) villas is Vistana Signature Network — formerly Starwood Vacation Ownership — acquired by Marriott Vacations Worldwide in 2018. That is the same Vistana program on our Vistana brand page. This answer does not replace that page.
StarOptions, not Destination Points
Sheraton Vacation Club owners book with StarOptions, Vistana's points-equivalent currency. Marriott Vacation Club owners book with Vacation Club Points. Abound lets qualifying owners move between the branded portfolios; it does not make the two currencies the same. If someone sold you “Sheraton points” at a sales preview, they almost certainly meant StarOptions at a Vistana Sheraton resort — not Marriott Bonvoy hotel points, and not MVC Destination Points.
Published rental value on this site: $0.025–$0.055 per StarOption. A typical 80,000-StarOption year is about $2,000–$4,400. Those numbers come from our Vistana brand file — the same figures as what Vistana points are worth. We are not inventing a Sheraton-only rate or a different typical allocation.
How owners get cash (and what TRP will not buy)
Timeshare Rental Pros, the cash-buyer service this site partners with, does not purchase Vistana / Sheraton / Westin StarOptions. For those contracts the documented cash-out path is self-rent: book a peak week (Hawaii and Caribbean Westin/Sheraton inventory is where our Vistana notes put the high end of the range) and list the reservation, or sell the deed on the resale market. Resale via licensed brokers typically recovers 30–50% of original purchase price on standard Vistana contracts; right of first refusal applies.
If you also own a program TRP does buy — Club Wyndham, Marriott Vacation Club, Hilton, Diamond, WorldMark, Bluegreen, Westgate — the quote form below is the same TRP path used on our other answers. A Sheraton-only owner should not expect a StarOptions purchase offer from that form.
Get a cash offer on points TRP actually buys
Timeshare Rental Pros pays cash up front for unused points in the programs they support — no owner fee, offer usually within 24 hours. They do not buy Vistana / Sheraton StarOptions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sheraton Vacation Club a timeshare?
Yes. Sheraton Vacation Club is vacation ownership — a timeshare — at Sheraton-branded resorts in the Vistana Signature Network (formerly Starwood Vacation Ownership). Marriott’s Sheraton Vacation Club ownership page uses the phrase “timeshare ownership” and places the club in The Marriott Vacation Clubs portfolio. Vistana was acquired by Marriott Vacations Worldwide in 2018. It is not Marriott Vacation Club Destination Points.
Is Sheraton Vacation Club the same as Marriott Vacation Club?
No. Both sit under Marriott Vacations Worldwide, and Abound lets owners exchange across Marriott Vacation Club, Sheraton Vacation Club, and Westin Vacation Club. The currencies stay different: Vistana / Sheraton / Westin use StarOptions; Marriott Vacation Club uses Vacation Club Points. Integration is ongoing; conversion economics vary by contract.
What are Sheraton Vacation Club points worth?
Sheraton (and Westin) timeshare points are Vistana StarOptions. Secondary-market rental value on this site is $0.025–$0.055 per StarOption. A typical 80,000-StarOption allocation rents for about $2,000–$4,400 per year. That is a range, not a guaranteed payout. We do not invent a different Sheraton-only rate.
Does Timeshare Rental Pros buy Sheraton Vacation Club points?
No. Timeshare Rental Pros does not currently purchase Vistana, Sheraton, or Westin StarOptions. The cash-out path for those points is self-rent (book a week, list on Airbnb/Vrbo or a timeshare marketplace) or resale of the deed. The quote form on this site is still the TRP path for programs they do buy.
Which resorts are Sheraton Vacation Club?
Marriott’s Sheraton Vacation Club site lists Sheraton-branded villa resorts including Sheraton Vistana Resort and Sheraton Vistana Villages (Orlando), Sheraton Broadway Resort (Myrtle Beach), Sheraton Desert Oasis (Scottsdale), Sheraton Kaua‘i Resort Villas, Sheraton Mountain Vista / Lakeside Terrace Villas, Sheraton PGA Vacation Resort, and Sheraton Steamboat Resort Villas. Those are Vistana / MVW timeshare resorts, not ordinary Sheraton hotel stays.
