Each share typically entitles the owner to 5 weeks of vacation time, rotating within the four seasons, with a double week that also rotates annually. Owners also share responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the property. Costs for improvements, repairs, or replacements are shared among the owners, usually through maintenance fees or assessments handled by a management company.
