Timeshare Information

Everyone is intrigued with the way light and color plays on glass. A person who can turn all of that into art is a creative genius. Rent a timeshare in the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay area in Florida, and give yourself the treat of seeing the extraordinary Chihuly Collection of blown glass art at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg.

A permanent collection of world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly’s unique artwork is housed now in a magnificent 10,000 square foot setting designed by award-winning architect Albert Alfonso. The Collection is located on the city’s waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg on Beach Drive, in the heart of the most vibrant tourist area in St. Petersburg.

This presentation is unique as it is the first installation of Chihuly art in a building designed specifically for that purpose, so that the art and architecture work together to create a unique visitor experience of Chihuly’s art. The exhibition includes Chihuly’s spectacular large-scale installations, such as "Ruby Red Icicle Chandelier" created specifically for the collection.

A pioneer of the studio glass movement, Chihuly studied glass in Venice on a Fulbright Fellowship, and is credited with transforming the methods of creating glass art. You can enrich your experience further by visiting the Morean Arts Center Glass Studio & Hot Shop where you can watch glassblowers create one-of-a-kind pieces, have your own personal glass blowing experience, and shop for unique glass art created by local and regional artists.

St. Petersburg itself has long been known as a top Florida vacation destination. The city is located on a peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It is connected to mainland Florida and Tampa by causeways and bridges across Tampa Bay.

While in St. Petersburg the kids will enjoy Great Explorations - The Children's Museum, an interactive museum featuring a Children's Village, water exhibits, and other hands-on fun with science, music and art.

Lots of fun activities on the water are waiting for you in St. Petersburg, as well, including learning to sail in the calm waters of Tampa Bay. Or you can hang out on the many beautiful white sand beaches that are kissed by turquoise Gulf waters, or go fishing - the 244-mile long shore is abundant with great fishing haunts.

With an average of some 360 days of sunshine each year, St. Petersburg is nicknamed "The Sunshine City" - perfect for a Florida timeshare rental vacation this winter!

When planning your next vacation there are all kinds of beach destinations in Florida, but now let's try something a little different - how about Venice? Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is known as the "Venice of America" for its amazing intricate canal system. Of course, you can still get your golden sands and splashing waves fix renting a budget timeshare at a resort right on the beach, or just a couple of blocks from it.

Fort Lauderdale is situated on the "Gold Coast" of Florida, just 23 miles north of Miami. Being one of the major tourist destinations of the Sunshine State, over 12 million visitors a year enjoy all that Fort Lauderdale has to offer including the expansive waterway system, which determines much of its activities and events. For example, the area includes a whopping 42,000 resident yachts, and over 100 boatyards and marinas. An easy and fun way to get around is via the water taxi system. At night the city sparkles from the lights of the many moored boats along the waterways.

Although you may want to avoid Spring Break time when bringing younger family members, Fort Lauderdale is a wonderful family vacation destination to rent a timeshare.

Just a half hour drive brings you to Sawgrass Mills where the kids will enjoy the exciting trend-setting Wannado City®, America's first indoor role-playing theme park for kids. And it's easy to find many excursions from Fort Lauderdale into the Everglades, as well as tours of Butterfly World and Flamingo Gardens.

You can rent a timeshare at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort just a block from the beach. Every room here has a beautiful water view since half of the resort faces the intercoastal waterways and the other half faces the ocean.

The Marriott BeachPlace Towers is another resort for great timeshare rentals in Fort Lauderdale. On site the entire family will enjoy the Hot Dog lunches, Pizza parties, and Ice Cream socials.
