Typically, timeshares require that the guest purchase an interest in the condominium that allows them to use the condominium for a set period of time each year. Access periods are typically selected well in advance. During the remainder of the year, the condominium is used by other individuals and families that have purchased an allotted amount of time to use the residence, hence the term time share.
