I don't think you are an an outlier. There are cases where timeshares probably make sense. I knew someone who had one up by a ski area and it sort of served as a convenient known-quantity forcing function to head up for the weekend on a regular basis.

But this? Spend $600K for 1/8 use of a house that you can't personalize in any way or, as you say, just use when you want to? Oh, and want to go somewhere else on vacation? Well, you already have this paid for property. Better go there.

You're forgetting that in the current market theres a likelihood of a very good RoI for that share.

Various investment vehicles are buying up houses all over the world.

It's a rather novel arrangement at this kind of price range though. I wouldn't place a bet on this being a better investment than other real estate opportunities.
