We are interested in renting a timeshare at the "Savoy on South Beach" during October. How can I rent a week directly from a timeshare owner?? thanks

Try the Timeshare Owners Group BBS @ www.tug2.net, under renting, buying & someone will guide you in the right direction.

Don't know how to reach owners, but we stayed there a year ago and loved it. Had the room on the SE corner, third floor. Perfect. Have a great time!

Why don't you try calling the Savoy first? They usually have the timeshare units for rent too.

We visited South Beach and walked the entire main street until we found the Savoy at the end of the beach. Walked in, they had availability, and we got it at a very reasonable price. Our room was so interesting - definitely not "cookie cutter". It looked like a Persian harem room, complete with a canopy over the bed. The hotel is filled with "Klimt" style art and many realistic reproductions of famous art works. It was the only hotel I could see with it's own private beach and a gorgeous pool. We couldn't believe our luck and congratulated ourselves on our persistance.
