time-share

Rotating resort property

A time-share is a vacation property arrangement where multiple owners share rights to use the same unit, typically for designated weeks each year.

Time-share resorts are notorious for high-pressure sales tactics: We sat through a three-hour time-share presentation just to get the free cruise.

As a verb, to time-share is to divide use of something among multiple parties—applicable to vacation condos or computing resources.
