English term

stay 30 days reserved and 60 days walk in per year

English Marketing Real Estate
I read a sentence in a property description: "Owners/guests have available to stay 30 days reserved and 60 days walk in per year".

The property is a condo for sale, which has been let by the owner to the hotel within the same building. After an investor buys the condo, the hotel will keep the lease contract going but allows the investor to use/occupy the condo for some days every year.

What does "stay 30 days reserved and 60 days walk in per year" exactly mean here (especially the phrase "walk in" in the sentence)?

Thank you for your help!

Best to ask client Judging from "Owners/guests have available to stay", this is translated from another language and not translated particularly well. Therefore, the place to find the intended meaning is the text in the original language.
Astrid_H Jan 28, 2015:
Probably more context necessary I had assumed it was only one unit. If as Tony thinks that there are more than one room/apartment for the investor, it makes sense the way he and writeaway explain it.
Maybe either ask the client or see from the context.
writeaway Jan 28, 2015:
Sounds like a kind of time-share The owner can stay 60 days a year on a walk-in basis, no need to reserve in advance and 30 days a year where advance reservation is required. Imo it concerns the condo they have purchased (on this time-share like basis).
Tony M Jan 28, 2015:
reserved / walk-in My understanding would be that 'reserved' means you have to book in advance (say for a longer stay), whereas 'walk-in' usually means you can just turn up (say for an odd night here and there) — though I imagine in the latter case you won't necessarily get your own specific apartment, since there would be no way of guaranteeing that particular one would be available without advanced notice!
Astrid_H Jan 28, 2015:
My guess... reserved: certain days are firmly reserved for the investor, determined in advance
walk in: if available and not occupied/reserved by someone else on the walk in days, the investor can stay but only has second priority.

stay a 30 day per year period by reserving it in advance and another 60 days here and there...

I think writeaway puts it quite clearly in disc box.
It's a time share where the "owner" can spend a 30-day period in their "own" place but must pre-book this period.
The other 60 days are "walk in" i.e no need to book in advance but, as Tony has pointed out, this would probably be off-season and they might not get their "own" apartment on those occasions. The other thing about these 60 days would be that they would probably be individual days or a couple of days together but not long satys. So not 2 x30 for example but more likely 30 x 2 or 60 x 1 periods

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you for the answer, though this is not a time-share property, instead it's a leaseback one. In the discussion box Tony really shed a light on it. 30 days by advance reservation, in this case the owner can certainly occupy the property at the reserved time; 60 days walk-in, in which case the owner may not surely occupy the property as the property might have already been occupied by the hotel's own guest, and the owner can use the property only when it has not been occupied by any other guest. Thank you all for your contributions to this question."

available without need for booking

Walk in means that the property is available without a need for booking.

This could be during the off-season. Whereas during peak season, it needs to be reserved.

The investor can stay for 30 days. This is reserved for him.

Other than these 30 days, he can come without reservation, totaling to 60 days in a year. These are over and above the 30. So, he has 90 days total.
Peer comment(s):
neutral writeaway : stay 30 days reserved. you haven't really explained the whole thing. but it's been taken care of in the discussion box. /your explanation is wrong. the 30 days aren't reserved for the owner.

entitled to stay 30 days a year on booking in advance and 60 days as random/walk-in guest per year

This is common for properties that are sold to the owner then the project developer rerent to use as hotel rooms or accommodation at the resort.
Then in this case, the buyer/property owner had the right to stay for a certain number of days per year by booking in advance, and some more walk-in days, of course all are for free.


Note from asker:
Thank you. I think it would be perfect if you gave more specific explanation to "walk-in". sorry I can only chose one helpful answer
