Pierre & Vacances Residence du Golf Deauville

The resort and its setting

Residence du Golf Deauville is a Pierre & Vacances property in Deauville, the Normandy coastal town long associated with Belle Époque villas, its seafront boardwalk and a well-heeled French holiday crowd. The residence offers self-catering apartments in the style typical of Pierre & Vacances' French resorts, and sits within easy reach of Deauville Beach and the Deauville-Saint-Gatien Golf Club. It suits owners and guests who want a base for golf, beach time and exploring the Normandy coast, rather than a resort built around on-site entertainment.

The area and things to do

Deauville itself is geared towards a relaxed, upmarket seaside break: the promenade, the beach, racecourses, a casino quarter and a calendar of events including the Deauville American Film Festival each September. Golfers have several courses within a short drive, led by Deauville-Saint-Gatien. The harbour town of Honfleur, with its cobbled quayside and galleries, is around 20 minutes away, and the D-Day landing beaches and their museums are reachable in about 45 minutes, making this a sensible base for combining a coastal holiday with Normandy's wartime history.

Selling or renting a week here

Owners who no longer use their week at Residence du Golf Deauville can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. The marketplace works on a straightforward owner-to-owner basis: you set your own asking price, pay a one-off listing fee to publish the ad, and there is no commission taken when the week sells or rents — buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform to agree terms.

Because detailed transfer figures for this specific resort were not supplied by Pierre & Vacances for this listing, any resale here would be processed through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than through BidMyTimeshare itself. Before agreeing a sale price, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with Pierre & Vacances (or the resort's management) the current transfer fee, whether a right of first refusal applies, how long a transfer typically takes to complete, and the current annual maintenance fee. Ask these questions upfront and get the answers in writing, since these figures can change and are not something a resale marketplace can quote on your behalf.

Renters, meanwhile, are mainly interested in seasonality, proximity to the beach and golf course, apartment size, and whether an exchange is possible. This resort's affiliation with Interval International is confirmed, so owners exchanging through that network can mention this when listing, as it may appeal to buyers who hold Interval membership and want the flexibility to trade their week for stays elsewhere.

Practical notes for buyers and sellers

If you're selling, be upfront in your listing about unit size, the week or season you hold, and whether the week is fixed or floating. If you're buying or renting, ask the current owner for a recent maintenance fee statement and check the Pierre & Vacances transfer process before committing, since resale transfers at branded resorts are typically handled by the brand or its management company rather than by the marketplace.

Getting there

The nearest major airport is Paris-Orly, roughly 200 kilometres from Deauville, so most visitors combine a flight into Paris with a drive or train journey onward to the coast. It's worth booking well ahead for stays around the American Film Festival or peak summer weeks, when demand in Deauville itself tends to rise.
