Village Heights Golf Resort

The resort and its setting

Village Heights Golf Resort is a Hilton Vacation Club property on Crete, built around a golf course and designed to combine that with easy access to the island's coast and inland scenery. Units are laid out for self-catering-style stays, with a design that nods to Greek style rather than a generic international look. The resort is affiliated with RCI, so owners who aren't using their week in a given year have the option of depositing it into the exchange network rather than letting it go to waste.

The area and things to do

Crete is Greece's largest island, and this part of it offers both golf and a genuine sense of the countryside. Minoan archaeological sites are within easy reach for anyone interested in Crete's ancient Bronze Age history, while nearby traditional villages offer a slower pace, tavernas, and local produce. The coast is close enough for beach days, and inland you'll find vineyards and wine estates that are part of Crete's long winemaking tradition. Further afield, the Samaria Gorge is one of the longest gorges in Europe and a well-known hiking route for anyone planning a full day out. Together, this mix of golf, coast, villages and gorge makes the resort a useful base for very different kinds of days, not just rounds on the course.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Village Heights Golf Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters searching for Crete and Hilton Vacation Club properties, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to publish your ad, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale or rental itself, so whatever you agree with a buyer is what you keep.

Because this is a branded resort under Hilton Vacation Club, resale transfers typically go through the brand's own ownership transfer process rather than an independent owners' association. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask Hilton Vacation Club directly for the current transfer fee and confirm whether a right of first refusal applies to your specific week — this varies by contract and shouldn't be assumed either way. You should also get written confirmation of the current annual maintenance fee, since this is what the buyer will be taking on going forward. A resale buyer typically receives the usage rights tied to the week and unit type as registered, but shouldn't assume that anything beyond that — such as loyalty points, upgrades, or extra perks — transfers automatically. Confirm with the brand exactly what's included before closing.

Renters, meanwhile, are generally looking for clear dates, confirmation of the unit size and view, and a straightforward answer on what's included in the resort fees versus what they'd pay locally. Being upfront about these details in your listing tends to get faster responses.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

If you're an owner, keep your maintenance fee statements and any correspondence with Hilton Vacation Club handy — buyers will ask, and having clear documentation speeds up a sale considerably. If you're buying or renting, treat the RCI affiliation as a bonus rather than the main reason to choose this resort: it's useful if you want the flexibility to exchange into other destinations in future years, but the golf course and Crete location are what you're really paying for week to week.
