TimurBay Seafront Residence

The Resort & Setting

TimurBay Seafront Residence is an apartment-hotel on the Jalan Kuantan–Kemaman stretch, right on the Kampung Sungai Karang seafront a short drive north of Kuantan town. Google describes it as a "relaxed apartment hotel offering simply decorated units with balconies, plus a pool and a cafe" — so this isn't a sprawling resort complex with multiple restaurants and entertainment programming, but a more modest, self-catering-friendly setup that suits owners and guests who want a quiet base by the sea rather than a full-service resort experience. The 4.4-star rating across more than 2,000 reviews suggests consistent satisfaction with what's on offer, even if the amenities list is relatively simple.

The Area & Things to Do

Kuantan is the capital of Pahang state and the main gateway to this part of Malaysia's east coast, known for its beaches, fishing villages and proximity to national parks. The South China Sea coastline here is lined with casuarina trees and has quieter stretches of sand than the busier west-coast resorts, and Kuantan town itself has a working port, markets and a reasonable spread of local eateries for anyone wanting to venture beyond the resort. The east coast's weather pattern means the monsoon season (roughly November to February) brings rougher seas and heavier rain, so most visitors, and most renters, aim for the drier months between March and October.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at TimurBay Seafront Residence and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your week, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on whatever you eventually sell or rent it for.

Because TimurBay Seafront Residence is independently run rather than part of a major branded timeshare chain, resales here typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a centralised transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and they can affect what a buyer is willing to pay. A resale buyer should also confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week, whether it's deeded or right-to-use, any outstanding fees, and whether the week carries exchange affiliation.

One thing worth flagging to prospective buyers: this resort is affiliated with RCI, which means an owned week here can potentially be deposited into the RCI exchange network, subject to RCI's own rules and fees. That's a genuine point in favour of the property if exchanging is part of what you're looking for.

Practical Notes

Renters researching TimurBay Seafront Residence tend to ask about the same things: how far the unit is from the beach, whether the balcony has a sea view, what's included in cafe and pool access, and how far it is into Kuantan town for shops and restaurants. If you're listing a week for rent, it's worth having clear answers to those questions ready, along with the unit size, sleeping capacity and view category, for your listing description. Sellers should also be upfront about which week or season they own, since availability around school holidays and the drier months tends to attract more interest than monsoon-season weeks.
