The Osborne Club

The Resort & Setting

The Osborne Club is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, giving owners a base in Devon's TQ1 district — right in the heart of the English Riviera. As an RCI-affiliated resort rather than a branded chain property, it has its own character and its own owners' association or management team handling day-to-day running and any resale administration, while still giving owners access to RCI's exchange system for trading their week elsewhere.

The Area and Things to Do

Devon's South Coast is one of England's most visited holiday regions, and TQ1 puts owners within easy reach of it all. Exmouth, about 5 miles away, offers classic English seaside with sand, coastal walks and traditional promenade attractions. Exeter, roughly 9 miles away, has its medieval Gothic cathedral and a compact, walkable historic centre. Further afield, Dartmoor National Park (around 15 miles away) is a different world entirely — open moorland, tors and quiet trails for hiking or horse riding — while the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site about 19 miles away, has cliff walks that reveal 185 million years of geological history. Exeter Airport, around 11 miles from the resort, keeps the area reachable for international visitors as well as UK regulars.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Osborne Club and are ready to move on, or simply want to rent it out occasionally, BidMyTimeshare.com is a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price or rental rate, buyers and renters contact you directly through the listing, and there's no commission on the sale — you pay a one-time listing fee to publish your ad.

Because The Osborne Club is independent, any transfer of ownership is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a big-brand transfer department. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing from the association directly. It's also worth confirming whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as some independent resorts do, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once paperwork is submitted.

A resale buyer at The Osborne Club should expect to receive the timeshare interval itself and, where applicable, continued access to the RCI exchange network under RCI's own membership terms — but not any resort-specific perks, loyalty points, or promotional extras tied to the original owner's account. Buyers should always confirm directly with the resort what does and doesn't transfer before completing a purchase.

Practical Notes

Renters typically look for clear week dates, confirmation that the stay is bookable and transferable, and an idea of what's nearby — Devon's beaches, Dartmoor, and the Jurassic Coast are all strong selling points to mention in a listing. If you're renting rather than selling, be upfront about whether the booking goes through RCI or directly with the resort, as this affects how a guest checks in.

For sellers, a listing that states the week/season, unit size, whether it's a fixed or floating week, and the current annual fee tends to attract more serious enquiries. For buyers, always verify the annual maintenance fee and any outstanding transfer costs with the resort before finalising a deal — these details sit outside the marketplace listing itself and come directly from The Osborne Club's association.
