Aqua Sol, a Hilton Vacation Club

The Resort & Its Setting

Aqua Sol is a Hilton Grand Vacations property in Winter Garden, Florida, operated as a Hilton Vacation Club within the broader Hilton Grand Vacations portfolio. Ownership here is structured as timeshare, sold in usage increments that owners can occupy, exchange, or rent out. Winter Garden itself is a well-regarded Central Florida town, not a resort strip — think brick-paved downtown streets, local cafes, and a slower pace than the Orlando tourist corridor just a short drive away.

The Area & Things to Do

Winter Garden's historic downtown, with its art galleries, boutique shops, and farm-to-table dining, is about 2 miles from the resort and makes for an easy evening out without fighting theme-park traffic. For the bigger attractions, Universal Orlando Resort is roughly 17 miles away and Walt Disney World Resort around 20 miles, both comfortably reachable by car. Golfers have Orange County National Golf Club about 5 miles away, and for a change of pace from the parks, Wekiwa Springs State Park (around 10 miles) offers natural spring-fed swimming, hiking, and wildlife watching. It's a location that suits families splitting time between theme parks and quieter local life.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to move on from your Aqua Sol week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay only a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before you list, it's worth understanding how Hilton Grand Vacations' resale process works. Under the fee schedule effective 1 January 2026, a resale transfer carries a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee, and a $102 estoppel fee — up from $715, $489, and $99 in 2025. Transfers may also be subject to a right of first refusal, which brokers say typically takes around 30 days to resolve, so factor that possibility into your timeline when negotiating with a buyer.

Closing times vary: brokers quote anywhere from about a month at the fast end to two to four months in other cases, so set expectations with your buyer early. It's also important that both parties understand what does and doesn't carry over: a resale buyer at Aqua Sol gets only limited Hilton Honors points conversion, no automatic elevated Honors status, no Open Season booking benefits, and no access to HGV Max. None of this stops a sale — plenty of buyers purchase resale specifically because the week is cheaper — but being upfront about it avoids disputes after the deal closes.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters typically look for clear week or points availability, confirmation of RCI exchange eligibility if they plan to trade the stay elsewhere, and straightforward communication about check-in dates. If you're renting out rather than selling, be explicit in your listing about what's included — RCI exchange access is a genuine selling point here, giving renters and owners alike the option to trade into other destinations worldwide.

Anyone buying resale should ask the seller for the current annual maintenance fee amount and confirm in writing which of the transfer fees above apply to their specific purchase, since Hilton Grand Vacations updates its schedules periodically.
