Berkshire by the Sea

The Resort and Its Setting

Berkshire by the Sea sits at 126 N Ocean Blvd, right in the heart of Delray Beach, with 1- and 2-bedroom apartments described as unfussy rather than flashy. On-site, owners have two pools, a hot tub and a tennis court to use between trips to the beach. Google reviewers rate the resort 4.6 out of 5 from 298 reviews, which points to a well-kept property with a loyal following rather than a flagship luxury build. It's an independent resort with an RCI affiliation, which matters most to owners who like the option to trade their week for a stay elsewhere.

Delray Beach and What's Around

Delray Beach has built a name for itself as one of South Florida's more laid-back, walkable beach towns. The public beach is about half a mile from the resort and is known for clean sand, calm water and lifeguard coverage — handy for anyone who doesn't want to drive to enjoy the ocean. Atlantic Avenue, roughly a mile away, is the town's main strip for shopping, dining and browsing the galleries, and it stays busy well into the evening. A bit further out, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens (about 5 miles) make for a quieter half-day trip, and Palm Beach, around 9 miles north, is worth a day trip for its shops and oceanfront mansions if owners want a change of scene without giving up the week behind.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Berkshire by the Sea can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's a one-time listing fee with 0% commission on the sale — unlike agency-brokered resales, nothing is taken from the final price.

Because Berkshire by the Sea is independently operated, resale and transfer aren't handled through a big-brand points system. Instead, the transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer fee, any right of first refusal the association may hold, and the current annual maintenance fee. These figures aren't published on our marketplace because they can change, so always get them in writing from the resort before closing.

What a resale buyer does get is the deeded or contracted right to use the unit for the purchased week going forward, plus access to the RCI exchange network, which is confirmed for this resort — a real plus for buyers who want the flexibility to trade into other destinations rather than return to Delray Beach every year. What a buyer typically does not inherit is any past owner's RCI points balance, deposits already banked, or loyalty history, since those generally reset or stay with the exchange account, not the week itself.

For renters, the draw is straightforward: a walkable Delray Beach location, two pools plus a hot tub for downtime, and apartment-style space that suits couples or small families better than a standard hotel room.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

November through April is Delray Beach's busiest and most comfortable stretch, with milder temperatures and lower rainfall — this is when demand for rental weeks tends to be strongest. Summer brings heat and brief afternoon thunderstorms, but also softer rental rates, which can suit buyers who don't mind off-peak weather. Owners planning to exchange through RCI should bank or request their week well ahead of travel, since popular destinations and dates fill up early.
