Club Wyndham Bay Voyage Inn

The resort and its setting

Club Wyndham Bay Voyage Inn is a waterfront property at 150 Conanicus Ave in Jamestown, Rhode Island, right on Narragansett Bay. The units are 1-bedroom condos with full kitchens, so owners and renters can self-cater rather than eat out for every meal. On site there's an outdoor pool and a hot tub, and the resort currently holds a 4.3-star rating from 350 Google reviews — a solid, consistent score for a smaller coastal property. It's a Club Wyndham-branded resort, which matters if you're buying resale, since Wyndham's own rules on points and benefits apply (more on that below).

Jamestown and the area

Jamestown is the kind of place people come back to year after year — a small, low-key island town that avoids the summer crowds of nearby Newport while staying close enough to enjoy its restaurants, beaches and sailing scene. Jamestown itself has its own beaches, harbour and a handful of good seafood spots within walking distance of the resort. Newport, with its famous Gilded Age mansions, Cliff Walk and harbourfront, is a short drive across the Newport Bridge. The wider Newport County area is popular for sailing, cycling and coastal walking from spring through autumn, with a quieter, better-value shoulder season either side of peak summer.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Club Wyndham Bay Voyage Inn and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters 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 what actually happens on a resale. According to Club Wyndham, there's a $399 ownership change processing charge to transfer a contract into a new owner's name — this is separate from whatever price you and the buyer agree between yourselves. Wyndham hasn't published a transfer timeframe, so it's worth building in some lead time when planning a sale.

A right of first refusal applies only to some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, and owners report it's rarely exercised in practice — some brokers describe the clause more broadly, so it's worth checking your specific contract documents before you commit to a sale.

Buyers should also know that resale points do not carry VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners benefits — these perks stay with the original, developer-purchased points and don't transfer to a resale buyer. What you do get with a resale purchase is the underlying ownership and the points themselves, usable for bookings at Bay Voyage Inn or elsewhere in the Club Wyndham system, and this resort's points are exchangeable through RCI if you'd rather trade your week for a stay elsewhere.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters tend to ask about kitchen setup, pool and hot tub access, and how close the unit is to the water — all things this resort delivers on, according to its listing details. If you're renting rather than buying, confirm with the owner directly what's included and what the booking dates look like before you pay anything. If you're buying, ask the seller for the current annual maintenance fee and any outstanding ownership change costs before agreeing on a final price, since these affect the real cost of ownership on top of whatever you pay for the week itself.
