Club Wyndham Elysian Beach Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Club Wyndham Elysian Beach Resort is a Wyndham-managed property on Cowpet Bay, part of St Thomas's East End — a quieter, more residential stretch of the island than the cruise-ship bustle of Charlotte Amalie. Google reviewers (4.3/5 from 519 ratings) describe it as an "unassuming" resort with balcony suites, a pool, a spa and two on-site restaurants. It's a straightforward, lodging-style timeshare rather than a sprawling resort complex, and that low-key character is part of its appeal to owners who want an easy, repeatable Caribbean base.

Cowpet Bay and the East End of St Thomas

The East End is known for calmer water and easy access to some of the island's best stretches of sand. Sapphire Beach is about 6 km away and popular for swimming and water sports, while Maho Bay, roughly 8 km away, is well regarded for snorkelling and marine life. Coral World Ocean Park, around 12 km from the resort, has an underwater observatory and aquarium displays that make for a good half-day out. Further afield, a ferry connects to St John, where Virgin Islands National Park — about 15 km away by sea, plus the crossing — offers hiking trails and protected beaches across St John. As a US territory, the Virgin Islands also means no passport is needed for US citizens — a government-issued ID is enough to travel.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Listing a week at Club Wyndham Elysian Beach Resort on BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct, owner-to-owner resale or rental: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — just a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers.

Before you price a resale, it's worth knowing how Club Wyndham handles ownership changes. According to Club Wyndham, moving a contract into a new owner's name carries a $399 ownership change processing charge. A right of first refusal applies only to some Club Wyndham Access contracts (generally those dated from around 2017), and owner reports suggest it's rarely exercised in practice, even though some brokers describe it as standard — so it's worth checking your specific contract. Published guidance doesn't give a fixed timeline for how long a transfer takes, so factor in some lead time around any sale.

Buyers should also understand what a resale does not include: points acquired through resale cannot be used for VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners, even though the underlying ownership and usage rights transfer normally. If exchange flexibility matters to you, the resort is RCI-affiliated, so ownership here can be used to trade into other RCI resorts worldwide, in addition to booking stays at Elysian Beach itself.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for the balcony suites, pool and spa, proximity to Sapphire and Maho beaches, and the East End's calmer pace compared with the island's busier tourist areas.

Practical Notes

The US Virgin Islands have a tropical climate, with hurricane season from June through November and a drier, more settled stretch from December to April. Shoulder months — April, May, and September through November — tend to bring fewer crowds and more manageable weather for outdoor plans, though hurricane risk should be weighed against those autumn dates. Whether you're selling, renting or buying, it's worth confirming current annual maintenance fees and any outstanding ownership details directly with Club Wyndham before finalising a deal.
