Club Wyndham Grand Palms

The Resort & Setting

Club Wyndham Grand Palms is a Wyndham-branded vacation ownership resort at 1250 US-17 Business, Surfside Beach, SC. Google reviewers rate it 4.1 out of 5 from nearly 2,000 ratings, and the on-site description points to fully equipped rooms and villas with balconies or patios, set within a resort that includes pools, a game room and a gym. It's a straightforward, family-oriented timeshare property rather than a boutique or luxury one-off — the kind of place built for repeat beach holidays rather than a single splashy trip.

Surfside Beach and the Grand Strand

Surfside Beach has long marketed itself as "The Family Beach," and that reputation holds up: a wide sandy shoreline, a low-key boardwalk feel, and local seafood and casual dining within walking distance of many properties along US-17. It sits on South Carolina's Grand Strand, so owners and renters aren't limited to one town. North Myrtle Beach is about 6 miles (10 km) away with its own shopping and entertainment, Myrtle Beach itself is roughly 15 miles (25 km) north with championship golf courses, attractions and nightlife, and Huntington Beach State Park, around 12 miles (19 km) south, offers marsh boardwalks and wildlife viewing for a quieter day out.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Club Wyndham Grand Palms and are ready to move it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise.

Before listing, it's worth knowing what actually happens on transfer. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership from one party to another carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, which is separate from any price you agree with a buyer. Club Wyndham's own guidance also makes clear that resale points do not carry VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners benefits — a buyer purchasing your week on the resale market gets the underlying ownership and usage, but not those extra developer-level perks. Club Wyndham does not publish a standard transfer timeframe, so build some flexibility into your sale timeline.

A right of first refusal is not universal here: owner reports indicate it applies only to some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those originated from around 2017 onward, and even where it exists it's rarely exercised. It's sensible to check your own contract documents to see whether this applies before you agree on a price with a buyer.

For renters, the appeal is simple: a known brand, a beach-town location, and the flexibility of booking a villa with a kitchen and separate living space rather than a single hotel room — useful for families or groups splitting costs.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, owners who aren't using their week themselves have the option to deposit it into the RCI exchange network for a future trip elsewhere, rather than renting or selling it outright. Buyers should always confirm current annual maintenance fees and any outstanding dues directly with Wyndham before finalising a purchase, since these figures change and aren't fixed by the seller. As with any resale transaction, get the ownership change fee, the right of first refusal status, and the maintenance fee in writing before you commit.
