Club Wyndham Long Wharf

The Resort & Setting

Club Wyndham Long Wharf is a Wyndham-branded timeshare resort at 5 Washington St, right in the heart of downtown Newport, Rhode Island. Guest reviews describe it as a relaxed, easy-going property with suites that include kitchens — handy for self-catering during a longer stay. On-site facilities include two pools, a fitness room and a movie theatre, giving owners and renters plenty to do without having to leave the property. Its harbourside address means most of Newport's historic centre is within easy walking distance.

Newport & Newport County

Newport is one of New England's best-known coastal towns, famous for its Gilded Age mansions, working harbour, and sailing heritage — it's hosted America's Cup races and remains a major yachting centre. The compact downtown around Long Wharf is lined with seafood restaurants, galleries and shops, and the famous Cliff Walk footpath runs along the oceanfront past some of the grandest mansions in the US. Newport County itself is easy to explore by car, with beaches, vineyards and smaller harbour towns scattered along Narragansett Bay and nearby Aquidneck Island. It suits both a short city-and-harbour break and a longer week combining the beach with sightseeing.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Club Wyndham Long Wharf and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or for rent privately through BidMyTimeshare.com. You set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters searching for Newport and Club Wyndham properties, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. We charge a one-time listing fee and take 0% commission on the sale — unlike a broker, we don't take a cut of what you agree with a buyer.

Before listing, it's worth understanding Club Wyndham's own transfer process. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership from seller to buyer carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, payable to the brand when the transfer is recorded. Club Wyndham has not published a standard transfer timeframe, so it's sensible to ask the brand or your resale contact for a current estimate before agreeing a closing date with a buyer.

Buyers should also know that resale points at Club Wyndham come with restrictions: according to Club Wyndham, resale points cannot be used for VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners. Owner reports suggest that only some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, and that it's rarely exercised in practice — but it's worth checking your own contract paperwork, since terms vary by agreement type. Club Wyndham Long Wharf points can be used within the RCI exchange network, which is a feature buyers may value if they want flexibility to trade their week for stays elsewhere.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters typically look at Club Wyndham Long Wharf for its downtown Newport location, the in-suite kitchens, and the pools, gym and movie theatre on site — all useful for a family week or a longer stay without eating out every meal. If you're buying resale, confirm with the seller or Club Wyndham which week, unit size and points allocation are attached to the contract, and ask about the current annual maintenance fee — a recurring cost separate from the $399 transfer charge. Anyone selling should keep paperwork on hand — including proof of any right of first refusal clause — to make the transfer process as straightforward as possible once a buyer is found.
