Club Wyndham Orange Tree Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Club Wyndham Orange Tree Resort is a Club Wyndham-branded timeshare property in Scottsdale, Arizona, part of the Wyndham points system. Owners here hold Club Wyndham points, which can be used at the home resort or put toward stays elsewhere through Wyndham's network. The Sonoran Desert setting is typical of north Scottsdale: open desert landscape, golf courses threaded between resort communities, and a climate that draws visitors from colder states and countries alike during the cooler months.

Scottsdale: The Area and Things to Do

Scottsdale is one of the more established resort towns in the Phoenix metro area, with a reputation built on golf, spa culture and desert scenery. Within easy driving distance of the resort, Old Town Scottsdale has galleries, restaurants and nightlife in a walkable historic core. Camelback Mountain is a well-known local hike with views over the valley, and the Desert Botanical Garden is worth a visit for anyone curious about Sonoran Desert plant life. Architecture fans often make time for Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's former home and studio, while golfers have a long list of courses to choose from, including Scottsdale National. Most of these are a short drive from the resort, and a rental car makes getting around straightforward.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their Club Wyndham Orange Tree Resort points, or who want to recover some of the ongoing cost, can list the week for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner process: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise.

Before listing, it helps to understand what actually happens on transfer. According to Club Wyndham, ownership changes carry a $399 processing charge, which covers moving the contract into the new owner's name. Transfer times aren't published by Wyndham, so buyers and sellers should both build in some flexibility while the paperwork goes through.

It's also worth being upfront with buyers about what resale points don't include: Wyndham excludes resale-acquired points from VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion and PlusPartners. These perks stay with points bought directly from the developer and don't transfer with a resale contract. Some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onwards, may carry a right of first refusal, meaning Wyndham could in theory step in to buy back the contract on the terms agreed — owners report this is rarely exercised, but it's worth disclosing to a prospective buyer rather than finding out partway through a sale.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone buying a resold week should confirm the current annual maintenance fee directly with Wyndham before agreeing on a price, since this affects the real cost of ownership going forward. Sellers should have their contract details and most recent fee statement ready when listing, as buyers will ask. If the points are used through RCI, that affiliation and its exchange value are worth mentioning in your listing, since it's a point buyers researching Club Wyndham resorts commonly ask about.

Who Tends to Look for This Resort

Buyers and renters interested in Scottsdale timeshares are usually after a desert winter base with golf and hiking nearby, rather than a beach week. Families and couples looking for a change of scene from colder climates, or Wyndham owners wanting to add a Southwest destination to their rotation, are typical renters and buyers for a week here.
