Eckhert Place

The Resort & Setting

Eckhert Place is an independent timeshare resort rather than a major chain property, carrying an RCI affiliation that links it into a worldwide exchange network. That combination is fairly typical of San Antonio's timeshare stock: a smaller, self-managed resort that still gives owners the option to trade their week for a stay somewhere else entirely. If you own here, your week is tied to San Antonio first and foremost, with exchange as a secondary option rather than the main draw.

San Antonio: The Area and Things to Do

San Antonio is Texas's second-largest city and one of its most historically layered, built around the San Antonio River and a Spanish colonial past that's still very visible today. The River Walk - a landscaped river corridor lined with restaurants, bars and shops - sits close to the resort and is the natural starting point for most visitors. The Alamo, a short drive away, remains the city's best-known historic site, while the Mission Trail links four UNESCO-listed Spanish missions for those who want to go deeper into the region's colonial history. The Pearl District offers a more contemporary side of the city, with craft breweries, markets and boutique dining in a converted brewery complex, and the San Antonio Museum of Art rounds things out with a strong collection in a converted riverside building. Between the historic sites, the food scene and a climate that's workable most of the year, there's enough here to fill a week without needing a car for everything.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you want to sell your Eckhert Place week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale - sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get the ad live. The same applies if you'd rather rent out a specific year's week instead of selling outright; you set the rental terms and deal directly with the renter.

Because Eckhert Place is independent, resale isn't routed through a big-brand points system. Transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, so before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the transfer fee is and what the current annual maintenance fee amounts to - these figures aren't published centrally and can change, so get them in writing from the resort rather than relying on a listing. Ask too whether the association has a right of first refusal on resales, as some independent resorts do and others don't.

A resale buyer at an independent resort generally takes on the usage rights and the maintenance fee obligation going forward, but won't automatically inherit anything tied to the original purchase contract (such as promotional perks offered to the first owner) unless the resort explicitly confirms otherwise. If the RCI affiliation matters to you as a buyer, check with Eckhert Place's management whether that affiliation and any associated RCI membership transfers with the week, since exchange company enrolment isn't always automatic on resale.

Practical Notes for Renters and Buyers

Renters coming to San Antonio through this resort should expect to use the week as a base for exploring downtown and the missions, with the River Walk and the Alamo both within easy reach. Anyone planning an RCI exchange out of Eckhert Place should register with RCI well ahead of peak periods - spring break, Thanksgiving and Christmas fill up fast - since exchange availability tightens considerably around those dates.
