Holiday Inn Club Vacations Scottsdale Resort

The Resort & Setting

Holiday Inn Club Vacations Scottsdale Resort is a Spanish-style timeshare property at 7677 E Princess Blvd, in the desert foothills of north Scottsdale. Villas come with full kitchens, suiting families or groups who want to cook some meals rather than eat out every night, and the grounds include a cantina and four pools. With a 4.4-star rating from nearly 2,000 Google reviews, it's a well-established property within the Holiday Inn Club Vacations portfolio and is affiliated with both RCI and Interval International, which matters if you want to exchange your week for stays elsewhere.

The Area & Things to Do

North Scottsdale is desert resort country — golf courses, hiking trails and upscale shopping, with a drier, quieter feel than the busier parts of the Valley. Old Town Scottsdale, about 2 miles away, has the galleries, restaurants and nightlife; Camelback Mountain (5 miles) is the classic local hike with sweeping valley views; and Taliesin West (6 miles), Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and school, is worth the detour for anyone interested in architecture. Golf is everywhere, with courses just a mile or two from the resort, and the Desert Botanical Garden (3 miles) is a good option for a slower morning among the saguaros. Winter (November to March) is peak season here — mild days, cool evenings — while summer temperatures regularly climb past 104°F (40°C), which affects both when owners use their week and when renters search for dates.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Holiday Inn Club Vacations Scottsdale Resort and want to sell or rent your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the week yourself, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to post the ad.

A few points specific to this brand are worth knowing before you price a resale. Holiday Inn Club Vacations does not publish a resale transfer fee — the $1,200 figure sometimes quoted on the brand's Horizons page is an exit fee for leaving the club through Holiday Inn Club Vacations itself, not a fee for transferring ownership to a private buyer. Owners have reported that the company exercises a right of first refusal on resales, so a sale can take longer to close than a straightforward private transaction, and transfer times are not published, so build in some flexibility when agreeing a closing date with a buyer. It's also worth noting, based on owner reports, that points-based interests typically revert to a fixed deeded week once resold, except at three Holiday Inn Club resorts (South Beach, Lake Geneva, and Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountain) — so a buyer purchasing a resale week here should confirm directly with the brand whether they're acquiring a fixed week or retained points flexibility, and what, if anything, carries over in terms of RCI or Interval International enrolment.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters typically look for clear week numbers or date ranges, villa size, and proximity to Old Town Scottsdale and the golf courses — all points worth spelling out in your listing. Buyers researching a resale should ask the seller (or the resort's owner services team) for the current annual maintenance fee, confirm whether the week is fixed or points-based, and clarify what happens to RCI or Interval International affiliation after transfer, since none of this is guaranteed to carry over automatically. For anyone weighing a purchase, remember that the brand's right of first refusal means the deal isn't final until that step has cleared.

Getting There

The resort is in north Scottsdale, within easy reach of Scottsdale Airpark and a reasonable drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Ride-sharing is widely available for trips into Old Town or out to the hiking trailheads, which spares renters the cost of a rental car for a short stay.
