Kingstown Reef

The Resort & Setting

Kingstown Reef is a Club Wyndham-affiliated timeshare resort located in Orlando, Florida. It operates on the familiar vacation ownership model: owners hold a week or points at the resort and can use that allocation themselves, bank it, or exchange it through RCI. Club Wyndham's management structure applies here, meaning the day-to-day running of the property follows the same operational standards used across the Club Wyndham portfolio.

The Area & Things to Do

Orlando needs little introduction. Kingstown Reef's location puts owners and renters within reasonable driving distance of the region's biggest draws: Walt Disney World Resort (about 20 miles away), Universal Orlando Resort (around 15 miles), and SeaWorld Orlando (roughly 17 miles). Closer still is International Drive, Orlando's long-running entertainment and dining strip, about 10 miles from the resort, with downtown Orlando's dining and nightlife scene around 7 miles away. Further afield, Kennedy Space Center on Florida's Space Coast makes for an easy day trip at roughly 53 miles. A car or ride-share is the practical way to get around, since the attractions and I-Drive corridor are spread across the metro area rather than clustered together.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their Kingstown Reef week have the option to list it for resale or rent directly, owner-to-owner, on BidMyTimeshare.com. You set your own asking price, interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — BidMyTimeshare.com charges a one-time listing fee instead of a percentage cut.

Before listing, it's worth understanding the brand-specific mechanics of a Club Wyndham transfer. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership from one party to another carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, typically paid at the time the transfer is processed. Club Wyndham does not publish a standard timeframe for how long a transfer takes, so sellers and buyers should factor in some flexibility when planning the handover.

A right of first refusal applies only to some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those originating from around 2017 onward, and owners report that it is rarely exercised in practice — though some resale brokers describe the clause more broadly, so it's worth checking your specific contract before listing.

Buyers should also understand what a resale purchase does and doesn't include: resale points at Club Wyndham do not carry VIP status, Club Pass privileges, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners benefits. These perks are reserved for developer-purchased ownership, so a resale buyer is acquiring the usage rights and RCI exchange access tied to the points or week itself, not the full suite of developer-level perks.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters typically look for clear, specific details: unit size, which weeks or seasons are available, and whether the stay is booked as a fixed week or through RCI exchange points. Buyers considering a resale purchase should ask the current owner for the maintenance fee amount and due date, confirm whether the contract is subject to a right of first refusal, and clarify how the $399 transfer charge will be handled between the two parties before agreeing on a price.
