Marriott's Harbour Club

The Resort & Setting

Marriott's Harbour Club is a Marriott Vacation Club property at 144 Lighthouse Rd, overlooking the harbour at Shelter Cove, Hilton Head Island. The villas are described as upscale, each with a full kitchen, free Wi-Fi and a whirlpool tub, and the resort's villa buildings share an outdoor pool and gym between them. It's a lodging property built around comfortable, self-catering villa stays rather than traditional hotel rooms, which suits families and groups who want space to cook and spread out after a day on the island.

The Area & Things to Do

Hilton Head Island is one of the best-known coastal destinations on the South Carolina and Georgia Lowcountry coast, famous for its wide Atlantic beaches, bike paths and golf courses. The resort's Shelter Cove location puts owners and guests near the marina, with its shops, restaurants and charter boats, and within easy reach of the island's beaches. Harbour Town, with its iconic lighthouse and harbour-front shops and restaurants, is a short drive away, and the island's many golf courses, tennis facilities and nature trails are part of what keeps visitors coming back year after year. Beaufort County's marshes and barrier-island scenery give the area a slower, greener, waterside feel distinct from other beach towns on the East Coast.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Marriott's Harbour Club and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to post their week.

Because this is a Marriott Vacation Club resort, there are a few brand-specific points worth understanding before you price or buy a resale week here. According to Marriott, resale buyers of points pay $750 per 250 points (minimum $3,000) plus a $300 education fee for first-time owners, and a $95 fee if Marriott waives its right of first refusal; for US legacy weeks like those at Harbour Club, the transfer fee is typically $25 plus the $95 right-of-first-refusal fee. Marriott holds a right of first refusal on resales, lasting 15–30 days depending on the resort, so sellers should build that window into their expected timeline — owners report that sales commonly take 3–4 months from agreement to completed transfer.

Buyers should also understand what they do and don't get with a resale week here: resale points don't count toward Marriott's Reserve or Pinnacle membership tiers, and resale legacy weeks can't be enrolled in Abound or converted to Marriott Bonvoy points. The resort does participate in the Interval International exchange network, which resale owners can generally still use for exchanges — but the membership-tier perks reserved for retail purchases won't transfer. Since Marriott's owner portal requires a login and doesn't publish these fees publicly, it's worth confirming current figures directly with Marriott before finalising a sale.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters researching Marriott's Harbour Club are typically looking at villa-style stays with kitchens and whirlpool tubs, a pool and gym on site, and a Shelter Cove address that's walkable to marina dining and shops. When listing a week for rent, mentioning the villa configuration, time of year and proximity to Harbour Town and the beaches helps renters picture the stay. Sellers should have their deed or ownership documents, maintenance fee statements and points or week details ready, since buyers will ask about these before committing — and remember that any sale remains subject to Marriott's right of first refusal period before it's finalised.
