Marriott's Shadow Ridge II - The Enclaves

The Resort & Setting

Marriott's Shadow Ridge II - The Enclaves is part of Marriott Vacation Club, located at 9003 Shadow Ridge Rd in Palm Desert, California. The property is built around a golf setting and offers modern studios and villas, outdoor pools, and casual on-site dining options. Google's editorial summary describes it as a "stylish lodging featuring golf, outdoor pools & casual dining options," and it currently holds a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 444 reviews — a solid score for a timeshare resort of this type in the Coachella Valley.

The Area & Things to Do

Palm Desert sits in Riverside County, within the Coachella Valley, a desert region known for its golf courses, hiking trails, and dry, sunny climate for much of the year. The area draws visitors for golf (fitting, given this resort's own golf-oriented setting), desert scenery, and day trips to nearby Palm Springs and the wider valley. Shoulder season in the desert tends to fall in late spring and autumn, when temperatures are milder than peak winter season but outdoor activities are still comfortable — worth keeping in mind for rental pricing, and for your own travel planning if you use the week yourself in some years.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to part with your week — or just want to rent it out for a season — BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace. You set your own asking price, list your week (or points), and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee and 0% commission on the sale or rental itself, so you keep what you negotiate.

Before listing, it helps to understand Marriott Vacation Club's resale mechanics, since they shape what a buyer actually receives:

- **Transfer / resale fee:** According to Marriott, points transfers are charged at $750 per 250 points (minimum $3,000) plus fees, including a $300 education fee for first-time owners. For US legacy weeks, the fee is $25 plus a $95 right-of-first-refusal fee. - **Right of first refusal:** Marriott holds a right of first refusal on resales, which typically runs 15–30 days depending on the resort, so factor this window into your expected closing timeline. - **What a resale buyer does and doesn't get:** Resale points do not count toward Reserve or Pinnacle membership tiers, and resale legacy weeks cannot enrol in the Abound program or convert to Marriott Bonvoy points. This is worth stating clearly in your listing so buyers know what they're getting. - **Typical transfer time:** Owners commonly report the full transfer process taking around 3–4 months, so set expectations accordingly with a buyer. - **Exchange network:** This resort's ownership is affiliated with Interval International, which is useful to mention if a buyer is interested in exchanging their week for stays elsewhere.

Marriott doesn't publish these fees on an open web page — the figures above come from the owner portal and resale-industry sources, so it's worth confirming current numbers directly with Marriott before finalising a sale.

Practical Notes for Buyers & Renters

Renters typically look for clear week or points availability, confirmation of what's included (studio vs. villa, view, season), and a straightforward way to communicate with the owner before booking. If you're renting out your week, be upfront about the unit type and the time of year, since desert temperatures vary a lot between summer and winter. Buyers researching a purchase should always ask about the current annual maintenance fee and confirm it directly with Marriott Vacation Club or the resort, as this isn't listed in general marketing material and can change from year to year.
