Marriott Vacation Club Pulse at The Mayflower, Washington, D.C.

The Resort & Setting

Marriott Vacation Club Pulse at The Mayflower occupies several floors within the landmark Mayflower Hotel at 1127 Connecticut Ave NW, one of Washington's grand old addresses dating back to the 1920s. Marriott describes it as high-end lodging offering sophisticated rooms and suites with free Wi-Fi, and Google reviewers rate it 4.2 out of 5 from 202 reviews. This is a "Pulse" property in the Marriott Vacation Club line, meaning shorter, city-based stays rather than a traditional sprawling resort — think elegant lobby, period architecture, and a location built for walking to work or sightseeing rather than lounging by a pool.

The Area & Things to Do

Connecticut Avenue NW puts owners within walking distance of Dupont Circle's restaurants, galleries and bookshops, and it's a short ride or metro hop from the National Mall, the Smithsonian museums, the White House and Georgetown's waterfront and shopping streets. Washington's major sights — the monuments, the Capitol, the Library of Congress — are all accessible without a car, which is part of the appeal of staying in this part of the city. Embassies line the surrounding streets (Embassy Row runs close by), giving the neighbourhood its own quiet, leafy character distinct from the more touristy stretches nearer the Mall.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week or points at The Mayflower and want to move them on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters directly, and you handle enquiries through the platform yourself. We don't take a cut of the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee, and that's it, with no commission on top.

Before you price a resale, it helps to understand Marriott's own transfer mechanics, since they apply regardless of which marketplace the sale goes through. According to Marriott, points transfers are charged at $750 per 250 points with a $3,000 minimum, plus fees; for US legacy weeks, RedWeek lists a $25 transfer fee plus a $95 right-of-first-refusal fee. Marriott also holds a right of first refusal, typically running 15–30 days depending on the resort, so a sale isn't final until that window has passed. Owners report that a full transfer tends to take around three to four months, so build that timeline into any sale conversation with a buyer.

It's also worth being upfront with buyers about what resale ownership does and doesn't include. Resale points don't count toward Marriott's Reserve or Pinnacle membership tiers, and resale legacy weeks cannot be enrolled in the Abound programme or converted to Marriott Bonvoy points. This property does carry access to Interval International for owners who want to exchange their week rather than use or rent it directly. None of this stops a resale purchase being good value — it just means buyers should know exactly what status they're getting before they commit.

Renters, meanwhile, are generally looking for a specific set of dates around a conference, a family trip to the monuments, or a long weekend of museum-hopping, and they'll want clarity on check-in dates, unit size, and what's included before they book.

Practical Notes

As with any Marriott Vacation Club resale, confirm current annual maintenance fees and any special assessments directly with Marriott or the current owner before agreeing a price — these aren't published on an open page and require an owner portal login to view. Factor the transfer and right-of-first-refusal timeline into your sale date, and keep documentation of the unit, points allocation or fixed week on hand to speed up buyer due diligence.
