Merriweather Resort

The Resort & Setting

Merriweather Resort sits at 115 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, in the heart of Fort Lauderdale's beach district. It's listed online as a casual resort with beach views, offering condos with kitchens and an outdoor pool — the kind of straightforward, self-catering setup that works well for families or couples who want to come and go as they please rather than rely on resort dining. With a 4.8/5 rating from 190 reviews, it's consistently well-rated by owners and guests. The resort is independently run but carries RCI affiliation, so it isn't part of a large branded chain — it has its own management and a more local, personal character.

Fort Lauderdale: The Area & Things To Do

Fort Lauderdale has long shed its old spring-break reputation and is now a genuinely sophisticated beach city, with the Atlantic coastline, canals, and a lively downtown all within easy reach. Fort Lauderdale Beach itself is about 1.5 miles (2 km) away — sand, water sports, and beachfront restaurants. Head inland a little further and you'll find Las Olas Boulevard (around 2 miles / 3 km), the city's main strip for shopping, galleries and upscale dining. Boating and fishing fans can explore the Fort Lauderdale Inlet (roughly 2.5 miles / 4 km), while the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens (about 3 miles / 5 km) offers a look at the city's 1920s history and artistic heritage. If you're cruising, Port Everglades (around 5 miles / 8 km) is one of the busiest cruise terminals in the world, with regular departures to the Caribbean and Bahamas. Miami is about 19 miles (30 km) south via I-95, making it a realistic day trip.

Selling Or Renting A Week Here

If you own a week at Merriweather Resort and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week directly, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on a sale — sellers pay a one-time listing fee to advertise, and that's it.

Because Merriweather Resort is independent rather than part of a large branded group, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, what the annual maintenance fee stands at, and whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on a resale. These details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so always get them in writing from management before closing a deal.

A resale buyer typically receives the ownership interest and usage rights tied to the week or points being sold — but not any loyalty perks, promotional upgrades, or benefits that were only ever offered to an original purchaser. If RCI exchange privileges are attached to the specific contract being sold, make sure that's confirmed with the resort as part of the transfer, since exchange affiliation isn't automatically guaranteed to carry over in every case.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward things: a confirmed week with clear check-in dates, a kitchen for self-catering, proximity to the beach, and transparent costs with no surprise fees — all points worth highlighting clearly in your listing.

Practical Notes

Fort Lauderdale's peak season runs roughly November through March, when demand from renters and buyers tends to concentrate on securing specific dates, so listing early matters if you're renting out a week. Hurricane season runs June to November; confirm parking arrangements directly with the resort when booking, as arrangements may need to be made in advance.
