New Hotel Collection Cordova Inn

The Resort and Its Setting

New Hotel Collection Cordova Inn is an independent timeshare property in St Petersburg, Florida, affiliated with the RCI exchange network. That affiliation means owners aren't limited to their home week on-site — they can also trade into RCI's roster of partner resorts elsewhere in the US and abroad. St Petersburg itself sits on Tampa Bay's western shore, known for its arts scene, waterfront parks, and easy access to Gulf beaches, which makes it a practical base whether you use your week every year or trade it for somewhere new.

St Petersburg: The Area and Things to Do

Owners at Cordova Inn are close to some of the city's best-known draws. Downtown St Petersburg, about a mile and a half away, has galleries, independent shops, restaurants, and a lively waterfront. The Dali Museum and the Florida Holocaust Museum, both roughly two miles out, are among the city's cultural anchors. Sports fans can catch a Tampa Bay Rays game at Tropicana Field, about three miles away, and the historic St Petersburg Pier (a mile and a half out) is worth a visit for its dining, shops, and bay views. For beach time, St Petersburg Beach is around five miles from the resort, with white sand, clear water, and the usual beach rentals and lifeguards on duty.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Cordova Inn and are thinking of selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the week yourself, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your ad live, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale — unlike agency resales where a cut comes off the final price.

Because Cordova Inn is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded corporate resale desk. If you're selling, check with the association for the current transfer fee and any right of first refusal they may hold before you agree on a price with a buyer — this affects timing and what the buyer ultimately pays to take over the deed or contract. Buyers should ask the same questions: confirm the transfer fee, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether RCI affiliation carries over automatically or requires a separate enrolment step with RCI once the transfer completes.

A resale buyer typically receives the ownership interest itself (deeded week or equivalent) and the right to use or exchange it going forward, but not any past owner's RCI point balance, banked weeks, or loyalty history — those don't usually transfer. Renters, meanwhile, are simply booking the accommodation for a set week or dates and have no ownership stake at all.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters searching for a week at Cordova Inn are generally looking for Gulf Coast access without buying in outright — a chance to try St Petersburg before committing, or simply a beach-adjacent base for a family trip. Buyers, by contrast, are weighing the ongoing annual fee against how often they'll actually use the week or trade it through RCI. Either way, ask the seller or association for specifics in writing — transfer fee, annual fee, and what exchange credits (if any) come with the unit — before money changes hands.
