Ocean Pointe Suites @ Key Largo

The Resort & Its Setting

Ocean Pointe Suites @ Key Largo sits in Tavernier, a low-key residential stretch of the Upper Keys between Key Largo proper and Islamorada. It's an independently run resort offering suite-style accommodation, and it carries an RCI affiliation, which matters most to owners who like the flexibility of trading their week rather than always returning to the same unit. Tavernier itself is quieter than its better-known neighbours, which suits owners and renters who want the Keys lifestyle — water, light, boats — without the crowds of Key West or the restaurant scene of Islamorada.

The Area & Things to Do

The whole point of owning here is the water. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, about 6 miles away, is the obvious draw — snorkelling, diving and the Christ of the Abyss statue sit inside America's first underwater state park. Closer still, Tavernier Creek (roughly 1 mile) is handy for fishing, kayaking and simply getting out on the water without a long drive. The Key Largo Coral Reef Marine Sanctuary, around 3 miles off, protects a huge stretch of reef and is a regular stop for dive boats out of local marinas. Further afield, Islamorada (about 9 miles) covers restaurants, tackle shops and galleries, while Theater of the Sea (around 11 miles) is the go-to for families with younger kids. None of this requires a long commute — it's the reason renters specifically search out Tavernier over other Keys bases.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Ocean Pointe Suites @ Key Largo and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. We charge a one-time listing fee and take 0% commission on the sale or rental — there's no cut of your price taken at closing.

Because Ocean Pointe Suites @ Key Largo is independently managed rather than run by one of the big timeshare brands, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a corporate resale desk. Before you agree a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its HOA what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee stands at for the unit and week in question — these figures aren't published centrally and can vary, so get them in writing rather than relying on what a previous owner paid. Ask, too, whether the resort or HOA holds any right of first refusal on a sale, and allow time for that response before closing, since it can affect your timeline.

A resale buyer at an independent resort typically takes over the deeded week or points interest, the ongoing annual maintenance fee obligation, and — where the resort is affiliated, as this one is with RCI — access to that exchange network once the membership is transferred into their name. What doesn't automatically carry over is any loyalty status, banked points, or prior owner benefits tied to the previous owner's account; these generally don't transfer and should never be assumed as part of the deal.

Practical Notes for Renters and Buyers

Renters booking a week here are generally after the same thing: proximity to the reef and a quieter base than Key West. If you're renting out your week, mention Tavernier's location relative to Pennekamp, Islamorada and the dive shops — that's what people search for. Peak season in the Keys runs roughly November through April, when water conditions are calmest and diving and snorkelling trips are easiest to book; hurricane season runs June through November, though the Keys typically see less severe impact than mainland Florida.
