Ocean Villas Beach Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Ocean Villas Beach Resort is an independent timeshare property at 7509 N Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC, affiliated with the RCI exchange network. It holds a 3.9/5 rating from 129 Google reviews, reflecting a typical Grand Strand beach resort experience rather than a luxury flagship. Owners here hold vacation ownership interests that come with RCI exchange rights alongside use of the home resort itself.

Myrtle Beach: The Area and What to Do

Myrtle Beach is one of the East Coast's best-known seaside destinations, built around 60 miles of sandy coastline, the Grand Strand entertainment corridor, and a golf scene with more than 100 championship courses nearby. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade, about a mile and a half (roughly 2km) from the resort, is the classic evening-out spot for arcades, shops and oceanfront dining. Huntington Beach State Park and Myrtle Beach State Park offer a quieter, more natural stretch of coast for those who want trails and wildlife over crowds, while Brookgreen Gardens in nearby Murrells Inlet makes for a good half-day out. Barefoot Landing, up in North Myrtle Beach, offers shopping and live entertainment on a larger site. The area draws visitors for most of the year, with summer the busiest and most expensive stretch.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Ocean Villas Beach Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly with other owners and renters through BidMyTimeshare.com. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get the ad live.

Because Ocean Villas Beach Resort is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its management: the current transfer or resale administration fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process typically takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. Put these questions in writing and have the answers included in the sale agreement — none of these figures are standardised across independent resorts, so don't assume anything until the resort confirms it.

A resale buyer typically takes over the usage rights to the specific week and unit type conveyed, along with the obligation to pay future annual maintenance fees. Buyers should ask specifically what does and doesn't transfer — for example, whether RCI exchange enrolment carries over automatically or needs to be set up separately by the new owner, since exchange company membership is often handled apart from the resort transfer itself.

Practical Notes for Renters and Buyers

Renters typically look for clear week numbers or usage dates, unit size and sleeping capacity, and confirmation of what's included (linens, parking, resort fees). Buyers considering a resale purchase should weigh the annual maintenance fee against likely usage, check RCI affiliation status directly with the resort rather than assuming it, and ask what condition the unit is in given the resort's mixed guest reviews. As with any older coastal resort, it's worth asking about planned renovations or special assessments before buying.
