Pointe On The Bay

The Resort & Its Setting

Pointe On The Bay is an independent timeshare resort affiliated with RCI, located on Philadelphia Avenue in Ocean City, Maryland. It falls into the "lodging" category typical of vacation ownership properties in this part of the mid-Atlantic coast, and it carries a 4.3 out of 5 rating from 185 Google reviews — a solid record for a resort of this type. Being RCI-affiliated means owners aren't limited to using their week only at the home resort; they can also deposit it into RCI's exchange system to trade for stays elsewhere, subject to RCI's own rules and availability.

Ocean City and What's Nearby

Ocean City is one of the mid-Atlantic's long-standing beach towns, built around its boardwalk and wide sandy beach. From Pointe On The Bay, the Ocean City Beach is about 0.3 km away and the Ocean City Boardwalk roughly 0.5 km — close enough to walk to in a few minutes. The boardwalk itself stretches about 1.5 miles and is lined with arcades, shops, food stalls and amusement rides, including the historic Trimper's Amusements, operating since the early 1900s, around 1 km from the resort. For time on the water, Assawoman Bay (about 2 km away) offers boat rentals and fishing spots, while Sinepuxent Bay, a little further at around 3 km, is well suited to kayaking and birdwatching away from the busier beachfront.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Pointe On The Bay and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your ad, and BidMyTimeshare doesn't take any commission on the sale or rental — what you agree with the buyer is what you keep.

Because Pointe On The Bay is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than through a branded resale programme. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort directly to confirm the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published and vary by unit and contract. Ask, too, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once paperwork is submitted — this can affect how quickly a buyer can plan their first stay.

A resale buyer at Pointe On The Bay should expect to take on the usage rights tied to the week or points being sold, along with the obligation to pay future annual maintenance fees. They won't inherit any loyalty perks or promotional extras the original owner may have received when first purchasing — only what's specified in the resort's governing documents and the transfer paperwork. If the week is RCI-affiliated and enrolled, ask the current owner to confirm enrollment status, since RCI membership and deposit rules are separate from the resort transfer itself.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters and buyers looking at Ocean City generally want proximity to the beach and boardwalk, and Pointe On The Bay's location close to both is a straightforward selling point to mention in a listing. Summer is peak season here, so weeks that fall in July and August tend to draw the most renter interest, while spring and autumn weeks appeal to those after quieter, cooler visits. If you're listing a specific week, note whether it coincides with popular local events, as this can matter to renters planning a trip to Ocean City.
