Redington Ambassador

The Resort & Setting

Redington Ambassador sits directly on Gulf Blvd in North Redington Beach, a narrow barrier-island town in Pinellas County known for its low-rise, residential feel rather than high-density tourist strips. It's an independent timeshare property — not part of a major hotel brand — but its RCI affiliation means owners can tap into a wider exchange network rather than being limited to this one address. With a 4.6/5 rating from 362 Google reviews, it's clearly well-regarded by the owners and guests who actually stay there.

The Area and Things to Do

North Redington Beach itself is the main draw: a public beach access point roughly a third of a mile (about half a kilometre) from the resort gives you the classic Gulf Coast combination of soft sand, warm shallow water, and reliable sunset views, without the crowds of bigger beach towns. For more going on, Clearwater Beach is about 5 miles (8 km) up the coast, with its well-known Pier and a lively strip of restaurants and water-sports operators. St. Pete Beach, around 7–8 miles (12 km) south, offers its own award-winning stretch of white quartz sand. Inland, Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg (about 9 miles/15 km) makes an easy half-day out for anyone wanting a break from the beach, with tropical plantings and shaded walking paths. Tampa and its airport are within comfortable driving range too, which matters if you're renting your week out to guests flying in.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

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

Because Redington Ambassador operates as an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a big branded transfer department. Instead, transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, so before agreeing on a price with a buyer, confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee is for the week in question — these figures aren't published and can vary by unit and season. Ask too whether the association has a right of first refusal on resales, as many independent resorts do, so there are no surprises once a buyer is found.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contracted rights to the week itself and, where applicable, continued access to RCI for exchanges — but not any resort-specific perks tied to the original purchase (promotional stays, bonus weeks, or similar incentives usually don't transfer). Get the maintenance fee payment history and any outstanding dues in writing before closing.

For renters, what matters most is straightforward: confirmed week/unit dates, proximity to the beach, and clarity on what's included (housekeeping, linens, parking) versus what guests need to bring or book themselves.

Practical Notes

Owners planning to use RCI for exchanges should book with some flexibility — RCI's system rewards owners who can shift travel dates rather than insisting on fixed peak weeks. Florida's Gulf Coast weather runs warmest and most humid through summer, with winter offering the driest, most settled conditions for beach time, so factor that into both your own travel plans and what renters are likely to ask for.
