Resort at World Golf Village

The Resort and Its Setting

Resort at World Golf Village is an independent timeshare property, meaning it runs under its own management and owners' association rather than a national hotel brand. It carries RCI affiliation, so weeks bought or owned here can be deposited into the RCI exchange network for trading toward stays at other affiliated resorts. The resort takes its name from the surrounding World Golf Village community, a golf-oriented development on the outskirts of St. Augustine, Florida.

St. Augustine and the Surrounding Area

St. Augustine is widely known as the oldest continuously occupied European-founded city in the United States, and its historic core is a short drive from the resort. Cobblestone streets, colonial-era architecture, small museums and a steady run of independent restaurants and shops make the downtown easy to explore on foot once you've parked. Beyond the history, the area has the usual draws of coastal northeast Florida: Atlantic beaches, a subtropical climate that keeps outdoor plans viable most of the year, and the golf courses that give World Golf Village its name. Families travelling with a mix of golfers and non-golfers tend to find enough to do on both sides.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Resort at World Golf Village and are ready to move on, or you'd simply like to rent it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com is a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price or rental rate, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers, and that's the full extent of what the marketplace charges.

Because this is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a national brand's corporate transfer desk. Instead, ownership transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its management company: the current transfer fee for putting the week into the new owner's name, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, the current annual maintenance fee, and roughly how long the transfer process takes to complete. These details vary by resort and aren't standardised the way they would be at a branded property, so getting them in writing before closing protects both buyer and seller.

A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded or contractual rights to the week itself and, where applicable, continued RCI affiliation for exchanges — but incentives such as loyalty points, resort credits or promotional perks tied to the original purchase generally do not carry over to a resale buyer. Anyone renting rather than buying should also note that renters use the unit for their stay only; they don't acquire ownership, exchange rights, or any claim on the week beyond the dates agreed with the owner.

What Renters and Buyers Tend to Look For

Renters asking about this resort usually want to know unit size and sleeping capacity, the week or season on offer, proximity to the historic district and beaches, and whether golf course access is included or arranged separately. Buyers considering a purchase will want the same information plus the maintenance fee history and confirmation of RCI affiliation status, since that affects how flexibly the week can be exchanged in future years.

Practical Notes

St. Augustine's historic district is compact and walkable, so owners and renters are usually better off parking once and covering downtown on foot rather than driving between sights. Summer afternoons bring regular thunderstorms, which is worth building into any day-trip plans, while the milder, less humid months from late autumn through winter tend to suit sightseeing and golf alike. Popular sites such as Castillo de San Marcos get busy by midday, so an early start helps.
