Sands Ocean Club

The Resort & Its Setting

Sands Ocean Club is an independently run timeshare resort with an RCI affiliation, located right in Myrtle Beach — one of the busiest and most established beach towns on the South Carolina coast. It's a vacation ownership property rather than a hotel, meaning owners hold a week (or points, depending on how their contract was structured) rather than booking a room on the open market. Because it's independently operated, decisions on management, fees and resale go through the resort's own owners' association rather than a national hotel chain, which is worth understanding before you buy, sell or rent.

Myrtle Beach: The Area and What There Is to Do

Myrtle Beach sits on the Grand Strand, a roughly 60-mile stretch of Atlantic coastline that's been a go-to beach destination for American families for decades. Close to the resort, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade (about 2 miles away) is the obvious first stop — oceanfront shops, restaurants and people-watching along a proper beach walkway. Broadway at the Beach, around 3 miles away, covers dining and entertainment with restaurants, shops and live venues. For a quieter pace, Myrtle Beach State Park (roughly 5 miles away) offers a natural stretch of beach, a fishing pier and boardwalk trails. Further afield, Brookgreen Gardens (about 15 miles away) is a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve well worth the drive, and Huntington Beach State Park (around 20 miles away) adds salt marshes, nature trails and kayaking for those wanting more than sand and surf. Golf is a huge part of the area's identity too — Myrtle Beach has one of the highest concentrations of courses in the US.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

If you own at Sands Ocean Club and want to sell or rent your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Sands Ocean Club is independent, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should ask the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published and can change year to year. A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights (and the obligation to pay future maintenance fees) but doesn't automatically inherit any loyalty perks or promotional extras the original purchaser may have had — confirm exactly what's included before closing.

Sands Ocean Club's RCI affiliation is a genuine selling point worth mentioning in your listing: buyers who exchange through RCI can use the week for stays at other RCI resorts worldwide, which widens the pool of people who might be interested beyond those wanting Myrtle Beach specifically.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters booking a week at Sands Ocean Club are usually after the basics done well: a convenient Myrtle Beach location, enough space for the family (timeshare units generally run larger than a standard hotel room), and clear dates that line up with the time of year they want — peak summer for the beach, or the quieter shoulder months for golf and smaller crowds.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Sellers

Whether you're listing a week or considering buying one, get the fee details in writing from the resort before any money changes hands — transfer fee, current annual maintenance fee, and whether the resort or owners' association needs to approve the transfer. These details vary by contract and aren't something a marketplace listing can substitute for.
