Scottsdale Villa Mirage, a Hilton Vacation Club

The resort and its setting

Scottsdale Villa Mirage is a Hilton Vacation Club property (formerly part of the Diamond Resorts collection) at 7887 E Princess Blvd, in the Desert Ridge / north Scottsdale area of Maricopa County, Arizona. Google reviewers give it 4.2 out of 5 from nearly 1,600 ratings, and Hilton's own listing describes "warm suites with kitchens, plus tennis courts, a putting green, a pool & a kids' splash pad." It's built as a low-rise, villa-style resort rather than a high-rise hotel, which suits families or groups who want a full kitchen and separate living space rather than a single hotel room.

The area and things to do

Scottsdale is one of the best-known desert resort towns in the American Southwest, known for its golf courses, spa resorts, hiking trails through saguaro-studded desert, and a lively Old Town with galleries, restaurants and nightlife. North Scottsdale, where Villa Mirage sits, is closer to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and several championship golf courses than to the downtown strip, so it tends to suit guests who want quieter surroundings with Scottsdale's attractions still a short drive away. Winter and spring are the busiest and most sought-after times to visit, while summer — when desert temperatures climb well into the 100s°F — is the off-season and typically the easiest time to book or rent.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Scottsdale Villa Mirage and no longer use it, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it for sale or for rent directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and we don't take a commission — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before you list, it helps to understand how resale ownership works at this resort. According to Hilton Grand Vacations (which now administers the former Diamond Resorts contracts), resale buyers do not automatically become members of The Club, and HGV Max — the newer benefits tier — isn't available to anyone who buys on the secondary market. HGV hasn't published an official transfer fee for these contracts, but one owner reported paying $250 per contract in 2024; treat this as a data point rather than a guaranteed figure, and confirm the current cost directly with Hilton Grand Vacations before agreeing on a sale price. No right of first refusal was found in the available documentation, and no official transfer timeline is published, so it's worth building some flexibility into your closing expectations. Owners here also have access to the RCI and Interval International exchange networks, which is worth mentioning to a buyer who wants to trade their week for stays elsewhere.

Renters typically look for a specific week or season, the suite size (studio, one- or two-bedroom), and confirmation of what's included — kitchen, resort amenities, and whether tennis courts or the putting green require a separate booking. Being upfront about these details in your listing saves time for both sides.

Practical notes for buyers and sellers

Because this is a branded resort under Hilton Vacation Club, resale transfers go through Hilton Grand Vacations' own process rather than an independent owners' association. Buyers should ask for written confirmation of the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee before finalising a purchase, since neither figure is published and both can change. Sellers should likewise double-check their own contract paperwork for the exact week, unit type and any usage restrictions before listing, so the information in the ad matches what a buyer will actually receive.
