Sedona Summit, a Hilton Vacation Club

The resort and its setting

Sedona Summit is a Hilton Vacation Club property (formerly a Diamond Resorts location) on Navoti Drive in Sedona, Arizona, within Yavapai County. Google reviewers rate it 4.1 out of 5 across more than 4,100 reviews, describing bright, roomy accommodation spread across a relaxed, low-rise layout. The resort's facilities are straightforward and family-friendly: four outdoor pools, six hot tubs, and a picnic area for guests who'd rather cook outdoors than eat out every night. It's the kind of place built for settling in for a week rather than a quick overnight stop.

Sedona and the surrounding area

Sedona is known internationally for its red rock buttes and canyon country, and the town itself is compact and walkable, with galleries, restaurants and trailheads within easy reach of most accommodation. The area draws hikers, photographers and anyone after a change of scenery from the usual desert resort towns — the red rock colour shifts dramatically at sunrise and sunset, and many visitors plan their days around it. Flagstaff and the high country around Oak Creek Canyon are a short drive north, giving owners and renters a mix of warm lowland days and cooler mountain air depending on the season.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own at Sedona Summit and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lists it as a private, owner-to-owner resale and rental marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before you price a resale, it's worth understanding the brand's own rules, which differ from buying new. According to Hilton Grand Vacations (which now oversees former Diamond Resorts contracts), the transfer fee for this type of contract isn't officially published, but owners have reported paying around $250 per contract as of 2024. A right of first refusal isn't documented for this collection, so there's no indication the brand would step in to match or block a private sale. What resale buyers should know going in: they do not automatically become members of The Club, and HGV Max — the enhanced club benefits tier — isn't available to anyone who buys on the secondary market. Typical transfer processing time isn't published either, so it's sensible to build some flexibility into your sale timeline and confirm current paperwork requirements before agreeing a price.

Owners here can also exchange their week through RCI or Interval International, both confirmed exchange networks for this resort — worth mentioning in a listing if you've used either yourself, since it broadens the appeal to buyers who travel beyond Sedona.

What renters and buyers typically look for

Renters researching Sedona Summit tend to ask about pool access, hot tub availability, unit size and whether a kitchen is included — useful details to spell out clearly in your listing description. Buyers considering a resale will want to know the annual maintenance fee, which week or points allocation comes with the contract, and whether the unit has been used recently or banked with an exchange network. Being specific about all of this upfront saves time on both sides.

Practical notes

Sedona's high season generally runs through the cooler months and spring, when hiking conditions are at their best; summer brings higher temperatures typical of the high desert. If you're listing a week for sale or rent, noting which season your week falls in — and whether it's fixed or floating — helps buyers judge its value quickly.
