Sheraton Desert Oasis Villas, Scottsdale

The resort and its setting

Sheraton Desert Oasis Villas is a Sheraton Vacation Club resort at 17700 Hayden Rd, in the Hayden/Loop 101 corridor of North Scottsdale, Arizona. Google reviewers give it 4.5 out of 5 from over 1,500 ratings, describing a modern property with stylish villa-style accommodation, an outdoor pool, a kids' play area and free Wi-Fi throughout. It's built as a villa resort rather than a standard hotel, which suits the longer stays typical of timeshare ownership — more space, a kitchen in the unit, and room to properly settle in for a week rather than just pass through.

The area and things to do

Scottsdale is one of the Phoenix metro area's best-known destinations for golf, spa breaks and desert scenery, and this part of North Scottsdale puts owners within easy reach of that mix. The area is known for its golf courses, upscale shopping and dining, and access to the Sonoran Desert landscape that defines this part of Arizona — think saguaro-studded trails, dramatic sunsets and winter weather that's genuinely mild compared with much of the rest of the country. It's a popular base for anyone wanting a few days of golf, hiking in the surrounding desert preserves, or simply poolside downtime between excursions into Old Town Scottsdale or out to Phoenix.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Sheraton Desert Oasis Villas and are considering selling it, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, you set the asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. No commission is taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before listing, it's worth gathering a few key details that buyers will ask about: your current annual maintenance fee, the season and unit size of your week, and whether you've used it through Interval International, which is the verified exchange network associated with this resort. Being able to answer these questions upfront tends to speed up a sale.

On the transfer side, resale at a branded resort like this one typically goes through Sheraton Vacation Club's own resale and transfer process rather than an independent association, so ask the brand directly for the current transfer or resale fee and confirm whether a right of first refusal applies before agreeing a price with a buyer — these terms and figures come from the brand itself and can change, so always verify them at the time of sale rather than relying on what a previous owner may have paid. A resale buyer generally takes on the deeded or contracted usage rights to the week itself; perks tied to loyalty programmes or point-based elite status are typically not guaranteed to carry over, so it's worth having both parties confirm exactly what is and isn't included before the deal is finalised.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters researching this resort are usually looking for the same things: confirmation of the week or points being offered, the unit size, proximity to the pool and amenities, and reassurance that the booking is legitimate before they commit. As a seller or owner renting out a week, having your resort confirmation details ready, along with clarity on what's included (housekeeping, resort fees, parking), makes the listing more attractive and the transaction smoother for both sides.
