Surf Rider Resort

The Resort & Setting

Surf Rider Resort is an independently run timeshare property set directly on the beachfront in Pompano Beach, Broward County. It's RCI-affiliated, so owners booking their own week also have the option to put it into RCI's exchange system and use it toward stays at other RCI resorts. Because the resort sits right at the water's edge, the Atlantic and Pompano's sandy shoreline are literally outside the door — worth noting, since beachfront access is one of the first things buyers and renters ask about.

The Area & Things to Do

Pompano Beach has had a fair bit of a facelift in recent years, with newer restaurants, shops and bars popping up around a still-unmistakably laid-back beach town. The Pompano Beach Pier is a five-minute walk away and good for an evening stroll, a spot of fishing, or dinner with an ocean view. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a short drive south if you want more nightlife and watersports, and families often build in a day at Butterfly World or an outlet run at Sawgrass Mills. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is handy for anyone wanting trails and a quieter patch of coastline. Fort Lauderdale International Airport is roughly 20 miles away, so it's a straightforward arrival for both US and international guests — handy to know for renters coming from out of state or overseas.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Listing a Surf Rider Resort week on BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner resale or rental — you're not selling through the resort or a broker. You set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee rather than taking a commission on the sale.

Because this is an independent resort, resale transfers go through Surf Rider Resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded developer process. Before you agree a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management: the current transfer fee, whether there's a right of first refusal clause that could affect the sale, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing from the HOA or management office before closing.

Buyers should also be clear on what actually transfers with a resale week — typically the deeded or contracted usage rights and the maintenance fee obligation — but not necessarily any resort-specific perks, loyalty status, or points balances tied to the original owner's account. If RCI participation matters to you, check with RCI and the resort directly on how enrolment transfers to a new owner, since exchange company membership isn't always automatic with a resale purchase.

Practical Notes for Buyers & Renters

Renters tend to ask about three things first: distance to the beach, time of year, and what's walkable. Surf Rider Resort scores well on both counts, given its beachfront position. Winter (December through March) is the busiest and most requested season for South Florida beach weeks, so if you're renting out a week in that window, list it early. Summer brings lower demand and more afternoon thunderstorms, which can actually suit buyers looking for a quieter, better-value stretch, including those wanting to use an RCI exchange to bank the week for travel elsewhere.
