The Alexandra Resort and Spa Grace Bay

The Resort and Its Setting

The Alexandra Resort and Spa is an independently operated timeshare resort in St. Augustine, Florida, affiliated with the RCI exchange network. Rather than being part of a large branded chain, it's managed locally, which typically means a closer relationship between owners and the resort's management and a more intimate, neighbourhood feel than you'd get at a big corporate resort. Its location puts guests within walking distance of St. Augustine's historic district, so it suits owners who want their week centred on culture and history rather than a resort-contained vacation.

The Area and Things to Do

St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States, and that history is on full display just steps from the resort: cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial buildings, and centuries-old landmarks fill the downtown core. Castillo de San Marcos, the 17th-century Spanish fortress overlooking Matanzas Bay, is a short trip away and a must for anyone interested in early American military history. Families often build a day around Potter's Wax Museum or the Alligator Farm Zoological Park, both popular with kids. For beach time, St. Augustine Beach offers lifeguard-patrolled sand, water sports, and nearby restaurants. The mix of history, wildlife, and coastline is what draws repeat visitors to this stretch of northeast Florida.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Alexandra and are ready to move on, or just want to rent it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it directly as an owner-to-owner resale or rental. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because The Alexandra is independently managed, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee so both sides know the real cost of taking over the week — these figures aren't published centrally and can change year to year. Buyers should also confirm in writing what the resale includes: the usage week or points allocation, whether the RCI affiliation carries over to the new owner, and whether any special assessments are outstanding.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for confirmed dates, proximity to the historic district, and clarity on whether RCI exchange guests or week-owners occupy the unit during their stay — all details worth spelling out clearly in your listing.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Owners using their week through RCI can browse the exchange network's calendar to swap into other affiliated resorts worldwide, or list their week for incoming exchange guests. If you're buying resale specifically to exchange, confirm with the resort or with RCI that the unit remains eligible for exchange after transfer, since this can vary by resort policy.

St. Augustine's visitor season runs heaviest from winter holidays through spring break, with hotter, more humid conditions from May through September. That seasonal pattern is worth keeping in mind both when choosing which week to buy and when pricing a rental listing — weeks in the cooler months tend to be easier to market to families and history-focused travellers.
