The Colony

The Resort & Its Setting

The Colony is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. That RCI affiliation is the main benefit for ownership purposes: it connects owners to RCI's exchange network, so a week here isn't only usable at the resort itself — it can also be banked or exchanged for other RCI resorts, depending on RCI's own rules and availability. Being an independent resort (rather than part of a branded chain) means owners typically deal directly with the resort's own management or owners' association for anything involving resale, transfer fees or annual fees.

Virginia Beach: The Area and Things to Do

Virginia Beach is a well-known Atlantic coast destination with a three-mile oceanfront boardwalk lined with shops, restaurants and direct beach access. Beyond the sand, the area has a strong maritime streak: Chesapeake Bay is close by for boating, wildlife-watching and scenic cruises, and The Mariners' Museum in nearby Newport News covers naval and maritime history in depth. History and theme-park fans can venture further afield to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens Williamsburg, both popular day-trip options from the coast. Fresh seafood, outdoor recreation and a generally family-friendly pace are what keep people coming back to this stretch of Virginia.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Colony and are considering selling, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the week, and interested buyers contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because The Colony is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded developer. Before agreeing a price with any buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the current annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and can change from year to year. A resale buyer typically takes over the deeded or contracted week itself along with ongoing maintenance fee obligations; they do not automatically inherit any developer loyalty perks or points-club benefits that may have been tied to the original purchase, so it's worth clarifying exactly what transfers before closing.

If RCI exchange access matters to a prospective buyer, confirm with the resort or RCI directly whether that affiliation and any associated membership carries over with a resale, as exchange company rules on this can vary.

For owners who'd rather rent out a week than sell, the same listing approach applies: set your rental price, describe the week and unit details accurately, and handle enquiries directly through the marketplace.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters and buyers researching The Colony will generally want to know the unit size and sleeping capacity, the season or specific week(s) attached to the contract, and whether the week floats or is fixed — none of which is standardised across independent resorts, so always confirm these details with the current owner before booking or buying. Anyone planning a visit should also factor in Virginia Beach's seasonal swings: summer is peak season, with the shoulder months offering a quieter, often more comfortable alternative.
