The Courtyards

About The Courtyards

The Courtyards is an independent timeshare resort in New Orleans, operating under RCI affiliation rather than a major hotel brand. That independent status means the resort is run by its own management or owners' association rather than a national timeshare company, which is worth knowing before you buy, sell, or ask about annual fees. Its appeal is straightforward: a New Orleans address, with the city's landmarks a short distance away rather than out in the suburbs.

The Area and What There Is to Do

New Orleans needs little introduction. The French Quarter, with its ironwork balconies, bars and galleries, sits about a mile from the resort, and Jackson Square—with St. Louis Cathedral and views over the Mississippi—is barely further. Music lovers will want Preservation Hall for traditional jazz, and the New Orleans Jazz Museum covers the city's musical history in depth. For more open-air time, Audubon Park and City Park both offer walking paths and gardens, with City Park also home to the New Orleans Museum of Art. Streetcars and buses connect most of this without needing a car, and the city runs festivals and events through most of the calendar, so there's rarely a dead season for visitors.

Selling or Renting a Week at The Courtyards

Owners who no longer use their week, or who want to generate some return from it, can list The Courtyards for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee rather than taking a commission on the sale.

Because The Courtyards is an independent resort, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a large timeshare brand. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resale transactions, how long the transfer process typically takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and aren't fixed figures we can quote here, so getting them in writing from management protects both sides of the sale.

What a resale buyer takes on is the usage right tied to the week or points being sold—it does not include any loyalty status, promotional credits, or perks the original purchaser may have received when buying directly from a developer. The RCI affiliation itself, however, is a feature of the resort's ownership structure, so a verified resale through proper transfer channels should retain exchange eligibility once the transfer is complete and recorded with RCI.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters searching for The Courtyards are usually after walkable access to the French Quarter and live music without needing a car, plus the predictability of a fixed week during festival season or a quieter spring or autumn visit. Being upfront in your listing about unit size, the week or dates available, and proximity to specific attractions helps renters judge whether it suits their trip.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

If you're listing a week, gather your maintenance fee statement, any resort or association contact details, and confirmation of your RCI membership number if you plan to highlight exchange potential. Buyers should request the same documents before completing a purchase, and should always verify transfer costs and timelines with the resort directly rather than relying on secondhand estimates.
