The Surf Club

The Resort & Its Setting

The Surf Club is an independent timeshare property in Dewey Beach, Delaware, affiliated with RCI. That affiliation matters for owners: it means a week here isn't just a week at this one address — it's also a foothold in RCI's exchange network, should an owner want to trade a stay for another RCI resort instead of using the week locally. Dewey Beach itself is known as a narrow, lively strip between the Atlantic and Rehoboth Bay, long popular with visitors from Washington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore for its beach bars, restaurants, and easy walk to the sand.

The Area & Things to Do

Dewey Beach's main draw is right outside the door: the beach itself, with swimming, sunbathing and the usual seasonal water sports. Rehoboth Bay and the wider Delaware Bay add fishing and waterfront dining a short distance away. About 5 miles north, Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk brings classic seaside entertainment — amusement rides, shops, and a long stretch of restaurants. Further afield, Cape Henlopen State Park (roughly 7 miles) offers hiking, fishing, and the historic Fort Miles site for anyone wanting a break from the beach crowds, while Bethany Beach (about 9 miles south) is the quieter, more family-oriented alternative if owners or renters fancy a change of pace mid-stay.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at The Surf Club and are thinking about listing it, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the week directly, and pay a one-time listing fee rather than handing a cut of the sale to an agency — there's 0% commission on completed sales. Interested buyers contact you through the platform, so you stay in control of the conversation and the final price.

Because The Surf Club is an independent resort, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a brand-level resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and can change from year to year. A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights tied to the deeded or contracted week itself, along with whatever RCI exchange eligibility comes attached to the unit — but not any back dues, so settling those before transfer is standard practice.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward basics: clear week dates, proximity to the beach, and confirmation of what's included in the unit. Being upfront about these details in your listing tends to attract more serious enquiries.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Summer is peak season in Dewey Beach, so weeks in July and August are generally the most sought-after for both personal use and rental demand. Spring and fall shoulder seasons bring milder weather and thinner crowds, which can suit owners who prefer a quieter stay or want to attract renters looking for value outside the summer rush. Anyone planning to use RCI exchange privileges attached to a week here should check availability well ahead of time, as popular exchange weeks can fill quickly.

A Few Things to Confirm Before Buying

Given the lack of a centralized brand resale office, buyers should treat the owners' association or management company as the first point of contact for verifying maintenance fees, any right of first refusal the resort may hold, and the transfer process timeline. These details vary by resort and aren't standardized across independent properties, so getting them in writing before closing a private sale is the safest approach.
