The Windjammer

The Resort & Its Setting

The Windjammer is an independently run timeshare resort in Nags Head, one of the Outer Banks' most recognisable beach towns. Its independent status means it's managed on its own terms rather than as part of a national hotel-style brand, while its RCI affiliation gives owners access to RCI's exchange network for trading their week at thousands of other affiliated resorts worldwide. That combination — local, owner-focused management plus a global exchange option — is the core identity of the property.

The Area & Things to Do

Nags Head sits on a barrier island along North Carolina's Atlantic coast, and the beach itself is practically on the doorstep — the Outer Banks' wide, sandy shoreline is about half a kilometre (a third of a mile) from the resort. Nags Head Pier, a long-standing local landmark for fishing, shopping and oceanfront dining, is roughly 2 km (just over a mile) away, and downtown Nags Head's restaurants and shops are about 1 km (half a mile) off. A short drive of around 8 km (5 miles) brings you to Kill Devil Hills, home to the Wright Brothers National Memorial, while Cape Hatteras National Seashore — with its wild horses, protected beaches and historic lighthouse — is about 40 km (25 miles) south. Summer brings the busiest beach and water-sports season; spring and autumn are quieter, with milder weather that suits walking, fishing and exploring without the crowds.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Windjammer and are considering selling it or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your ad, and BidMyTimeshare charges 0% commission on the sale or rental — unlike a brokered resale, you're not giving up a cut of the final price.

Because The Windjammer is independently managed, resale transfers at this resort go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded developer process. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with the resort or its association: the current transfer fee, whether a right of first refusal clause could affect the sale, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and the current annual maintenance fee. A resale buyer should also clarify in writing what does and doesn't come with the week — for instance, whether RCI exchange enrollment carries over automatically or needs to be set up separately once the transfer is complete.

What Renters Look For

Renters looking for a week at The Windjammer are typically drawn by the Nags Head beach location itself — easy walking or short-drive access to the sand, the pier, and local dining — plus the flexibility of booking a specific week during summer's peak season or a quieter shoulder-season stretch in spring or autumn. Being upfront in your listing about the unit size, the week or season on offer, and proximity to the beach and downtown Nags Head will help renters judge whether it fits their trip.

Practical Notes

Anyone exchanging into The Windjammer through RCI should book exchange requests well ahead of the summer peak, when Outer Banks demand is highest. Coastal weather on this barrier island can shift quickly, so packing layers and checking forecasts before travel is worthwhile regardless of season. A vehicle is useful for reaching attractions further down the Outer Banks, such as Cape Hatteras, since they sit beyond comfortable walking distance from Nags Head itself.
