Turtle Cay Resort

The resort and its setting

Turtle Cay Resort is part of the Hilton Vacation Club collection, having originally been built and sold as a Diamond Resorts property before the brand transition. The resort offers studios and larger suites, each with a kitchen, laid out around a tropical-themed courtyard. On site there are two pools and two hot tubs, giving owners and guests a choice of spots to cool off without leaving the property. Google reviewers rate it 4.1 out of 5 from nearly 1,400 reviews, with particular mention of the bright, well-kept units and the convenience of having a kitchen for longer stays. The address, 600 Atlantic Ave, places it right in the heart of Virginia Beach's oceanfront strip.

The area and things to do

Virginia Beach is one of the East Coast's long-standing beach towns, known for its wide sandy shoreline, the oceanfront boardwalk, and a steady run of seafood restaurants, mini-golf courses and shops along Atlantic Avenue. Staying at Turtle Cay puts you within walking distance of the beach itself, making it an easy base whether you're there for a few days of sun or a family trip that mixes beach time with the boardwalk's bike paths and street performers in summer. Outside the main beach strip, the city has a quieter, more residential character, and the wider Hampton Roads area offers plenty for a day trip if you want a change of scene.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Turtle Cay and are thinking about selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

A few things worth knowing before you list. Hilton Grand Vacations (which now administers these former Diamond contracts) has not published an official transfer or resale fee, but owners have reported paying around $250 per contract as of 2024 — worth confirming directly before you agree on a sale price with a buyer. There's no published right of first refusal on these contracts. Importantly, resale buyers do not automatically become members of The Club, and HGV Max access is not available to anyone buying on the secondary market — so be upfront with buyers about exactly what membership benefits will and won't transfer. Typical transfer processing time hasn't been published either, so it's sensible to build in some patience on both sides once a sale is agreed. The resort does participate in the RCI exchange network, which is worth mentioning to buyers who like the flexibility of trading their week for stays elsewhere.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters typically look at a resort like this for the kitchen-equipped units, the pool and hot tub access, and the short walk to the beach — all things Turtle Cay delivers based on the resort's listed amenities. Buyers researching the resort should ask current owners or HGV directly about annual maintenance fees, since these aren't published in the facts available here, and should factor in the resale-specific restrictions (no automatic Club membership, no HGV Max) when comparing the value of a resale week against buying direct from the brand.
