Vacation Club Vacation Properties Network

The Resort & Setting

Vacation Club Vacation Properties Network is an independent timeshare property in Bellaire, Michigan, part of Antrim County in the northern Lower Peninsula. Ownership here is structured around vacation weeks or points, giving members a recurring block of vacation time each year rather than a one-off booking. Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, owners aren't limited to this single property — weeks can be deposited into the RCI exchange network and traded for stays at other affiliated resorts.

The Area and Things to Do

Bellaire sits in a quiet corner of northern Michigan known for lakes, woodland, and a change of pace through the seasons. Torch Lake, one of the state's deepest and clearest lakes, is about 5 miles (8 km) away and popular for swimming, boating and fishing in the warmer months. Antrim County Parks, just 3 miles (5 km) from the resort, offer hiking trails and picnic spots for a simple day outdoors. Further afield, Petoskey (around 20 miles / 32 km) is a well-known Lake Michigan town with galleries, shops and the famous Petoskey stones along its shoreline, while Mackinaw City (about 28 miles / 45 km) brings the historic Mackinac Bridge and ferry crossings to Mackinac Island into reach for a longer day trip. Summers bring lake-based recreation, autumn draws visitors for the fall colours, and winter opens up cross-country skiing and other snow-season activities.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Vacation Club Vacation Properties Network and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and no commission is taken from the sale — unlike traditional resale agencies that often take a cut of whatever price you agree on.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a large branded chain, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a centralised corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, sellers should confirm the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee directly with the resort or its management company, since these figures aren't published centrally and can change from year to year. It's also worth asking whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on resales, as some independent properties do — this can affect how quickly a sale closes.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the vacation week or points allocation itself, along with whatever exchange affiliation applies (in this case, access to RCI exchange once the transfer is complete and the owner is registered with RCI). Buyers typically do not inherit any prior owner's exchange deposits, banked weeks, or loyalty-style perks that aren't tied to the deed or contract itself — so it's worth asking the seller or resort what, specifically, transfers with the week.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters looking at a week here are usually after a specific window — summer for the lake, autumn for colour, or winter for snow sports — so sellers renting out a week should be clear about which season their week falls in, since that affects what a renter can actually do locally. Owners planning to use RCI exchange rather than visiting Bellaire themselves should contact the exchange company well ahead of their preferred travel dates, as availability at popular destinations depends on deposit timing and demand. Given Michigan's distinct seasons, winter travellers to the resort itself should plan for snow and build extra time into any road travel.
