Vacation Internationale Windjammer Resort & Beach Club

The Resort & Its Setting

Vacation Internationale Windjammer Resort & Beach Club is a beachfront timeshare property in Lauderdale by Sea, Florida. Unlike the busier Fort Lauderdale strip a short drive south, this stretch of coast is residential and low-key, with direct Atlantic access and calm, swimmable waters right outside. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it operates within one of the largest timeshare exchange networks in the world, giving owners the option to trade their week for stays at other RCI member resorts if they don't use their own.

The Area & Things to Do

Lauderdale by Sea itself is walkable, with a small-town feel, local seafood restaurants, and shops within easy reach of the resort. For a wider range of attractions, a car is useful. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, with its trails and beach access, is about 3km away, and the Intracoastal Waterway runs close by for anyone interested in boating or fishing. Fort Lauderdale Beach and the shopping and dining strip of Las Olas Boulevard are both roughly 10km south, and the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens offers a historic estate and botanical gardens in the same area. It's a destination that suits a slower pace, with easy day trips when you want a bit more action.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Vacation Internationale Windjammer Resort & Beach Club and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com is a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuine buyers.

Before listing, it's worth confirming the practical details with Vacation Internationale or the resort's owners' association, since these vary by contract and aren't always advertised: the current transfer or resale administration fee, how long a transfer typically takes to process once a sale is agreed, and the current annual maintenance fee for your unit. A resale buyer should also understand clearly what does and doesn't come with the purchase — for example, whether any banked points, RCI membership status, or loyalty benefits transfer with the week, or whether those reset under new ownership. Getting these answers in writing before agreeing a price avoids surprises for both sides.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically drawn to this resort for the direct beach access and the quieter Lauderdale by Sea setting rather than a high-energy resort scene — worth highlighting if you're listing a week for rent rather than sale.

Practical Notes

Florida's peak season for this stretch of coast runs roughly November through April, when weather and ocean conditions are at their most reliable. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June to November, so keep that in mind when choosing dates to list or travel. Downtown Lauderdale by Sea is easy to explore on foot, but a car opens up the wider South Florida area. Public parking is available locally, though spaces can be tighter during busier months, and it's sensible to book dining and any water activities ahead during peak season.
