Wapato Point Tennis Association

The Resort & Its Setting

Wapato Point Tennis Association is an independently run, RCI-affiliated timeshare resort located in Manson, on the north shore of Lake Chelan in North Central Washington. Unlike resorts tied to a large hotel brand, it's owned and managed through its own association, which tends to mean a more personal, community-run feel rather than a chain-style operation. Owners hold a week here under a timeshare ownership structure, with the option to use RCI's exchange network to trade their time for stays elsewhere.

Manson & North Central Washington

Manson sits in one of Washington's best-known wine-growing areas, with vineyards, tasting rooms and cellar-door tours within easy reach — local wineries are only a short drive away, making this a practical base for a few days of tasting. Lake Chelan itself is the area's main draw, with water sports and lakeside dining nearby, while the Cascade Mountains (about a 40-minute drive away) offer hiking, scenic drives and alpine views for a change of pace. Further afield, day-trippers sometimes head toward Seattle for Lake Union and Snoqualmie Falls, though those make for a longer excursion rather than a quick outing. It's a region that suits owners who want wine-country relaxation one day and mountain air the next, rather than a beach-and-pool resort circuit.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Wapato Point Tennis Association and are considering moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your ad, and — unlike agency resales — we take 0% commission on the sale, so what you agree with a buyer is what you keep.

Because Wapato Point Tennis Association is independently managed, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association rather than a branded corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the association directly to confirm the current transfer fee, the annual maintenance fee, and whether any right of first refusal is attached to the deed. These details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so confirm everything in writing before closing. A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded week (or points, depending on your contract type) along with ongoing maintenance fee obligations, but won't inherit any loyalty perks or promotional extras tied to your original purchase — only what's written into the deed and association rules transfers.

If your week is RCI-affiliated, make sure your RCI membership and any exchange deposits are sorted out separately from the resort transfer, since exchange credits generally don't carry over automatically to a new owner.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters considering a week here are usually drawn by the wine-country and lake setting rather than a long list of on-site amenities, so be upfront in your listing about unit size, view, and which weeks (and season) you're offering. Spring and autumn, the shoulder seasons, can appeal to visitors wanting quieter wineries and cooler hiking weather, while summer suits lake-focused stays.

Practical Notes for Owners & Buyers

Manson is a small community, so renters and buyers should plan dining and shopping ahead or be ready to drive to nearby Chelan for more options. Washington has distinct seasons, so check what's realistically open and enjoyable at the time of year your week falls. Always confirm current amenities, booking windows, and exchange details directly with the resort or association, since these can change and aren't something a listing site can verify on your behalf.
