Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort

The Resort & Setting

Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort is a beachfront property at 3550 N Atlantic Ave, right on the sand in Cocoa Beach, Brevard County. Google's own summary describes it as offering "airy, laid-back suites in a relaxed resort with ocean views & a water park, plus restaurants & bars," and that matches how owners and guests talk about it: a casual, beach-first atmosphere rather than a formal resort experience. With a 4.3/5 rating from over 2,600 Google reviews, it's a well-established Westgate property with a loyal base of returning owners and renters. The resort is classed as both lodging and a spa property, so suites are paired with on-site wellness options alongside the water park and dining.

The Area & Things to Do

Cocoa Beach is one of Florida's best-known surf towns, with a long stretch of public beach right outside the resort's door. The area's biggest draw for many visitors is its proximity to the Kennedy Space Center, one of the most visited attractions on the Space Coast, along with the Cocoa Beach Pier, a local landmark for fishing, dining and watching the surf. Port Canaveral, a major cruise departure point, is also close by, making this a convenient base for anyone combining a beach holiday with a cruise. Downtown Cocoa Village, with its small shops, cafés and riverside setting, offers a quieter, more local alternative to the beachfront strip. Orlando's theme parks are within driving distance too, which is part of why this stretch of coast attracts both beach-focused travellers and families splitting a trip between the ocean and the parks.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list your week, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee and no commission taken on the sale, so you keep whatever you and the buyer agree on.

Before listing, it's worth understanding how a Westgate resale actually transfers. According to Westgate Resorts, a transfer typically costs around $500 and takes 12 weeks or more to complete through a broker. Westgate also holds a right of first refusal on resales, meaning it can step in and match a sale before it completes — owners report this is used only occasionally, so most sales go through as agreed.

Buyers should also know that resale ownership at Westgate can come with some practical differences from buying direct: owners report a 60-day booking window for resale owners (30 days on some deeds), compared with more flexible access for direct buyers, and an internal exchange fee of around $700 for resale owners versus $169 for those who bought directly from the developer. If exchanging through RCI or Interval International — both of which are available to Westgate owners — it's worth checking which network your specific week is enrolled in before you buy or sell, since this affects how the week can be used or swapped.

Practical Notes

Anyone selling here should be upfront in their listing about the week or season they own, any usage restrictions tied to resale ownership, and whether the week is enrolled in RCI or Interval International. Buyers, in turn, should ask the seller for the current annual maintenance fee and confirm the booking window that applies to their specific deed before agreeing on a price, since these details vary between contracts even within the same resort.
