Westgate Leisure Resort

The Resort & Setting

Westgate Leisure Resort is a Westgate Resorts property at 6950 Villa De Costa Dr, in the stretch of Orange County best known for its proximity to Orlando's big theme parks. Google reviewers (1,254 of them, averaging 4.1/5) describe it as a laid-back, villa-style retreat rather than a high-rise hotel. On site, owners and guests have access to a volleyball court, two outdoor pools and a game room — the kind of low-key extras that suit families wanting downtime between park visits rather than a resort built around one big showpiece pool.

The villa layout means units typically offer more room to spread out than a standard hotel floor plan, which is part of the draw for groups travelling together.

The Area & Things to Do

Orlando needs little introduction as a holiday base: it's the gateway to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando, all within a reasonable drive of International Drive. Away from the parks, the wider International Drive corridor has its own mix of outlet malls, mini-golf, dinner shows and chain restaurants, so there's plenty to fill an evening without a long drive. Orlando International Airport is the usual arrival point for most owners and renters, and the city's year-round warm climate means the resort sees visitors across most seasons, though summer and the main school holidays are the busiest and priciest times to travel.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Westgate Leisure Resort and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee rather than taking a commission on the sale.

Before you price your week, it helps to know what a transfer with Westgate actually involves. According to Westgate Resorts, a resale transfer typically costs around $500 and takes 12 weeks or longer to complete through a broker — so it's worth setting buyer expectations on timing from the outset. Westgate also holds a right of first refusal on resales, meaning the company can step in and match a sale before it's finalised, though owners report this is used only occasionally in practice.

It's also worth being upfront with prospective buyers about what resale ownership does and doesn't carry here. Owners report that resale buyers are typically given a shorter booking window — around 60 days (30 days on some deeds) — compared with longer windows for owners who bought directly from the developer. Resale owners also report paying a higher internal exchange fee, around $700, versus roughly $169 for direct buyers. These details matter to serious buyers, so including them in your listing description can save time on both sides. Exchanges at this resort can be made through RCI and Interval International, which is worth mentioning if your week is exchange-eligible.

Practical Notes

When listing, gather your deed or contract, your season/week number, and any maintenance fee statements — buyers will ask. If you're unsure of your current transfer fee or annual maintenance charge, contact Westgate Resorts directly before agreeing on a price, since these figures can change.
