Westgate Towers Resort

The Resort & Setting

Westgate Towers Resort is a Westgate Resorts property in Osceola County, on the stretch of US-192 that locals call the "theme park strip." Google reviewers (4.2/5 from over 2,100 ratings) describe the condos as understated but comfortable, with whirlpool tubs in the units, three on-site pools, and an on-site restaurant for nights when nobody wants to cook. The free shuttle to the major theme parks is one of the most mentioned perks — useful if you'd rather not deal with parking at the gates every day.

This is a mid-rise condo-style resort rather than a sprawling complex, which suits owners and renters who want a self-catering base with hotel-style extras thrown in.

The Area and Things to Do

Kissimmee is Orlando's theme park gateway, and Westgate Towers' address on W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy puts it within easy reach of Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and the wider US-192 corridor of outlet malls, mini-golf, dinner shows and chain restaurants. Old Town Kissimmee, with its nightly cruise-in and carnival rides, is a short drive away, as is Lake Toho for bass fishing and airboat tours if you want a day away from the parks. Shoulder season in Central Florida generally falls in late spring and early autumn, when crowds thin out and prices soften, though school holidays can override that pattern at any time of year.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Westgate Towers Resort and are ready to move it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the 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 — unlike a broker-managed resale, you keep what you agree with the buyer.

Before you list, it helps to know what a Westgate transfer actually involves. According to Westgate Resorts and figures reported by resale brokers in 2025, a transfer typically costs around $500 and takes 12 weeks or more to complete — plan for that lead time if your buyer needs the week confirmed by a certain date. Westgate also holds a right of first refusal on resales, meaning the brand can step in and buy back a unit under the same terms offered to a third party; owners report this is used only occasionally, so it rarely derails a sale, but a buyer should be aware it exists.

Resale buyers at Westgate properties have also reported some practical differences compared with buying direct from the developer: a shorter booking window of around 60 days before a stay (sometimes 30 days, depending on the deed), and a higher internal exchange fee — around $700 for resale owners versus $169 for direct buyers, according to owner reports. If exchanging through RCI or Interval International matters to you, factor these costs into your decision either way, as both networks are available at this resort.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward things: proximity to the parks, a working shuttle, clean and comfortable condos, and clear dates. Being upfront about what's included — pool access, shuttle timetable, whirlpool tub, on-site dining — helps a listing stand out to a renter comparing several Kissimmee options.

Practical Notes

Anyone buying a resale week should ask the seller or Westgate directly for the current annual maintenance fee, since this isn't publicly quoted and varies by unit size and season. Confirm which exchange network affiliation transfers with the week, and get the right-of-first-refusal and transfer-fee details in writing before any money changes hands.
