Westwood Villas

The Resort & Setting

Westwood Villas is a timeshare resort in Lake Harmony, a Pocono Mountains community in eastern Pennsylvania known for its lake, wooded surroundings and four-season outdoor appeal. As an independent resort rather than a branded chain, Westwood Villas keeps things fairly low-key: owners buy into a week or points-based vacation period at the property, with the option to use the RCI exchange network to trade that week for a stay elsewhere. There's no corporate resort formality here — it's a practical, no-frills vacation ownership model aimed at people who want predictable annual getaways without hotel-rate uncertainty.

The Area & Things to Do

Lake Harmony sits at the heart of the wider Pocono Mountains region, putting hiking trails, lakes and outdoor recreation within reach for most of the year — skiing and snow sports in winter, hiking and watersports in the warmer months. The Poconos are a long-established weekend and holiday destination for travellers from Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey, and the region's road network makes it a convenient drive-to location rather than one requiring flights. Owners and renters alike tend to use a Westwood Villas week as a base for exploring the surrounding lakes and mountain trails rather than staying resort-bound.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Westwood Villas and want to sell or rent your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay a one-time listing fee rather than ongoing commission — there's no cut taken when a sale or rental goes through. Buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of negotiations and timing.

Because Westwood Villas is an independent resort rather than part of a large branded group, resales here typically go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management: the current transfer fee for changing ownership records, whether the resort holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long a transfer usually takes to process, and the current annual maintenance fee. These figures vary by resort and aren't publicly fixed, so get them in writing before any sale closes.

A resale buyer at Westwood Villas takes on the week itself and, where applicable, continued eligibility for RCI exchange — but they won't inherit any original purchase incentives, resort credits or promotional perks that came with a developer-direct purchase. It's worth being upfront about this with prospective buyers so expectations are clear from the start.

Practical Notes for Renters

Renters interested in a Westwood Villas week are generally looking for a straightforward Pocono Mountains base — lake access, mountain scenery and proximity to regional attractions — rather than resort-style amenities. If you're renting out your week, be clear about what's included (unit size, week dates, any exchange restrictions) so renters know exactly what they're booking.

RCI Exchange Notes

As an RCI-affiliated resort, Westwood Villas ownership carries exchange eligibility through RCI's network. If you're selling, mention this clearly in your listing, since exchange flexibility is often a deciding factor for buyers comparing independent resorts against branded alternatives.
