Williamsburg Resort

The resort and its setting

Williamsburg Resort sits at 1324 Richmond Rd, Williamsburg, VA, within easy reach of the colonial-era attractions that give the city its name. Operated under the Holiday Inn Club Vacations brand, the property occupies a redbrick, hotel-style building with studios and suites finished to a modern standard, a number of them fitted with whirlpool tubs. On-site facilities include a swimming pool and a fitness centre, and the resort currently holds a 4-out-of-5 rating from over 2,080 Google reviews, making it more of a comfortable lodging option than a sprawling resort complex. It's a practical base for travellers who want comfortable, apartment-style accommodation without straying far from Williamsburg's main sights.

The area and things to do

Williamsburg, Virginia, is best known for Colonial Williamsburg, the restored 18th-century town where costumed interpreters and historic trades bring the colonial period to life. The resort's Richmond Road address puts guests within a short drive of this district, as well as of Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA for visitors travelling with families. History fans often combine a stay here with trips to nearby Jamestown and Yorktown, completing Virginia's "Historic Triangle." The wider Tidewater region also offers antique shops, outlet malls, and a slower pace outside peak summer weekends, making the area workable for both a packed sightseeing trip and a quieter week away.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Williamsburg Resort and no longer use it, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it for sale or rent directly to other owners and travellers — there's no agent involved. You set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. We charge a one-time listing fee and take 0% commission on the sale or rental itself, so whatever you agree with the buyer is what you keep.

Because this resort operates under Holiday Inn Club Vacations, a few brand-specific points matter before you price a resale. Holiday Inn Club Vacations does not publish a standard resale transfer fee; the $1,200 figure sometimes quoted on the brand's own Horizons page is an exit fee for leaving the system entirely, not a fee for transferring ownership to a new buyer. Owners have also reported, on forums such as TUG and RedWeek, that the brand enforces a right of first refusal, meaning the company can step in and match an offer before it's finalised. Typical transfer processing time isn't published, so it's worth building a buffer into your sale timeline and confirming current procedures directly with Holiday Inn Club Vacations.

One further detail affects points-based owners specifically: according to reports from 2014 and 2020, resale points at this brand revert to a fixed deeded week once sold, except at three resorts (South Beach, Lake Geneva, and Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountain). If your ownership is in points rather than a deeded week, flag this clearly in your listing so buyers know exactly what they're purchasing. The resort does participate in the RCI exchange network, which is worth mentioning to buyers interested in trading their week for stays elsewhere.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Buyers researching a resale here should ask the current owner for the maintenance fee amount and due date, confirm whether the week is deeded or points-based, and check if any special assessments are pending. Renters, meanwhile, tend to look for clear check-in and check-out dates, confirmation of unit size (studio versus suite), and whether a whirlpool tub is included, since not every unit at the resort has one. Given the location on Richmond Road, both buyers and renters should also weigh proximity to Colonial Williamsburg and the Busch Gardens corridor against quieter stretches of the calendar if they prefer lighter crowds.
