WorldMark Depoe Bay

The Resort & Setting

WorldMark Depoe Bay is a WorldMark by Wyndham property right on US-101 in Depoe Bay, a small working harbour town on the central Oregon coast known for its narrow channel to the open Pacific. The resort's own description calls it an informal, oceanfront property, and that tracks with its layout: suites come with full kitchens and private balconies, so owners and renters tend to cook some meals in and spend evenings watching the water rather than heading out for every dinner. On site there are three pools, tennis courts and a gym, making it a practical base for a family week or a longer off-season stay. With a 4.7 rating from nearly 1,600 Google reviews, it's clearly a resort that delivers consistently for the people who stay there.

The Area & Things to Do

Depoe Bay is billed as home to the world's smallest navigable harbour, and the town's seawall is a well-known spot for watching the harbour's famous "spouting horns" throw seawater into the air during a swell. The Oregon coast here is rugged rather than tropical — think whale-watching boats, tide pools, lighthouses and fish-and-chip counters rather than palm trees. Depoe Bay has a reputation as a gray whale watching hub, with resident whales often visible from shore much of the year and the spring and winter migrations drawing crowds. The coastline either side of town is dotted with state parks, viewpoints and small beaches that reward a short drive or a walk along US-101.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at WorldMark Depoe Bay and are ready to sell it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private resale and rental marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to post.

Before you set a price, it's worth knowing what WorldMark's own rules mean for a resale buyer. Resale brokers list a $399 transfer fee in WorldMark by Wyndham's 2025–2026 price lists, and a brokered transfer typically takes about six weeks to complete. No right of first refusal appears in WorldMark's documentation, so an owner-to-owner sale isn't subject to the resort buying it back first.

What a resale buyer does and doesn't get matters just as much as the price. Club Pass exchange access applies only to developer-purchased credits, so a resale buyer picking up a week that didn't originate that way won't have Club Pass exchange on it. Similarly, VIP and TravelShare benefits are reported by owners to stay with the original owning family rather than transferring to a resale buyer — so don't price (or buy) a week assuming those perks come with it. The one verified exchange network tied to WorldMark ownership is RCI, which is worth mentioning to prospective buyers who exchange regularly.

Practical Notes

When listing, be upfront about the week and unit details, any maintenance fees due, and the transfer process, so buyers can factor the $399 transfer fee and the roughly six-week timeline into their offer. Renters, meanwhile, are mostly looking for straightforward things: kitchen and balcony confirmed, pool and gym access, and clear dates around whale-watching season or summer, when Depoe Bay gets busiest. Being specific about suite size and view in your listing saves time for both sides.
