Wyndham at The Cottages

The Resort and Its Setting

Wyndham at The Cottages is a Club Wyndham vacation ownership property built around cottage-style residences rather than a single tower block, giving it a more residential, low-key feel than many beachfront resorts. It sits right in North Myrtle Beach, putting owners within easy reach of the shoreline without the density of some of the more built-up pockets of the Grand Strand. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it also gives members a route into a wider exchange network if they'd rather use their week somewhere else entirely.

North Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand

North Myrtle Beach is the calmer sibling of Myrtle Beach proper — long beaches, a strong fishing and golf culture, and a community feel that still suits families and couples alike. Barefoot Landing, a waterfront shopping and dining village on the Intracoastal Waterway, is only a couple of miles away, and Cherry Grove Pier is a short drive for sunrise fishing or an evening stroll. Head south and you'll reach the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, with its shops, rides and oceanfront restaurants, plus Huntington Beach State Park for marshland trails and birdwatching. Golf is a year-round draw across the whole area, and seafood restaurants are plentiful, though many fill up fast in peak summer weeks.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Listing a week at Wyndham at The Cottages on BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner sale: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you directly through the platform, and the marketplace charges a one-time listing fee rather than taking a commission on the sale — so you keep the full sale price.

Before you price your week, it's worth knowing how Club Wyndham handles ownership changes. According to Club Wyndham, transferring a resale into a new owner's name carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, which the buyer typically factors into their offer. Club Wyndham does not publish a standard timeframe for completing a transfer, so build some flexibility into your timeline and keep the paperwork moving promptly on your end.

Buyers should also understand what they are — and aren't — getting with a resale week. Club Wyndham states that resale points do not carry VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners benefits, so be upfront about this when listing: it affects what a buyer can do with the ownership and should be reflected in your price. Owners have also reported that only some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, and that it's rarely exercised in practice — but it's worth checking your specific contract before you commit to a sale, since it can occasionally affect timing.

If you're renting out your week instead of selling, be clear with renters about what's included — the cottage-style unit, access to the RCI exchange network if relevant to how you book, and any seasonal variation in availability — since renters at this resort are typically looking for beach proximity and a relaxed, less congested setting compared with central Myrtle Beach.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Sellers

Anyone buying a resale week here should ask the seller for the current annual maintenance fee and confirm it directly, since figures change year to year and aren't something to guess at. It's also sensible to check whether a specific contract carries a right of first refusal before finalising a deal, and to budget for the $399 transfer processing charge on top of the agreed sale price. Sellers, for their part, should have their contract details and any annual fee statements ready to share, since buyers researching Club Wyndham resales will expect this information upfront.

Planning a Stay

Whether you're an owner using your own week or a renter booking through someone else, North Myrtle Beach rewards a bit of advance planning — especially for summer dates, when both accommodation and restaurant tables get booked up early.
