Wyndham South Shore

The Resort & Its Setting

Wyndham South Shore is a Wyndham-branded timeshare resort in Zephyr Cove, Nevada, right on the edge of Lake Tahoe. The property operates within the Wyndham vacation club points system, which means it's used both by owners who bought directly at the resort and by members who hold Wyndham points and book a stay here through the club's internal reservation system. It's also affiliated with RCI, so owners can list their week or points for exchange against other RCI resorts if they'd rather travel elsewhere.

The Area and Things to Do

Zephyr Cove puts guests within easy reach of Lake Tahoe itself, with boating, swimming, fishing and scenic cruises on the water in the warmer months. Sand Harbor State Park, about 5 miles away, is known for its clear water, sandy beach and the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival each summer. Incline Village, roughly 7 miles from the resort, has restaurants, golf courses and access to Diamond Peak ski resort and the lake's north shore. Further afield, Mount Rose-Ski Tahoe (around 15 miles) is a solid option for skiing in winter and mountain biking in summer, while Tahoe City (about 17 miles) is a good stop for shops, galleries and outdoor outfitters on the west shore. The spread of activities across all four seasons is one reason weeks here tend to suit both ski-season and summer-season travellers.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week or points at Wyndham South Shore and want to sell, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers searching for this resort, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — owners simply pay a single, one-time listing fee to post their week.

Before you list, it's worth knowing how Wyndham handles the paperwork on its end. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership from seller to buyer involves a $399 ownership change processing charge, which covers updating the account in Wyndham's system. Some Club Wyndham Access contracts — mainly those dated from around 2017 onward — carry a right of first refusal, though owners who've been through the process report it's rarely exercised in practice. Wyndham does not publish a standard transfer timeframe, so it's sensible to build some flexibility into your sale timeline rather than promise a fixed turnaround to a buyer.

One point that matters a lot to resale buyers: Wyndham points acquired through resale do not carry VIP status, Club Pass access, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners benefits. These perks are reserved for points bought directly from the developer. Be upfront about this in your listing — buyers researching Wyndham resales usually already know to ask, and being clear about it up front avoids wasted conversations.

If you're renting out a week instead of selling, be ready to tell prospective renters which season your week falls in, whether it's fixed or floating, and whether RCI exchange potential is relevant to them — some renters want the week purely for a Tahoe stay, others are more interested in what it can be exchanged for.

Practical Notes for Buyers

If you're buying a resale week here, ask the seller (or Wyndham directly) to confirm the current annual maintenance fee, since this isn't something either Wyndham or BidMyTimeshare publishes centrally and it can change from year to year. Also confirm whether the specific contract you're looking at carries a right of first refusal, and get written confirmation of what the $399 processing charge covers before you agree a price, since this is paid as part of completing the transfer.
