Aqua Sol Building 1400, a Hilton Vacation Club

The Resort and Its Setting

Aqua Sol Building 1400 operates under the Hilton Grand Vacations umbrella as a Hilton Vacation Club property, which means owners buy into a vacation ownership structure backed by Hilton's brand standards rather than an independently run resort. It sits in Winter Garden, a town in Orange County that has grown from a quiet citrus-farming community into one of the more sought-after residential and visitor bases on the western edge of metro Orlando. The resort's location lets owners step away from the density of International Drive and the main tourist corridor while still keeping the theme parks within easy driving range.

Winter Garden and Central Florida

Winter Garden itself is worth a visit in its own right: downtown Winter Garden, about 3 miles (5 km) from the resort, has a walkable historic core with restaurants, shops, a Saturday farmers' market and the West Orange Trail running through it. For bigger days out, Walt Disney World Resort is roughly 20 miles (32 km) away and Universal Orlando Resort around 17 miles (28 km), both comfortably reachable by car. The Orange County Convention Center, about 15 miles (24 km) out, makes this a reasonable base for anyone combining a conference trip with family time. In short, this is a classic Central Florida ownership pattern — quieter evenings in Winter Garden, full access to the parks by day.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Aqua Sol Building 1400 can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — just a one-time listing fee. That keeps more of the proceeds with the seller compared with traditional resale channels.

Before listing, it's worth understanding what changes hands with a resale. According to Hilton Grand Vacations' fee schedule effective 1 January 2026, a resale transfer carries a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee and a $102 estoppel fee (these were $715, $489 and $99 respectively in 2025, so costs are rising year on year — factor the current figures into any price negotiation). HGV's club disclosure also notes that transfers may be subject to a right of first refusal, with brokers reporting a standard 30-day window for Hilton to exercise it before a sale to an outside buyer can close.

Resale buyers should also know what they are not getting: limited Hilton Honors points conversion, no automatic elevated Honors status, no Open Season booking benefits, and no access to HGV Max. These perks are reserved for buyers who purchase directly from the developer. None of this stops a resale buyer from using and enjoying the week through RCI exchange, but it does mean the ownership isn't identical to a retail purchase, and that's worth being upfront about in a listing.

Closing timelines vary: brokers quote anywhere from four to six weeks at the fast end, up to 60–120 days for the full transfer process, so sellers and buyers should both build that into their expectations rather than assuming a quick handover.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

As an RCI-affiliated resort, a week at Aqua Sol Building 1400 can be deposited for exchange into RCI's network, which is a draw for both long-term owners and resale buyers who want flexibility beyond Winter Garden. Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for a Central Florida base that isn't right on top of the parks — confirm with the owner what's included in the rental (unit size, dates, any resort fees), since specifics aren't standardised across Hilton Vacation Club properties. Anyone buying or renting should also ask about the current annual maintenance fee directly, as this isn't fixed and will affect the real cost of ownership.
