Grande Villas at World Golf Village

The Resort and Its Setting

Grande Villas at World Golf Village is an independently run timeshare resort located within the World Golf Village community, just north of downtown St. Augustine. The resort is affiliated with RCI, so ownership here comes with both a fixed home base and the flexibility to trade weeks through RCI's exchange network. The World Golf Village setting gives the resort a quieter, more suburban feel compared with staying right in the historic downtown, while still keeping owners within a short drive of the city's main sights.

St. Augustine and World Golf Village: Things to Do

St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States, and its historic district is the main draw for most visitors: cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial buildings, independent galleries, and the Castillo de San Marcos fortress overlooking Matanzas Bay. Closer to the resort, World Golf Village is built around the game itself — the World Golf Hall of Fame is just a short distance away, and the wider area has several championship courses worth booking ahead for in busier months. For beach time, St. Augustine Beach offers a wide stretch of sand with water sports rentals and oceanfront restaurants, roughly a half-hour drive from the resort. Families and curious visitors also enjoy the quirkier stops downtown, such as Potter's Wax Museum, housed in a Victorian-era building.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Grande Villas at World Golf Village and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to publish their ad.

Because Grande Villas at World Golf Village is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded developer process. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the association for two things directly: the current transfer fee for changing the deed into a new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since both affect what a buyer is actually taking on. Ask too whether the resort or its board holds any right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once a sale is agreed, as this can vary by resort and shouldn't be assumed.

A resale buyer at Grande Villas at World Golf Village should expect to receive the deeded week itself and the ability to use RCI for exchanges, since the resort's RCI affiliation is tied to ownership rather than to the original buyer. They should not assume any developer incentives, loyalty points, or promotional perks sometimes offered on new purchases — resale ownership is the week and its exchange eligibility, nothing more.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters interested in this resort tend to ask about unit size and sleeping capacity, proximity to the World Golf Village attractions versus downtown St. Augustine, and whether the week falls within the RCI exchange window. Being upfront about travel dates, the general resort setting, and what's included in the unit helps a listing stand out to the right renter.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

St. Augustine has a mild, year-round climate, with spring and autumn generally bringing the most comfortable weather and lighter crowds. Owners timing a sale or rental around these shoulder months may find it easier to convey the appeal of a visit, while summer brings warmer, more humid conditions with the occasional afternoon storm typical of north Florida.
