Orlando’s Sunshine Resort

The resort & setting

Orlando's Sunshine Resort sits on Del Verde Way in Orlando, Orange County, within easy reach of the main theme park corridor along International Drive and the Interstate 4 attractions area. The resort is a Bluegreen Vacations property made up of two-bedroom apartments, each with a full kitchen and a whirlpool tub, which suits families or groups wanting the extra space and flexibility of a self-catering set-up rather than a standard hotel room. On site, guests have access to an outdoor pool and a sauna for downtime between park days. With a 4.4-star rating from over 1,200 Google reviews, the resort has a solid track record, with guests arriving through a mix of ownership weeks, rentals and direct bookings.

The area and things to do

Orlando needs little introduction as a holiday destination: it's the base for Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld, along with countless smaller attractions, dinner shows, mini-golf courses and outlet malls that line the roads around International Drive. The resort's Orange County location puts it within a reasonably short drive of the major parks, making it a practical base for a theme-park-focused trip. Outside of the parks, the area also has golf courses, shopping centres such as The Florida Mall, and a steady calendar of conventions and events that keep Orlando busy well outside the traditional school-holiday peaks.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Orlando's Sunshine Resort and have decided it no longer fits your travel plans, you can list it for resale or rental privately on BidMyTimeshare.com. You set your own asking price, your listing is shown to buyers and renters searching for this resort, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on a sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers.

Before you list, it helps to understand how a Bluegreen transfer actually works. According to Bluegreen Vacations (now part of Hilton Grand Vacations), a resale transfer carries a transfer fee of about $500, and Bluegreen holds a right of first refusal on resales, meaning the brand can step in and match an agreed sale before it completes. Once a buyer is found and the paperwork is submitted, owners report a typical transfer time of 30 to 90 days to complete the change of ownership. It's worth building this timeframe into any sale agreement so both you and the buyer know what to expect.

It's also important to be upfront with prospective buyers about what resale ownership does and doesn't include. Bluegreen owners note that resale buyers can use Bonus Time only at their home resort, and resale purchases do not come with Premier status. Being clear about this up front avoids confusion later and helps the sale go smoothly.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for a self-catering base near the parks with enough space for a family or group, so highlighting the two-bedroom layout, full kitchen and on-site pool and sauna in your listing will help it stand out to the right audience.

Practical notes

The resort's address is 5473 Del Verde Wy, Orlando, FL 32819, and its official booking page is direct-book.com/properties/sunshineresortdirect for reference on current room configurations and resort policies. When listing your week, have your deed or ownership documents, your week or points allocation, and your current annual fee figure ready, as buyers will ask for these before committing.
