The Fountains

The Resort & Setting

The Fountains sits at 12400 International Drive, right in the heart of Orlando's main tourist strip. It's run as a Bluegreen Vacations property, with a Google rating of 4.4 out of 5 from nearly 2,900 reviews — guests consistently describe it as a casual, apartment-style base rather than a traditional hotel. Units come with kitchens, which suits families or groups wanting to self-cater during a longer stay, and the resort grounds include a pool area, a spa and a couple of bars for evenings spent on site.

The Area & Things to Do

International Drive is one of Orlando's busiest visitor corridors, lined with restaurants, outlet malls, mini-golf and entertainment venues, and it's a short drive from Orlando's major theme parks — Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando are all within easy reach of this part of International Drive. The ICON Park entertainment complex, home to The Wheel observation tower, is also nearby, making this a practical base for anyone splitting a trip between parks, shopping and dining without having to drive far each day.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at The Fountains can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before listing, it's worth understanding how a resale actually transfers under Bluegreen Vacations (now part of Hilton Grand Vacations). According to Bluegreen, a resale transfer carries a fee of about $500, and the brand holds a right of first refusal on resale transactions, meaning Bluegreen can step in and match an agreed sale before it completes. Once a sale goes ahead, transfers typically take between 30 and 90 days to process.

It's also important for both sides to know what does — and doesn't — carry over to a resale buyer. Resale purchasers at The Fountains can use Bonus Time only at their home resort, and they do not receive Premier status, which is reserved for buyers who purchase directly from the developer. Being upfront about these points in your listing helps set realistic expectations and avoids surprises during the transfer process.

Practical Notes

Anyone considering a purchase should confirm the current annual maintenance fee directly with Bluegreen or the seller before agreeing on a price, since this affects the real cost of ownership each year. It's also sensible to check what week or points allocation is attached to the title, to budget for the roughly $500 transfer fee, and to allow for the 30–90 day processing window when planning a handover.
