Margaritaville Vacation Club - St. Thomas

The Resort and Its Setting

Margaritaville Vacation Club - St. Thomas is a vacation ownership resort on St. Thomas, the largest and busiest of the US Virgin Islands. It operates under Club Wyndham, which means owners get professional on-site management plus the backing of a large US timeshare brand, and the resort carries RCI affiliation for members who want to exchange their week or points for stays elsewhere. It's a straightforward points-and-weeks ownership structure rather than a boutique independent property, which matters when it comes to resale: buyers generally compare it against other Club Wyndham resorts, not standalone island properties.

St. Thomas: The Island and What There Is to Do

St. Thomas built its reputation on turquoise water and white sand, and Magens Bay is the beach most people picture when they think of the island — calm, swimmable, and a short drive from most resorts. Charlotte Amalie, the territorial capital, is worth a half-day for its duty-free shopping, harbourfront restaurants, and colonial-era streets. History buffs can head up to Blackbeard's Castle for harbour views and pirate-era lore, while Coral World Ocean Park gives families a hands-on look at Caribbean marine life, including sea turtles and sea lions. For a different vantage point, the St. Thomas Skyride lifts visitors above Charlotte Amalie for a wide view of the surrounding cays. Between the beaches, the shopping, and boat trips out to neighbouring islands, St. Thomas keeps both repeat visitors and first-timers busy.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to move on from your Margaritaville Vacation Club - St. Thomas ownership, BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner route: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get the ad live, and that's it.

Before you list, it helps to know what actually happens on transfer. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership to a new name carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, typically paid when the transfer is processed. Club Wyndham does not publish a standard timeframe for how long this takes, so it's worth checking current status before you commit to a closing date with a buyer.

It's also important to be upfront with prospective buyers about what resale ownership does and doesn't include. Club Wyndham has stated that resale points cannot be used for VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners — so a buyer purchasing your week secondhand won't inherit any elevated owner status, only the underlying ownership and its usage rights. Owners have also reported that some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, though this is said to be used rarely. If your contract falls into that category, mention it early so there are no surprises mid-sale. The resort is RCI affiliated, and that exchange access is part of what a resale buyer is purchasing.

For renters, the appeal is simpler: a week at a branded island resort with straightforward beach and town access, without the commitment of ownership. Renters typically want to know travel dates, unit size, and whether the week suits their own plans for Charlotte Amalie, Magens Bay, or a wider island-hopping trip.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone buying resale should ask for the current annual maintenance fee and confirm it directly with Club Wyndham before agreeing on a price, since figures change and aren't fixed by the resale market. Sellers should have their contract details, unit type, and week or points allotment ready before listing, as buyers will ask for specifics early in the conversation.
