Wyndham Star Island Resort Timeshare Resales

Star Island Resort is not managed by Wyndham, so Wyndham does not have direct management oversight over the resort. Because Wyndham promotes it as a Club Wyndham resort within its network, it has access to room inventory at the resort that they make available to Club Wyndham members as part of the Club program. Members can book a vacation at the resort, subject to availability, but Star Island is not owned by Wyndham. 

Owners who own Star Island timeshare can sell them on the resale market, but the process may be slightly different depending on whether you own directly with Star Island or Wyndham points. Wyndham promotes the resort as Club Wyndham Star Island, which may give the impression that it is a Wyndham resort, but Wyndham does not manage the resort so Wyndham owners would use Club points to stay at Star Island. Therefore, Wyndham points owners would be selling their points on the resale market.

Star Island timeshare owners would own either a fixed or floating deeded week at the resort, so those weeks would be promoted to sell as timeshare resales.

In either case, owners can choose a few ways to sell, whether it is on your own, through an advertising company or with a licensed timeshare broker.

Wyndham does not have an in-house resale department, so Wyndham points owners would be referred to their Featured Resellers – and Timeshare Broker Associates is one of the resellers vetted by Wyndham as part of the program.

If an owner looks to sell a timeshare themselves, they will need to promote it, find a buyer, negotiate the sale and handle the paperwork before sending it to closing. You can try using social media or conventional media such as newspapers, but the difficulty is finding where the buyers are.

An advertising company that specializes in timeshares could be a good option. They market to buyers searching online for timeshares through sites like Google and Bing, so the idea is for owners to advertise their timeshare for sale where buyers can find them. You would still be the one negotiating the sale, but at least you would have the marketing support of the company. The main problem is that you would pay upfront for the advertising, which is the way all advertising works, so you would be out of pocket before knowing if you are timeshare will sell.

Licensed timeshare brokers, on the other hand, do not charge upfront fees and take listings similar to the way a real estate agent operates. Timeshare brokers hire agents who are licensed under state real estate law, and those agents work on behalf of owners to sell their Star Island timeshare orWyndham points.

Agents handle the promotion, negotiation, paperwork and referral to the closing company to close the sale. Since they work on commission, they only get paid once the sale is closed.

Wyndham Star Island has two outdoor swimming pools along with a children’s splash pad and a hot tub for adult relaxation.

Star Island is in the central Florida town of Kissimmee near Orlando, with access to both the east coast and west coast beaches of Florida. The most direct path to the beach would be along State Rd 192 heading southeast to Indialantic, which is about 63 miles and an hour and a half drive. A quicker drive would be to Cape Canaveral and a great beach spot called Jetty Park. It is about 63 miles to theeast, but the drive is only about an hour and 10 minutes. The most famous beach along this east coast stretch, Cocoa Beach, is 67 miles or an hour and twenty minutes’ drive time. For a west coast beach, Clearwater Beach is the most direct route at about two-and-a-half-hour drive over 93 miles.

The resort is just under five miles, or about an 11-minute drive, to the welcome gate on Disney property. The parks are a bit further, with the Magic Kingdom just under nine miles or 17 minutes from Star Island. Epcot is about eight miles away and about the same timeframe of 17 minutes’ drive time. Animal Kingdom is about a 15-minute drive. Star Island does not have a free shuttle service to Disney but offers a paid shuttle service which needs to be booked an hour in advance with the concierge. The round-trip cost is $12.00 per person, so depending on the size of your travel party it might be cheaper to book a taxi or ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft.
