Kings Creek Plantation

Selling is really the only way you can get out of a Kings Creek timeshare. There are a couple of ways you can sell your timeshare – either using the services of a timeshare resale advertising company or a timeshare brokerage firm.

In the case of an advertising company, you would offer your timeshare for sale online and manage the process yourself through your online ad. Inbound buyer offers would be directed to you and you would negotiate the sale yourself and turn the process over to a closing company to handle the actual transfer. After the ownership is transferred and the sale is closed, the proceeds for the sale would be sent to you. All it would cost is the price of the online ad.

In the case of a timeshare broker, they operate similar to a traditional real estate firm in that an agent would handle your case and negotiate the deal on your behalf. However, because the agent commissions can run as high as 15 percent of the sale price or $1,500 – whichever is higher – this can be the more expensive option of the two.

There is no official program in place where Kings Creek will take back your timeshare. You could try contacting the resort directly, since they could be willing to listen if it is a hardship case but, unlike some of the larger timeshare operators, they do not promote such a program.

You could also try using social media platforms or more traditional means such as a newspaper or magazine. But timeshare buyers are like any other consumer these days and search online sites for deals before going anywhere else. That’s why using a website specifically designed for timeshare resales is a great option – because they are using search engine marketing strategies to target those buyers.

One option to avoid is using the so-called timeshare exit or cancellation companies. These companies charge as much as $5,000 and claim to be able to get you out of your timeshare. But the only organization with the authority to approve such a deal would be Kings Creek. These companies have also been taken into the courts and come under Attorney General investigation, so you may want to stay clear of them.

King’s Creek Plantation is owned collectively by the timeshare owners themselves. Each timeshare buyer owns a share of the resort, and their interests are overseen by the King’s Creek Plantation Owners Association. The Association has onsite managers and staff in place at the resort to manage the operation and the Association meets on a regular basis to enact policies for the benefit of the resort.

King's Creek Plantation has so many onsite amenities that you can spend nearly your entire vacation without the need to leave the timeshare resort grounds.

The Aquatic Center features a junior-size indoor Olympic swimming pool plus hot tubs and men’s and women’s locker rooms. Separate saunas and steam rooms for men and women are features accessible from the locker rooms. There are also three separate outdoor swimming pools, one each located in The Cottages, The Townes section and one in The Estates.

State of the art Cybex equipment is featured in the Fitness Center, and you can pick up necessities at the Gift Shop. Sports courts mean you can take up a game of basketball, tennis or shuffleboard – equipment is available to check out at the front desk.

Golf is also a central part of the King's Creek Plantation experience with access to the nearby Kingsmill’s River Course and Plantation Course, plus course access at Kiskiack Golf Club, Colonial Williamsburg Green Course and Colonial Heritage. For families looking for a more leisurely golf trip, the onsite 9-hole miniature golf course is just the ticket.

An Activities Center is located in the Clubhouse and hosts several activities such as chocolate-making classes and movie nights. Try painting and decorating in the Arts & Crafts room, play a game of pool or lets the kids enjoy the outdoor playground.

Wi-Fi is available and you can also check out games and DVDs for fun nights in your accommodation.

Yes, there is free, limited onsite self-parking on the property near the timeshare accommodations.

Shorty’s at The Creek and the 2nd Street Bistro are the closest, while The Catalina Grill is at nearby Water Country USA. Remember your timeshare is only a couple of miles away from Busch Gardens and four miles from Colonial Williamsburg, so there are numerous dining establishments to explore.
