For now, only the units sold by the resort will be in II. Everything else will remain in RCI. I haven't heard anything yet about a dual affiliation.

I could not find this resort in II resort directory.

 

[harveyhaddixfan]

I don't think its all finalized. The name still hasn't been changed in RCI either.

I don't think its all finalized. The name still hasn't been changed in RCI either.

The only place that lists the property with the new name is the Gold Key website. It isn't listed as Beechwoods anywhere else. As far as II goes I am guessing it will take a while for that usage to begin. And even then with only 84 units and prior owners staying in RCI you probably won't see many units in II for a while.

delayed

heard that construction is delayed. also anyone know where bldg 804 is located?

 

[harveyhaddixfan]

I spoke with Jennifer Walker a few weeks ago. I think she was saying most of the unit renovations would be done by the end of May. The check in building is what is delayed a few months. And the building with the indoor water park wasn't expected till the end of the year.

The 800 building is the section right next to the pool. I'm not sure of the name of that little street. I'm in 903 so the 801/802 side is next to mine. There are 13 steps just to get up to the buildings and another 3 or 4 into the first floor unit.

Update received today from RCI regarding construction and completion dates

Dear RCI Member:

We are writing to you concerning your upcoming RCI vacation to Barrier Island Station-Kitty Hawk in North Carolina.

The staff at Barrier Island Station-Kitty Hawk advised us that they have updated some completion dates for various projects they currently have in progress. The remodeling work will be in progress through June 30, 2015. The outdoor swimming pool will be closed for necessary repairs through June 20. The fitness and activity center will be closed until July 31, and the indoor swimming pool and waterpark will be closed until December 31, 2015.


When owners attended the November Owners presentation by Gold Key Resorts, we were told the unit remodels and amenities (except indoor pool/water park) would be finished up in May.

We were there mid-March. Things didn't appear to be on schedule then and Resort Manager indicated many things had been pushed back to June. For several reasons, I was banking on the information they gave back in November.

I was at an "update" in Virginia Beach last week. I mentioned that we will be in the OBX in July. The sales person indicated that they probably will be up and selling by then and I should stop by and see the property.

 

[harveyhaddixfan]

I'm there the last week of May so we shall see where they are. May have to do a day trip from Williamsburg in December to check it all out.

We won`t be staying at Beechwoods (3679) NC
because of the additional $175 week resort fee

Beachwoods (formerly Barrier Island Station Kittyhawk)

As of several months ago (Sept or Oct or Nov) the majority owner of Beachwoods is now Diamond Resorts International.

I am an EOY owner since 1999 and participated in the Nov. 30, 2015 teleconference about the 2016 budget. Most of the participants were DRI employees, as far as I could tell.
