Club Wyndham Shearwater

The Resort & Setting

Club Wyndham Shearwater is a Club Wyndham property in Princeville, on Kauai's north shore, at 3730 Kamehameha Rd. Google reviewers rate it 4.7 out of 5 from 209 reviews, and the general description points to airy 1-bedroom villas with free WiFi, an outdoor pool, a hot tub and massage services. It's a lodging-style resort rather than a sprawling resort complex, which suits owners and renters who want a villa base with a few shared amenities rather than an extensive amenity package.

The Area and Things to Do

Princeville is one of Kauai's best-known north shore communities, perched above dramatic coastline and within easy reach of the island's most photographed scenery. The town itself has a relaxed, residential feel, with golf, a small shopping centre and access to the north shore's beaches and trails nearby. This part of Kauai is popular with travellers drawn to hiking, snorkelling and simply slowing down, and Princeville's location makes it a convenient base for exploring the north shore without needing to move around the island constantly.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Club Wyndham Shearwater can list it for resale or rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to post their week.

Before listing, it's worth understanding what actually happens on resale. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership from seller to buyer involves a $399 ownership change processing charge, which covers the paperwork needed to put the contract in the new owner's name. Club Wyndham's own materials note that only some Club Wyndham Access contracts — generally those from around 2017 onward — carry a right of first refusal, and owners who've been through the process report it's rarely exercised in practice, though some brokers describe the clause more broadly. It's sensible to check your specific contract on this point before agreeing on a sale.

Buyers should also know what resale ownership does not include: Club Wyndham is clear that resale-acquired points cannot be used for VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners. These perks stay with developer-purchased points only. Club Wyndham does not publish a standard transfer timeline, so sellers and buyers should ask directly about expected processing time once an ownership change is filed.

On the exchange side, Club Wyndham ownership at this resort can be used within the RCI exchange network, which is worth mentioning to prospective buyers if trading into other destinations is part of their plan.

Renters looking at Club Wyndham Shearwater are typically after a villa-style stay in Princeville with straightforward amenities — a pool, hot tub and the option of massage services — rather than a large all-inclusive resort. Being upfront about unit size, view, and what week or points are being offered helps set realistic expectations for both renters and resale buyers.

Practical Notes

Princeville is on Kauai's north shore, a part of the island that sees more rain than the south and west sides, so travellers should pack for occasional showers even in the warmer months. There's no public information here on current annual maintenance fees, so sellers should have theirs ready to quote, and buyers should always ask for the latest annual fee alongside the $399 transfer charge before agreeing on a price.
