Kona Coast Resort II

The Resort and Its Setting

Kona Coast Resort II is an independent timeshare property in Kailua-Kona, affiliated with RCI for exchange purposes. It sits on the leeward (drier, sunnier) side of the Big Island, within easy reach of the harbour, dive shops and the small-town bustle of Kona. The resort was built as vacation ownership accommodation — owners hold a fixed or floating week and either use it themselves, bank it through RCI, or offer it for resale or rent.

Kailua-Kona and the Big Island

Kailua-Kona is the commercial and cultural hub of this side of the island: Kailua Pier and the old town are about 2 km away, with shops, restaurants and the Ali'i Drive waterfront within easy driving distance. Kealakekua Bay, roughly 12 km south, is one of the best-known snorkelling and diving spots in Hawaii, with clear water and the Captain Cook Monument marking the site where the explorer first landed. Further south, Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park (about 18 km) preserves a pre-contact Hawaiian sacred site and makes for a straightforward half-day trip. Inland and uphill, Mauna Kea's summit (around 58 km) draws visitors for stargazing and sweeping views, while Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, on the opposite side of the island (about 96 km), is the Big Island's signature day trip for anyone with a full day and a rental car.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Kona Coast Resort II and want to sell or rent your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to post, and that's it.

Because Kona Coast Resort II is an independent resort rather than a branded chain property, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the resort's management for the current transfer fee and the current annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally and can change, so always confirm them directly with the resort rather than relying on older listings or hearsay. Also check whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as many Hawaii timeshare associations do; this can affect how quickly a private sale closes.

What a resale buyer receives is the ownership interest itself (the week or points, as recorded by the resort) — it does not automatically include any banked RCI exchange credits or reservations already made under the previous owner's account, so clarify this with the seller and the resort before closing.

What Renters Typically Look For

Short-term renters booking a week at Kona Coast Resort II are usually after straightforward access to Kailua-Kona for snorkelling, diving, or a Big Island road trip base — not a list of resort amenities. Mentioning proximity to Kailua Pier, Kealakekua Bay and the ease of reaching Volcanoes National Park or Mauna Kea in your listing description helps renters picture their week. Since the Big Island has no public transit to speak of, flag whether a rental car is assumed as part of the trip.

Practical Notes for Owners

Since Kona Coast Resort II is RCI-affiliated, confirm with the resort or RCI directly whether your specific week or points allocation is eligible for exchange, as this affects how you market an unused week — either as a straight rental, a resale, or an RCI deposit. Keep any paperwork on annual fees and transfer procedures on hand, since buyers on BidMyTimeshare.com will ask about both before committing.
