Lawai Beach Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Lawai Beach Resort is an independent timeshare property on Kauai's south shore, in the town of Koloa. Units run 1- and 2-bedroom, each with a full kitchen, in-unit laundry and a private balcony — practical for families or groups splitting costs on a longer stay. On site, owners and guests have three pools and spa tubs, plus organised activities, giving the property more of a resort-village feel than a single tower block. The address, 5017 Lawai Rd, puts you directly on Kauai's quieter, sunnier coast rather than the busier north shore.

Koloa and Kauai's South Shore

Koloa is one of the south shore's original plantation towns, now a low-key base for exploring this stretch of Kauai. The area is known for calmer, more consistent weather than the rest of the island, which is part of why it's long been popular with timeshare owners. Within a short drive you'll find Poipu Beach for swimming and snorkelling, the Spouting Horn blowhole, and further afield the Kauai Coffee Company plantation. Kauai's bigger-ticket sights — the Na Pali Coast and Wailua Falls — are reachable as day trips, with the Na Pali Coast typically seen by boat tour, helicopter, or on foot via the Kalalau Trail.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Lawai Beach Resort and want to sell or rent your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list your week, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because Lawai Beach Resort is independently run, resales aren't processed through a big brand's corporate transfer desk. Instead, any transfer of ownership goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort:

- The current transfer or processing fee charged to move the deed into the buyer's name - The current annual maintenance fee, and whether any dues or assessments are outstanding - Whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales

A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded week or interval itself, along with the obligation to pay future annual maintenance fees — but not necessarily any benefits tied personally to the previous owner's account, so it's worth asking the resort what does and doesn't carry over before closing.

What Renters Look For

Renters searching for Lawai Beach Resort are typically drawn to the kitchen and laundry setup, the balcony, and the south-shore location near Poipu's beaches and restaurants. Being specific in a rental listing about unit size, view, week or season, and proximity to the pools helps a listing stand out to someone comparing several south-shore properties.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Lihue Airport is roughly 40 km (25 miles) from the resort — plan on 45 to 60 minutes' drive depending on traffic. A rental car is close to essential on Kauai, since the island's attractions are spread out along winding coastal roads. South-shore weather stays fairly consistent year-round, which is one reason owners here tend to keep returning to the same week.
