What does it cost to transfer a resale week at Marriott's Kauai Beach Club?

According to Marriott, US legacy weeks carry a $25 transfer fee, while resale points cost $750 per 250 points with a $3,000 minimum, plus a $300 education fee for first-time owners. A $95 fee applies if Marriott waives its right of first refusal.

Does Marriott have a right of first refusal on resale sales?

Yes. Marriott's right of first refusal runs 15–30 days depending on the resort, meaning Marriott can step in and buy back the week on the agreed terms before the sale to a third party completes.

How long does a resale transfer usually take?

Owners report that transfers typically take three to four months from agreeing a sale to the week being fully registered in the new owner's name, so it's worth building that timeline into your plans.

The resort and its setting

Marriott's Kauai Beach Club is an upscale Marriott Vacation Club property on Kalapaki Beach in Lihue, Kauai County. It holds a 4.4 out of 5 rating from over 2,100 Google reviews, and Google's own summary describes it as an upscale resort with a golf course and dining on site, plus an outdoor pool and direct beach access. It sits at 3610 Rice Street, right where the beach meets the town, giving owners and guests a walkable base rather than an isolated resort compound.

The area and things to do

Lihue is Kauai's county seat and transport hub, so this part of the island mixes everyday convenience with classic Garden Isle scenery. Kalapaki Beach itself is a sheltered bay popular for swimming and paddling, with the Marriott's golf course right alongside. From Lihue it's an easy drive to the Wailua River area, Nawiliwili Harbor, and the dramatic coastline Kauai is known for further afield, including the Na Pali Coast and Waimea Canyon on a longer day out. The island's compact size means a stay here works well whether the plan is beach time, golf, hiking, or a mix of all three.

Selling or renting a week here

Owners who no longer use their week at Marriott's Kauai Beach Club can list it for resale or rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee with 0% commission — nothing is taken when your week sells or rents.

Before listing, it helps to understand how a Marriott Vacation Club transfer actually works, since this affects both your price and the pool of interested buyers. According to Marriott, resale transfers of points cost $750 per 250 points (minimum $3,000) plus a $300 education fee for first-time owners, while US legacy weeks carry a $25 transfer fee. Marriott also holds a right of first refusal on sales, running 15–30 days depending on the resort, plus a $95 fee when that right is waived. Owners report that a full transfer typically takes three to four months, so it's worth factoring that timeline into any sale.

Buyers should also know what a resale purchase does and doesn't include: resale points don't count toward Reserve or Pinnacle membership tiers, and resale legacy weeks can't be enrolled in Abound or converted to Marriott Bonvoy points. This resort's ownership does carry access to Interval International for owners who want to exchange their week rather than use or rent it. Marriott doesn't publish these fees on an open web page — the figures above come from the owner portal and licensed resale sources, so it's worth confirming current numbers directly with Marriott Vacation Club before finalising a sale.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Because fees and timelines can shift, sellers should state clearly in their listing which fees they're quoting (transfer, ROFR, or annual maintenance), and renters or buyers should always ask the seller for the current annual maintenance fee, since that figure isn't fixed by Marriott's resale schedule and varies by unit and season. Anyone renting rather than buying should also check which week or season is on offer, since Kauai's weather and crowd levels shift noticeably between winter and summer months.

Listing your week

A clear listing — accurate week/season, points or fixed week, current maintenance fee, and photos — helps buyers assess value quickly. Since BidMyTimeshare.com doesn't take a commission, the price you set is the price you negotiate directly with interested buyers.

Travel Tips

Kauai's weather is warmer and busier in summer, while winter brings larger surf to the north shore but milder conditions around Lihue's sheltered Kalapaki Beach. A rental car is worth having here, as the island's main sights — from Waimea Canyon to the Na Pali coastline — are spread out and best reached by road. Pack layers for hiking, since inland elevations like Waimea Canyon can feel noticeably cooler than the coast.
