Maui Bay Villas, A Hilton Grand Vacations Club

The Resort and Its Setting

Maui Bay Villas, A Hilton Grand Vacations Club, is an all-suite property at 575 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, Hawaii. Google's own summary describes it as a casual all-suite hotel with airy quarters, some with bay views, an outdoor pool and on-site dining. As a Hilton Grand Vacations Club resort, it runs on a timeshare ownership model: owners hold a fixed or points-based interest in a unit and return (or exchange) year after year rather than booking a fresh hotel room each time.

Kihei and the Surrounding Area

Kihei is a long stretch of coastline on Maui's leeward (south) side, known for dependable sunshine and calm, swimmable water. It's a practical base for exploring South Maui without the resort density of Wailea next door. Within easy reach are Wailea Beach, a well-regarded white-sand beach about 9 km south, and the Snorkel Triangle, a cluster of south Maui snorkel sites roughly 15 km away. Further afield, the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium (around 25 km) makes a good rainy-day outing, while Haleakalā National Park (about 48 km) and the Road to Hana (around 89 km) are the two classic full-day drives most visitors to this part of Maui plan around. A rental car is well worth having here, since Kihei itself is walkable but the island's big attractions are not.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your Maui Bay Villas week or points yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on a sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their ad live.

Because this is a Hilton Grand Vacations Club resort, a resale here isn't a private handshake deal — it goes through HGV's own transfer process, and the fees are set by the brand, not by us or by you as the seller. According to Hilton Grand Vacations' fee schedule effective 1 January 2026 (as disclosed by owners and reported by brokers), a resale transfer involves a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee and a $102 estoppel fee. These replace the 2025 figures of $715, $489 and $99, so it's worth confirming the current numbers before you agree on a price with a buyer. HGV's club disclosure also notes that transfers may be subject to a right of first refusal, with brokers reporting a 30-day window for HGV to exercise it. Closing times vary — brokers quote anywhere from 4–6 weeks up to 60–120 days — so build that into your timeline if a buyer needs the week by a specific date.

It also matters what a resale buyer does and doesn't get. Buying resale at Maui Bay Villas means limited Hilton Honors points conversion, no automatic elevated Honors status, no Open Season booking benefits, and no access to HGV Max. Owners here do have access to the RCI exchange network, which carries over to resale buyers as well. Being upfront about these points in your listing saves awkward conversations later and tends to attract buyers who already understand what they're purchasing.

If you're renting rather than selling, be clear in your ad about the unit type, the week or points value, and whether RCI exchange is relevant to you as the current owner (it isn't something you pass on to a renter, only to a resale buyer). Renters searching for Maui Bay Villas are typically looking at suite size, bay-view availability, how close it is to Kihei's beaches, and the outdoor pool — the concrete features Google's own listing highlights.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

Before listing, gather your deed or ownership documents, your current annual maintenance fee statement, and any HGV account details — buyers and the transfer team will ask for these. If you're buying, budget for the activation, ownership change and estoppel fees on top of the purchase price, and ask the seller directly about the current annual maintenance fee, since that figure isn't fixed by the resale fees above.
