Point at Poipu, a Hilton Vacation Club

The Resort & Setting

Point at Poipu, a Hilton Vacation Club (formerly a Diamond Resorts property), sits at 1613 Pe'e Rd in Koloa, in Kauai County. Google reviewers rate it 4.4 out of 5 from over 1,500 reviews, and the resort lives up to its reputation: airy suites set among lush gardens, an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a gym and casual on-site dining. It's a suite-style resort built around comfortable, self-contained accommodation rather than a hotel tower, which suits owners who use the kitchen and living space as much as the beach.

Koloa, Poipu & the South Shore

Koloa is a small former sugar-plantation town that now serves as the gateway to Poipu, Kauai's best-known south shore beach area. The region is known for its dependable sunshine (it sits in the lee of the island's mountains, so it sees far less rain than the north shore), making it a popular year-round draw for snorkelling, beach walks, and watching spinner dolphins and green sea turtles close to shore. Old Koloa Town, a short drive or walk away, has a handful of plantation-era buildings now home to shops, galleries and restaurants — a good option for an evening out without leaving the area.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Point at Poipu and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters searching for this resort, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's a small one-time listing fee to post your week — we don't take a cut of your sale or rental, so there's 0% commission on whatever you agree with a buyer.

Before you list, it's worth knowing how a Hilton Vacation Club (ex-Diamond) resale actually works, since it affects what you can promise a buyer:

- **Transfer/resale fee:** Not officially published by the brand. Owners on forums such as TUG have reported paying around $250 per contract (reported March 2024) to process a transfer — budget for this and confirm the current figure before closing. - **Right of first refusal:** None has been reported for this contract type, but always check your own deed and club documents to be sure. - **What a resale buyer does and doesn't get:** According to Hilton Grand Vacations/Diamond's club disclosure, resale buyers do not automatically become members of "The Club," and they are not eligible for HGV Max. This is an important point to disclose upfront — buyers should know they're purchasing usage rights, not automatic club membership or elite program access. - **Typical transfer time:** Not published by the brand, so build in some flexibility when agreeing a closing date with a buyer. - **Exchange networks:** Owners here can use RCI and Interval International for exchanges, which is a genuine selling point if you want to swap your week for travel elsewhere.

What Renters Look For

Renters researching Point at Poipu are typically after Koloa's reliable south-shore weather, the resort's garden setting and pool/hot tub facilities, and suite-style accommodation with a kitchen — useful for families or longer stays. Being upfront about unit size, view, and the exact week or points value helps your listing stand out to serious renters.

Practical Notes for Sellers

Have your contract details, current annual maintenance fee, and week/points allocation ready before listing — buyers will ask. Since the transfer fee and process aren't standardised by the brand, mention in your listing that the buyer should confirm the current transfer fee and any club membership limitations (no automatic Club enrolment, no HGV Max) directly, so there are no surprises at closing.
