The Cliffs Club

The Resort & Setting

The Cliffs Club is a vacation ownership resort in Princeville, one of Kauai's established resort communities on the island's North Shore. It operates independently rather than as part of a large hotel brand, which typically means a smaller, more personal property with an owners' community at its core rather than corporate-scale amenities. The resort is affiliated with RCI, giving owners the option to deposit their week into the exchange network rather than use it on-site every year.

Princeville & the North Shore

Princeville sits on a plateau above some of Kauai's most photographed coastline, within easy reach of the North Shore's beaches, trailheads, and small-town conveniences. This is the end of the road on Kauai — beyond Princeville and Hanalei, the pavement stops and the Na Pali Coast takes over, accessible only on foot, by boat, or from the air. Winter brings big surf and rougher water to the North Shore, while calmer summer conditions suit swimming and snorkeling. The area has long attracted visitors who want a quieter, greener alternative to Kauai's south and west shores.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Cliffs Club 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, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuine buyers.

Because The Cliffs Club is independently managed rather than run by a major timeshare brand, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate transfer department. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the association for the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee, as these vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here. Also confirm whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as some independent properties do — this can affect how quickly a sale closes.

A resale buyer at The Cliffs Club takes on the deeded or contracted week itself and, since the resort is RCI-affiliated, the ability to enroll that week with RCI for exchange purposes going forward. Buyers should not assume any banked points, prior exchange deposits, or loyalty status tied to the previous owner's account will transfer — these typically stay with the seller or simply expire. Always get the transfer process, timing, and any outstanding fees confirmed by the association in writing before closing.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters researching Princeville want a straightforward base for exploring the North Shore — proximity to Hanalei Bay, the Kalalau trailhead, and Na Pali Coast tours matters more to them than resort extras. Clear information on unit size, view, and the week's exact dates (and whether it falls during winter's surf season or the calmer summer months) helps a rental listing stand out.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Because The Cliffs Club is independent rather than chain-managed, due diligence sits with the owner and buyer: confirm the week or points structure directly with the resort's association, check the current annual fee, and clarify RCI enrollment steps before listing or buying. A car is effectively essential for reaching Princeville and the North Shore's attractions, which is worth noting for both sellers describing the resort and renters planning logistics.
