The Point at Poipu

The Resort & Its Setting

The Point at Poipu is an independently run timeshare resort with an RCI affiliation, located in Koloa on Kauai's south shore. That combination means owners get the stability of a single home resort alongside the option to exchange their week through RCI's network when they fancy a change of scenery. Koloa itself is a former plantation town that's grown into one of Kauai's more established resort areas, with a laid-back, small-town feel that a lot of owners say is part of the appeal.

Koloa and the South Shore

The south shore is the part of Kauai people picture when they think "dry and sunny" — it gets less rain than the north side of the island, which is a big part of why resorts clustered here in the first place. From The Point at Poipu, it's a short drive to Poipu Beach, one of the island's most swimmable spots thanks to its calm, reef-protected waters, and to Spouting Horn, a blowhole formation that's worth timing with the tides. Old Koloa Town is close by for a wander through local shops, galleries and a bite to eat, and the Allerton Garden and Kauai Coffee Company plantation give you something to do further afield if you rent a car. It's an area built around slow mornings on the beach and easy half-day trips.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Point at Poipu and you're thinking about moving it on or renting it out, the first thing to understand is that this is an independent resort, so resale and transfer go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a single corporate resale desk. Before you agree a price with a buyer, ask the HOA or management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally and can change over time, so get them in writing rather than relying on what the previous owner paid.

On BidMyTimeshare, listing your week works on a straightforward owner-to-owner basis: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to get your ad live, and we don't take any commission on the sale. Buyers contact you directly through the platform, so you're negotiating with a genuine prospective owner rather than going through a broker. Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, it's worth confirming with the HOA whether that affiliation and exchange eligibility carry over to a new owner, since this varies by resort and isn't something a marketplace can guarantee on your behalf — it's a question for the resort's management.

If you're renting out your week rather than selling, be upfront with renters about what they're actually booking: a week at an independent, RCI-affiliated resort in Koloa, not a branded chain hotel. Renters interested in this area are typically after proximity to Poipu Beach and Old Koloa Town, a kitchen for self-catering, and clear dates — south shore demand tends to firm up around the winter holiday season, so pricing and availability can shift accordingly.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Anyone buying a resale week here should ask the HOA three things before committing: the transfer fee, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether RCI exchange privileges transfer to a new owner. None of these are standardised figures we can quote for you — they come directly from the resort. A rental car is close to essential for getting around the south shore and reaching attractions like Spouting Horn or the coffee plantation, and it's worth booking exchange weeks through RCI well ahead of time, particularly for winter travel when Hawaii destinations get booked up early.
