Club Wyndham Kona Coast Resort Phase 2

The Resort and Its Setting

Club Wyndham Kona Coast Resort Phase 2 is a Club Wyndham timeshare property in Kailua-Kona, on the leeward Kona coast of Hawaii's Big Island. As a Phase 2 development within the wider Kona Coast Resort, it operates under the same Club Wyndham vacation ownership structure used across the brand's US portfolio, with weeks held on a points or fixed-week basis depending on the original contract. The resort is affiliated with RCI, meaning owners can deposit their week into the exchange network and book stays at other RCI-affiliated resorts instead of returning to Kona each year.

Kailua-Kona and the Surrounding Area

Kailua-Kona is the main town on the island's dry, sunny west side, known for its historic waterfront, coffee farms in the uplands, and easy access to some of the Big Island's best snorkelling and diving. Kailua Pier, about 1.6 km away, is the natural starting point for sunset walks and harbourside dining. Further afield, Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook Monument (around 12 km) are classic snorkelling spots reachable by boat or a steep hiking trail, while Kona Coast State Park (about 8 km) offers quieter beach access along a volcanic shoreline. History-minded visitors often head to Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site roughly 17 km south, and stargazers make the longer drive up to Mauna Kea Observatory, about 64 km away, for some of the clearest night skies in the Pacific. A rental car is the practical way to reach most of these, since the main attractions are spread along and above the coast rather than clustered around the resort.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Club Wyndham Kona Coast Resort Phase 2 can list it for private resale or rental on BidMyTimeshare.com. There's no commission on a sale or rental arranged through the marketplace — the seller sets the asking price, and buyers or renters contact them directly through the listing; the only cost to list is a one-time listing fee.

Before pricing a week, it's worth understanding what actually transfers with a resale. According to Club Wyndham, ownership changes carry a $399 processing charge to re-register the contract in the new owner's name. Resale points do not carry over VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners benefits — a resale buyer acquires the underlying usage rights but not these developer-only perks. On right of first refusal, owner reports indicate it applies only to some Club Wyndham Access contracts dated from around 2017 onward, and in practice it is rarely exercised, though some brokers describe the clause more broadly — sellers with an Access contract should check their own paperwork rather than assume either way. Wyndham has not published a standard timeframe for completing a transfer, so sellers and buyers should build some flexibility into their closing timeline and confirm current processing times directly with Club Wyndham or their closing company. Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, buyers researching this listing will also want to know whether RCI exchange rights pass to a resale owner before finalising an offer.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

Renters and buyers typically look for a usable week (confirming whether it's fixed or floating, and the points value if applicable), the current annual maintenance fee, and whether the week suits peak-season travel from December to March or the quieter months from May to September, when the Kona coast still enjoys its characteristically dry, sunny weather. The closest airport is Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (KOA), about 10 km south of downtown Kailua-Kona — a relevant detail for anyone comparing travel convenience against other Big Island resorts.
