Marriott's Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina & Napili Villas

The resort and its setting

Marriott's Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina & Napili Villas is part of the Marriott Vacation Club portfolio, set at 100 Nohea Kai Drive in Lahaina, on Maui's west shore. It's a classic Hawaiian timeshare property: villa-style accommodation aimed at owners who return to the same stretch of coast year after year, either staying themselves or handing their week to family, friends, or a renter. As with most resorts in this region, demand tends to track the island's high season (winter) and quieter shoulder months, which is worth factoring in when you set a rental or resale price.

Lahaina and West Maui

Lahaina is one of Maui's best-known towns, long associated with its harbour, historic Front Street area, and role as a gateway to West Maui's beaches and snorkelling spots. The wider area is popular with travellers who split their time between beach days, whale watching in season, and day trips further along the coast toward Kaanapali and Kapalua. Anyone renting or buying a week here is typically drawn by the same thing: a base on the west side of the island, close to the main West Maui attractions.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina & Napili Villas and no longer use it, you can list the week for resale or as a rental 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 only pay a small one-time listing fee to get the ad live.

Before you price a resale week, it helps to understand what Marriott Vacation Club charges and restricts on transfers. Marriott charges resale buyers of points a transfer fee of $750 per 250 points (minimum $3,000), plus a $300 education fee for first-time owners and a $95 fee when Marriott waives its right of first refusal. For US legacy weeks, the fee is lighter: a $25 transfer fee plus the $95 right-of-first-refusal fee. Marriott holds a right of first refusal on resales, which it can exercise for 15 to 30 days depending on the resort, so build that window into your expected closing timeline — owners report transfers typically taking three to four months from start to finish.

It's also worth being upfront with buyers about what a resale purchase does and doesn't include. Resale points bought this way do not count toward Marriott's Reserve or Pinnacle membership tiers, and resale legacy weeks cannot be enrolled in the Abound programme or converted to Marriott Bonvoy points. This resort does participate in the Interval International exchange network, which resale buyers can typically still use to trade their week for destinations elsewhere, but the perks tied to buying directly from Marriott stay with Marriott, not with the resale buyer. Being clear about these points in your listing description tends to save time with serious buyers.

What renters look for

Renters booking a week at a Lahaina resort are usually after a specific set of dates — school holidays, a wedding, a milestone trip — and want clarity on unit size, view, and exactly which weeks are available. If you're renting out your week rather than selling, spell out the usage year, any blackout dates, and whether the unit sleeps the number of guests they need. A clear, specific listing gets more serious enquiries than a generic one.

Practical notes for buyers and sellers

Marriott does not publish its full resale transfer fee schedule on an open web page — owners need to log into the Marriott Vacation Club owner portal for current terms, so always confirm the latest figures directly with Marriott before finalising a sale. Sellers should also have their current annual maintenance fee statement on hand, since buyers will want to see it before agreeing a price.
