After 16 years of ownership, we have sold our 2BR at Kaanapali Beach Club on Maui (closed last week). In many ways we hated to let it go because we got some great vacations over the years, but our frequency of Hawaii trips has dropped from what it was in the first ten years or so that we owned our week (only one Hawaii trip in the last 6 years) and we could no longer justify Hawaii MF for RCI or II exchanges in the majority of the years when we didn't travel to the islands.
We used Timeshare Resales Hawaii to market our week and we were very pleased with them. We listed in early July, and had a pending offer within two weeks, but the buyer never formalized a written offer. We received and accepted another offer in early September, but that buyer exercised their 7 day recession right. Two weeks later, we received another offer, and that one closed about 30 days or so later. If anyone needs to sell a Hawaii timeshare, I whole-heartedly recommend Timeshare Resales Hawaii - no upfront listing fees and all commissions are paid at closing. They also have a network of physical offices that can help bring in buyers and they have agents motivated to market your week.
This past summer we bought into the Marriott program through a deeded HHI week and a small Destination Points purchase. Hopefully Marriott will allow us some closer-to-home trips and still offer us access to Hawaii ever now and again.
We still have about two weeks worth of TPUs leftover in RCI and that plus our new Marriott ownership should fulfill our timeshare travel needs through at least 2016. Our oldest graduates college in 2017 and youngest graduates high school that same year, so once we are no longer tied to public school calendars, we may find a need for a HGVC or more Marriott points or weeks.
