Iao Gardens
2180 Vineyard St, Wailuku, HI 96793
Iao Gardens is a four-story, 39-unit building on Vineyard Street in Wailuku, a short drive from Iao Valley and the green, mountain backdrop that gives the complex its name. Built in 1978, it's one of the larger apartment-style buildings in town, with a pool, barbecue area, and shared recreation space that give residents a bit more to use day to day than the smaller buildings nearby.
Most of the building, 30 of the 39 units, are two-bedroom, two-bath homes at 839 square feet, with a handful of one-bedroom units at 511 square feet and three studios at 333 square feet rounding out the mix. Storage is available on site, and the range of sizes makes it workable for singles, couples, and small families alike. Pets aren't allowed, but for buyers who want a well-established Central Maui building with a bit more to offer than a bare-bones walk-up, Iao Gardens is worth a look.

Short-term rental status
Iao Gardens does not permit short-term vacation rental. It's a long-established, long-term residential building in Wailuku, not the kind of resort-zoned apartment complex that Maui County's short-term rental phase-out rules cover. Long-term leasing to local tenants is a normal, expected use.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
