Laule'a
980 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Laule'a, also known locally as the Maui Schooner, is an oceanfront resort of 58 units across two four-story buildings with an elevator, built in 1984 directly on the sand in Kihei. Layouts range from one-bedroom, one-bath units near 598 to 874 square feet up to a single large three-bedroom, three-bath unit at 1,160 square feet, with the bulk of the property made up of two-bedroom, two-bath homes between 872 and 1,190 square feet. The grounds carry a full resort amenity package: pool, hot tub, putting green, tennis, and shuffleboard, all a short walk from the water.
Ownership at Laule'a is structured as a timeshare, not a standard whole-ownership condominium purchase, so buyers typically hold a fractional interest or a set period of use rather than owning a full unit outright. Vacation-style occupancy is built into that structure, but long-term rental is not permitted here, the opposite arrangement from a standard fee-simple condo. If a timeshare purchase is not what you have in mind, it is worth clarifying the ownership structure with Diane early in your search.

Short-term rental status
Laule'a is a vacation-ownership (timeshare) resort, not a standard fee-simple condominium, so ownership is typically fractional or points-based rather than a full unit purchase. Vacation-style occupancy is part of that structure, but long-term rental is not permitted here. Ask Diane to walk you through how ownership works before you commit if this is your first look at a timeshare purchase.
