Maui Gardens

1450 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753

Maui Gardens is one of Kihei's larger low-rise communities, 90 units spread across seven two-story buildings, built in 1990 without waterfront frontage. The floor plan mix leans toward one-bedroom homes around 560 to 669 square feet, alongside a larger set of one-and-a-half-bath two-bedroom layouts running from about 782 up to 953 square feet, giving buyers real choice within a single complex.

Short-term rental isn't permitted at Maui Gardens per available records, and its A-1 zoning keeps it off the county's hotel-zoned and Minatoya lists. Long-term rental is still a normal part of the mix here. The amenity list is built for a community this size: a pool, hot tub, tennis court, BBQ area, and beach access, with cable included through the HOA, though the building is not pet-friendly.
