Maui Sands
3559 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Maui Sands sits directly on the ocean along Lower Honoapiilani Road in Honokowai, six two-story buildings built in 1966 spread across a beachfront parcel. Units are compact by today's standards, one-bedroom homes at 562 square feet and two-bedroom, one-bath layouts at 888 square feet, but the location is direct beachfront with a pool, clubhouse, and BBQ area on site.
Maui Sands is a leasehold property, with the underlying land lease running through June 30, 2037. That's a real factor in resale value and financing as the lease term shortens, and it's worth working through with your lender before writing an offer. Vacation rental is allowed here alongside long-term rental; confirm current zoning and any Minatoya-list status directly with Diane before counting on short-term rental income, since that has not been independently verified against the county's official list for this building.
