Summit at Kaanapali Phase I
Kualapa Loop, Lahaina, HI 96761
Summit at Kaanapali Phase I is a small, gated enclave of just 17 free-standing homes tucked into the Kaanapali Golf Estates, at the highest elevation of any condominium development in Kaanapali. Built in 2001 on about 7.5 acres, its three-bedroom homes run large, from just over 2,000 up to nearly 2,500 square feet, with ocean views that come from sitting well above the resort's beachfront towers.
The complex is residentially zoned and vacation rental is reported as not permitted, which fits its character as a quiet, low-turnover neighborhood rather than a rental-driven resort building. Long-term rentals are still possible, since the restriction is on short-term stays specifically. For buyers who want a private, single-family feel within the Kaanapali resort boundary, Summit is one of the smallest options available.
