The Gardens at West Maui

5500 Honoapiilani Hwy, Kapalua, HI 96761

The Gardens at West Maui sits at 5500 Honoapiilani Highway in Kapalua, set back from the water with 34 units across four buildings built in 1989. Unit sizes range from 482-square-foot studios to one-bedroom, two-bath layouts of 596 to 744 square feet. Amenities are limited to the basics here, a BBQ area and beach access, without the pool or resort trimmings found at some of its neighbors.

The Gardens at West Maui operates as a timeshare, or fractional-ownership, property rather than a standard fee-simple condominium, so it is worth understanding that structure before comparing it to a traditional condo. Vacation use is part of the timeshare itself, while long-term rental of an interval is not permitted. If a timeshare or fractional-ownership structure is not what you are looking for, this is worth clarifying with Diane early in your search.

Short-term rental status

The Gardens at West Maui is a timeshare, or fractional-ownership, property, not a standard fee-simple condominium, so the usual Minatoya list and Bill 9 apartment-district framework do not apply in the same way. Vacation use is part of the timeshare structure itself, while long-term rental of an interval is not permitted. Ask Diane to walk you through how ownership and usage work here before you commit.
