The Ironwoods
1 Ironwood Ln, Kapalua, HI 96761
The Ironwoods is a gated, beachfront enclave at Kapalua, built in 1979 with just 41 homes spread across ten low-rise buildings on over 9 acres. Layouts run large here, from two and three-bedroom units up to a standalone five-bedroom, seven-bath residence at 4,735 square feet, with a swimming pool, tennis court, and direct beach access shared among a small, low-density community.
County zoning records describe the property as apartment-use (A-2), the same classification carried by several of Kapalua's older rental-eligible buildings, though this has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official published short-term occupancy list. If you're weighing this alongside Kapalua's confirmed Minatoya-listed communities, ask Diane to verify current rental status before you buy.

Short-term rental status
County zoning records describe The Ironwoods as apartment-use (A-2), a classification shared by several of Kapalua's older rental-eligible communities, but this has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official published short-term occupancy list. If that designation holds up, an apartment-zoned building with active vacation rental would typically fall under Maui's Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out on the West Maui timeline. Ask Diane to verify current zoning and rental status before you count on rental income.
