The Sands of Kahana
4299 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
The Sands of Kahana is a large beachfront community of 196 units across 4 six-story buildings, built in 1982 at 4299 Lower Honoapiilani Road. The unit mix spans one-bedroom layouts (670 to 835 square feet, one and two baths) up through spacious two-bedroom (1,500 to 1,685 sq ft, 106 units) and three-bedroom (1,730 to 2,290 sq ft, 50 units) floor plans, air-conditioned throughout, with a pool, hot tub, putting green, tennis court, exercise room, and a security building with an on-site guard.
Ownership at The Sands of Kahana is split between regular whole-ownership condos and a fractional/shared-ownership program (a one-sixth undivided leasehold interest, sometimes marketed as a timeshare), reflected in the property's R-2/timeshare zoning designation. Available records indicate the whole-ownership units converted from leasehold to fee simple around 2008, while the fractional-ownership interests carry a leasehold running to June 1, 2036. This is an important distinction to sort out before you buy, since a whole-ownership condo and a fractional/timeshare interval are fundamentally different purchases, and it's worth confirming which type of ownership, and which tenure, applies to any specific unit for sale directly with Diane. Available records show vacation rental is allowed here, and both long-term leasing and fractional/timeshare use are part of the mix as well, so this building mixes several ownership and rental models rather than following a single pattern.

Short-term rental status
The Sands of Kahana combines regular whole-ownership condos, reportedly fee simple since a conversion around 2008, with a fractional/shared-ownership program (a one-sixth undivided leasehold interest, sometimes marketed as a timeshare), reflected in its R-2/timeshare zoning designation. The fractional-ownership interests carry a leasehold running to June 1, 2036. Available records show vacation rental is allowed, though this zoning is not the standard A-1/A-2 apartment designation that anchors most Minatoya-list determinations elsewhere in West Maui, so it's unclear whether the standard Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out applies here in the usual way. Confirm the ownership type and tenure of any specific unit, along with current rental rules, with Diane before you buy.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.

Where is The Sands of Kahana located?

Is The Sands of Kahana a regular condo or a timeshare?
Both structures exist at this property. Ownership is split between regular whole-ownership condos (reportedly fee simple since a conversion around 2008) and a fractional/shared-ownership program (a one-sixth undivided leasehold interest, sometimes marketed as a timeshare), reflected in the R-2/timeshare zoning, with the fractional interests carrying a leasehold running to June 1, 2036. Confirm which type of ownership and tenure applies to any specific unit with Diane before you buy.
Is The Sands of Kahana set up for short-term rental?
Available records show vacation rental is allowed, alongside long-term leasing and timeshare use. This has not been independently confirmed against the county's official records, and the mixed zoning here differs from the standard apartment-district designations that anchor most Minatoya-list determinations. Ask Diane to verify current status before you count on rental income.
