The Villas at Kahana Ridge
Ho'ohui Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Tucked into the hillside above Kahana on Ho'ohui Road, The Villas at Kahana Ridge is a newer, 2005-built community of 117 two- and three-bedroom homes spread across 8 low-rise buildings, three floors each. It's a different animal from the beachfront towers down on Lower Honoapiilani Road: larger, family-sized floor plans, fee simple ownership, and a set-back hillside location rather than a spot on the sand. Two-bedroom, two-bath units run 780 to 1,211 square feet (55 units), and three-bedroom, two-bath units run 900 to 1,327 square feet (61 units). Amenities are kept simple, a BBQ area and beach access, without a pool on site.
Vacation rental is not permitted at The Villas at Kahana Ridge. Long-term renting is allowed, and the community reads as a residential neighborhood on this stretch of West Maui rather than a vacation-rental building, worth keeping in mind if you're comparing it to its oceanfront Kahana neighbors down the hill.
