Wailea Palms
3150 Wailea Alanui Dr, Wailea, HI 96753
Wailea Palms is built deliberately for quiet enjoyment. One hundred twenty homes spread across sixteen two-story buildings on 14.5 gated acres, with wide greenbelts and generous spacing that set it apart from Wailea's denser resort-style complexes. Built in 1992, it offers one and two-bedroom floor plans with lanais that catch trade winds and, from many units, sweeping views toward Molokini, Kahoolawe, and the West Maui Mountains.
Wailea Palms does not permit short-term vacation rentals, a deliberate choice that keeps the community residential rather than a rotating door of vacation guests, though long-term tenants are still part of the normal mix here, since the restriction is on short-term stays specifically. That makes it a real alternative for buyers who want to own in Wailea without living next to a short-term rental unit.

Short-term rental status
Wailea Palms is apartment-zoned (A1), the same zoning category as Minatoya-list complexes like Wailea Ekahi, but it does not appear on Maui County's Minatoya list and its own covenants prohibit short-term vacation rental, permitting only longer-term leases. Built in 1992, it was never grandfathered onto the list the way older complexes that were already renting short-term were. That combination makes it one of the more reliably residential options in the resort. Confirm current rules with Diane before you buy.
