Don't Buy A Condo on West Maui Until You've Seen These Properties
Maui is a highly desirable place to live, thanks to its stunning coastline, lush valleys and year-round sunny climate. West Maui in particular boasts the island’s most famous beaches, which have views over the neighboring islands of Lanai and Moloka’i. This means that West Maui is the home of some of the best sunsets the world has to offer and is an amazing place to own a condo.
There are various types of condos available in West Maui, and whether you are looking for a complex that allows short term rentals or a complex that only allows long term living will influence where you buy.
Short term rentable condos are common in West Maui because they allow you to generate a significant amount of rental income from nightly and weekly rentals, as well as giving you the opportunity to stay at the condo as much as you want yourself. However if you want to live on Maui or have a vacation condo you’d prefer not to rent out, a long-term complex will provide the best solution.
Honua Kai Resort and Spa
The Honua Kai Resort & Spa is located on the famous Kaanapali North Beach. It is a luxury resort that offers spectacular views of the West Maui Mountains and the Pacific Ocean and allows short term rentals. The resort opened in 2009, making it one of the newest resorts in the neighborhood. Spread over 38 acres by the beach, the 600 condos in the resort are available in 1,2 or 3 bedroom layouts, ranging from around 600 sq ft to 1750 sq ft. As a five star resort, each condo has a high end, gourmet kitchens, large private lanais, and air conditioning throughout.
The amenities at Honua Kai are superb, such as the well-kept gardens that are abundant in tropical flowers and plants. You’ll have access to the resort’s fitness centers and spa, restaurants, hot tubs, and concierge service. The resort also has a large aquatic area, which has various swimming and wading pools, fountains, and waterslides. Imagine yourself whale watching from the spacious lanai while you enjoy a Mai Tai!

Coconut Grove Kapalua Luxury Condos
Coconut Grove is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Hawaii. It’s a private, gated community that sits on 12 acres of beachside land, and is made up of 9 buildings with 4 luxury residences in each. Each condo has 3 bedrooms and ranges from approximately 2500 to 2900 sq ft in size. The family and friends of owners at Coconut Grove are always welcome here, but short term rentals of fewer than 6 months are prohibited.

Condos here, therefore, benefit from beautiful views and direct beach access, as well as amenities such as a pool with wooden decking, a whirlpool spa, and a fitness center. Due to Coconut Grove being more of a residential complex, there are no on-site dining facilities.
