Overview of Masters
The Masters at Kaanapali Hillside in West Maui offers gated residential living with a contemporary design with big ocean views. With 200 pet-friendly units on about 38 acres, residents enjoy amenities like two pools, two spas, and four tennis courts, along with proximity to Kaanapali Beach and local attractions. The Masters offers a tranquil retreat with stunning vistas, embodying upscale living on Maui’s West Coast.
Unit Configurations
Masters offers a range of unit configurations. One-bedroom units have 1-1.5 baths and interior square footage ranging from 901 to 1,544, and two-bedroom (the “E” configuration units have a loft that some consider a 3rd bedroom) feature 2-2.5 baths with interior square footage ranging from 1,269 to 2,156.

What We Love
The location and size of the project are top-tier. You can take your golf cart down to Kaanapali Beach or over to the resorts along South Kaanapali Beach. The size of the project makes it feel more like residential single-family homes rather than condominiums.
What We Could Do Without
One knock on the project would be the aesthetic. Some buyers aren’t fans of the exterior design and wood shingle roof. On the flip side, many owners and buyers note it gives the buildings a more natural “Hawaii feel”.

Primary Uses
Long-Term Rental
Long-term rentals are considered six months or longer here in Maui. You avoid some operations costs such as cleaning, higher management fees, and higher tax rates; however, you are likely to get more income running your unit as a short-term vacation rental. Long-term rentals also offer less flexibility for owner stays.
Second Home
If your goal is not to maximize your ROI but to simply use the unit as you please, you can do so. You would pay the highest and best use for real property tax, but you would not be subject to the TAT and GET taxes (see below) associated with income-producing short-term units.
Owner Occupant
If Maui is where you want to call home, the owner-occupant is the one for you. If you spend 270 days out of the year on Maui and your unit is your primary residence, then you can apply for the Owner Occupant exemption (frequently asked questions)
Zoning
The zoning for Masters is Residential. As per Maui County Rules, vacation rentals are not allowed.
Taxes
Taxes to consider when owning at Masters:
- General Excise Tax
- Real Property Tax (This rate will change depending on your use. You may fall under short-term vacation rental, long-term rental, or the base zoning if your unit is an empty second home or owner-occupied.)
