Overview of Maui Gardens
Built in 1990, Maui Gardens comprises 90 units across seven two-story buildings on 3.54 acres. Located on the ocean side of South Kihei Road, just a short distance from the beach, it offers convenient access to restaurants and shops. The complex has been well-maintained and offers spacious one- or two-bedroom units with one or one-and-a-half bathrooms. Amenities include a pool, a spa, and a barbecue area. Maui Gardens is an excellent choice for those seeking a comfortable and convenient place to live in Kihei or a lock-and-leave unit to call home part-time.

Interior conditions vary; you can expect anything from the original materials to ultra-high-end remodels.
What We Love About Maui Gardens
Maui Gardens is quiet and well-maintained. The community here is tight-knit, and the pride of ownership definitely shows compared to other long-term condo complexes.
What We Could Do Without
Its location right off South Kihei Road does lead to noise from passing vehicles, but many condos in Kiehi have the same challenge.

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 Maui Gardens is A-1. As per Maui County Rules, vacation rentals are not allowed.
