The Masters
For full time or part-time living on Kaanapali hillside, The Masters is one of West Maui’s most coveted residential condominium neighborhoods, known for its beautiful grounds and ocean views. The Masters is a gated community with onsite management and security, tennis courts, two swimming pools, and hot tub spas. Located just above the Royal Kaanapali Golf Course, the Masters is less than a mile to Kahekili Beach Park, also known as “Airport Beach.” This is a popular swimming beach and there are places to snorkel, dive, and paddle. There is public parking at the beach park, and a grassy area with a picnic pavilion, and charcoal grills. Make your way down the beach path for a pau hana at Dukes to the north or Castaways to the south, or simply enjoy the beach and take in a beautiful sunset.
The Masters at Kaanapali was developed and built around 1990 by Onbayashi Hawaii Corporation, a Japanese construction company. There are a total of 198 units spread out between 35 two-story buildings on nearly 38 acres. The floor plans range from 901 interior square feet for a 1-bedroom to up to 2156 interior square feet for the very largest floor plan. Most units are 2-bedroom units, ranging from 1512 – 1544 interior square feet. The covered lanais are typically around 200 additional square feet, expanding the living space.
Many units have at least a few steps either up or down to get to the front door. There are very few units with a completely level access from the parking area.
Owners can keep a golf cart on property and for a nominal monthly fee and use the golf cart charging stations. The golf carts can be parked in the same spaces as the cars along with a car, in a guest space, or pending availability, stored in the storage area. Motorcycles are not allowed to be driven within the Masters due to noise.
There are fruit trees on the property – lemon, lime, oranges, and banana. Enjoy the beauty of this special site on Kaanapali Hillside in a private community without the need to do yardwork.
