The Palms at Wailea

A quiet, hillside complex of two-story condos set around lawns, a small creek and an ocean-view pool, about a 10-15 minute walk from Keawakapu Beach. It suits couples and families who want space and calm over resort buzz, and who don't mind a rule-heavy pool.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Creekside lawns and gardens. Guests love the landscaped grounds, with a running stream, palms, flowering trees and birds that many can hear from their lanai.
  • Sunsets from the pool deck. The large shared pool and hot tub look toward the ocean, and many guests make a habit of watching the sunset from the pool area or its viewing tower.
  • Big lanais that open to the lawn. Generous lanais, many on the ground floor right off the shared grass, work as an outdoor living room and give kids room to play.
  • Walk to Keawakapu and the path. Guests walk down to Keawakapu Beach and the Wailea beach path for morning strolls, and many also walk to the Shops at Wailea.

Worth knowing

  • Strict, shadeless pool. Families often mention firm pool rules - no toys, games or food, with a monitor - and a few note there are no umbrellas or shade.
  • AC is often bedroom-only. Many units cool only the main bedroom with a split unit and rely on fans and breezes elsewhere, so living areas can get warm on hot afternoons.
  • Road noise on the edges. Units backing onto the busy perimeter road hear traffic, sometimes at night, while guests in inner units facing the lawn report no road noise.
  • Hills, stairs and shared grills. The grounds are hilly, some units have stairs, and the beach walk back is uphill with gear. Grills are communal since lanai barbecues aren't allowed.
Choosing a unit: For quiet, guests favor inner-ring units facing the central lawn and creek near the pool; units along the outer road, including several in the 20s buildings, report traffic noise, and some upper buildings sit a long uphill walk from the pool.

★★★★★ August 2026

Great location and lots of room. I do have a few recommendations please. Non skid mats in the bathrooms. Almost fell getting out of the shower.Lights along pathway to/from the car. It’s really dark at night coming and going, adjust schedule on automatic sprinklers. They were on while grilling and was spraying at the grills. Overall an excellent stay!

This apartment is excellent really! It's very clean and very well equipped. It's nicely designed with a modern kitchen and the whole apartment beautifully reminds you that you are actually in Hawaii - with all the paintings and cultural elements. The area is amazing too. Finally, Rose has been a very communicative snd supportive host - Thank for that!We might come back!Frank and Miriam

We had a wonderful stay at the Palms Wailea condo! The location was fantastic, just a short drive to all the south beaches and nearby shops, which made it easy to get around each day. The condo itself was clean, spacious, and really well equipped, with beach gear and kitchen items that made our trip so much easier with a little one. She also had a pack and play with a mattress available, which was super helpful since we didn't have to bring one with us. It was comfortable enough that we genuinely enjoyed spending our downtime there, not just sleeping and heading out. We'd love to come back again in the future!

The condo was very clean and we had an easy experience checking in. The communication was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much and will return. A couple recommendations to improve the condo: a new master suite mattress (there was a lump in the middle but it was not terribly disruptive to our sleep) and a second AC unit. Only the master bedroom had AC which made the 2nd bedroom and main area a little stuffy. Fans helped this a lot. We know some of the Palms condos have dual AC so it's something to consider if that's a critical feature for you.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was very clean, well maintained and updated. Location was okay - separate entrance from main area with the pool and had to walk up a large hill on trail and through the grass to get to pool area. TV in Master bedroom did not allow us to see any apps to login to. So we could not use the TV in bedroom.Main bath we cleaned up what appeared to be small black specs (possibly bugs) on 3 different occasions near window in tub. Front screen needs to be adjusted to close on its own.We replaced a couple light bulbs (front entry and on lanai.Sliding screen to lanai would not shut and lock.Had issue with dryer not drying but were able to get clothes dry after speaking to property manager.Despite all of this - property still 4/5

Absolutely loved it, my family and I couldn’t be more pleased. Clean, comfortable, up to date furniture. Beach equipment available in unit and easy to get . Clear view of the ocean, along with a stream of water running adjacent to the unit, very relaxing to listen to at night. Great parking space, less than 60 feet away from the front door. Host was responsive and cordial. I’d definitely go back.

Low-rise condos among the Kaanapali North Course fairways, with three pools and a rare perk: a private, staffed beach cabana on the sand north of Black Rock, a walk or free golf-cart ride away. Ocean views are rare, and the hilly grounds mean stairs.
