Wailea Ekahi Market Update January 2014

A Tradition of Wailea

Wailea Ekahi is held in high regard as one of Maui’s most sought after resort destinations. Completed back in the late 70′s, the complex sits on a tropical 34 acre beachfront location with 296 units dispersed over three different phases.

Voted one of South Maui‘s best white sand beaches, Keawakapu sits directly in front of the neighborhood and is easily one of the best beach walks on Maui. These condos are a highly sought after due to the location, tropical landscaping, privacy, and direct beach access to Keawakapu Beach.

The neighborhood is literally just down the road from the new Andaz Hotel and is within a short five minute drive to some of Wailea Real Estate’s most favored communities:

Being the sole original focal point of the Wailea resort, the Wailea Ekahi Village boasts extremely easy access to 3 world-class golf courses, gourmet dining opportunities, and designer shopping.

A vast majority of the units have been renovated with modern touches which ultimate have raised the value of those particular units. The astutely  manicured grounds and classy Wailea beach lifestyle is hard to beat, easily the most desirable lifestyle on Maui. The units here entice visitors and owners to venture outside, enjoy the beautiful Wailea sn (330+ days a year), and explore outdoor activities that fit into your prefered lifestyle.

The community emphasizes it’s outdoor space; there is a private community beachfront pavilion with kitchen and entertainment area, 4 large, free-form swimming pools, and 2 paddle tennis courts – all placed within the village for optimal convenience and pleasure.

Market Activity

Ekahi always tops the list of Wailea’s fastest selling condo markets. They’re highly valued to investors and vacation home owner’s because of their two major selling points:

  1. They can be rented as short term vacation rentals, which will most likely generate enough revenue to pay for themselves.
  2. Second (is a little more obvious to even those just looking at a map), these are prime beachfront condos in the heart of Wailea.
