We manage three units (two 2-bedrooms and one 1-bedroom) at the Palms, and of the 73 units in our rental portfolio, they’re among the favorites. Our reviews tell the story: of 51 total reviews for these three units (Palms 703, 705, and 801), we’ve received 47 5-Star notices, four 4-star, and one 3-star.

Our occupancy has been through the roof, even through the recently challenging times. Unit 703 was occupied 86% of the time, while units 703 and 801 averaged 92%. Rates for 703 and 705 averaged around $535 per night with a peak of $650, while unit 801, the 1-bedroom, rented at $300-339 per night.
Our rates were down over 2023 by approximately 10% (island rates as a whole were down 23%) and our occupancy was approximately 20% higher than other management companies at comparable complexes. We attribute this to great reviews, aggressive marketing, and excellent guest service.
We’re a low-volume management service (Vacation-Maui.net), with just 70 units under management, and we’re intentionally small. Our team is committed to providing the ultimate guest experience, and with more than 4,000 reviews and a 4.85+ overall average across all of our properties, we’re succeeding. Our unit care is on point. We’re locally based and our ownership is very hands-on.
