Before you buy, ask the seller for an estoppel letter signed by the resort. It will cost the owner about $30. It will show the defined usage and the maintenance fees.
We've stayed at the resort every year since we bought our first week in 2004. It's our favorite vacation destination. The units are overdue for upgrading, and renovation isn't scheduled to start until at least September. It could take awhile since they don't want to take too many units out of service at a time. Aside from the need for upgrades, the two biggest complaints seem to be long walks from the limited number of parking spaces, and poor sound insulation between floors. None of that matters to us. We love the location, the landscaping, the size and layout of the units, and the friendly staff that we see year after year. When we arrive, we feel like we're coming back home. If DW would allow it, I'd buy another week. I wouldn't consider buying anything except deeded weeks.
The property next to the Point at Poipu was not sacred land. There is an area in the middle of the resort that is sacred land. They built around it and signs request that people not enter it. The property next door was sectioned off into 10 lots in 2018, each empty lot going for about $1M. Two lots near the road that have started construction, but after 18 months, this is as far as they got. Neither of them obscures the view of any P@P units.
If they ever sell the 2-3 lots at the bottom of the development, there is a chance that the ocean front views at P@P could be obscured. A house there would constantly be sprayed with salty ocean mist. The view category for each unit is written into the deeds that are registered with the state. Who would you sue to change the deeds? As far as I know, no lawsuits have been filed.
If you want to see plenty of pictures of the property, help yourself.
