Hale Kai
3691 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Hale Kai sits directly on the water along Lower Honoapiilani Road in Honokowai, a low-rise, fee-simple oceanfront property built in 1967. Two two-story buildings hold 40 units with no elevator, a layout that keeps the whole property close to the sand, the pool, and the covered BBQ area. Storage space and cable are included, practical touches for a building this age that has kept its bones simple.
Hale Kai allows vacation rental and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, carried as Hale Kai I at 3691 Lower Honoapiilani Road and matched by address, year built and unit count. The county records the zoning as A2, an apartment district, not the R-3 that shows up in some third-party records. That distinction decides the timeline: as an apartment-district Minatoya property, Hale Kai falls under Bill 9's West Maui phase-out on January 1, 2029 rather than sitting outside it. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.

It is carried as Hale Kai I at 3691 Lower Honoapiilani Road on the county's list dated June 27, 2024, matched by address, year built and unit count. The county records the zoning as A2, not the R-3 that appears in some third-party records.

Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
Maui’s short-term rental rules are changing month to month, and several rezoning resolutions are live right now. See the current status of Bill 9, Bill 88 and the Minatoya list for the latest, including whether this building is named in any rezoning resolution.
If you need vacation-rental flexibility without a phase-out date, hotel-zoned condos sit outside the apartment-district phase-out entirely.
