Hale Pau Hana

2480 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753

Hale Pau Hana is one of the larger oceanfront addresses in Kihei, 80 homes spread across four buildings up to seven stories with elevator service, built in 1970 right on the sand along South Kihei Road. The floor plan lineup is unusually wide: one-bedroom units in one- and two-bath configurations from 702 to 817 square feet, a run of two-bedroom, two-bath homes from 1,112 up to 1,770 square feet, and a single rare three-bedroom, three-bath unit at 2,824 square feet. Amenities match the scale, with a pool, BBQ area, meeting room, storage, elevator access, and beach access, plus cable TV included in the HOA dues. Pets are welcome.

Hale Pau Hana is hotel-zoned rather than apartment-zoned, which is why it doesn't appear on Maui County's Minatoya list and sits outside Bill 9's apartment-district phase-out affecting other South Maui buildings. That zoning is reported consistently by real estate industry sources but hasn't been independently verified against a Maui County zoning map, so buyers should confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
