Hana Kai-Maui
Uakea Rd, Hana, HI 96713
Hana Kai-Maui sits right on the water on Uakea Road, an oceanfront condo building in the small, remote town at the end of the Road to Hana. Built in 1974 across two low-rise buildings, its 20 homes run from cozy studios (347 to 413 square feet) up to one- and two-bedroom units (up to 891 square feet), simple, unpretentious homes with a rare oceanfront setting in one of Maui's most secluded corners.
Unlike the operating hotel-condo property nearby, Hana Kai-Maui is a standalone building, and both short-term and long-term rental are allowed here, giving owners real flexibility. It's apartment-zoned and on the county's Minatoya list, which is the basis for that short-term rental use, so it's also subject to Bill 9's phase-out of short-term rental in apartment-zoned buildings outside West Maui, with a January 1, 2031 deadline. Some listings describe it as FHA and VA loan approved, worth confirming directly since that status can change. Amenities are simple: a pool, a BBQ area, and beach access, matched to Hana's quiet, end-of-the-road pace rather than a resort crowd.

Short-term rental status
Both short-term and long-term rental are allowed at Hana Kai-Maui under current records, giving owners flexibility that's uncommon this far from Maui's resort areas. It's apartment-zoned and appears on the county's Minatoya list, which is what makes that short-term rental use possible, so it's also subject to Bill 9's (Ordinance No. 5909) phase-out of short-term rental in apartment-zoned buildings outside West Maui, with a January 1, 2031 deadline. Buyers should confirm current rules and timeline with Diane before counting on rental income.
