Honokowai Apartments
3666 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Honokowai Apartments is one of the older properties in the neighborhood, a 30-unit, fee-simple complex built in 1965 across three two-story buildings just across the road from the ocean rather than directly on the sand. The mix leans heavily toward one-bedrooms, with 20 of the 30 units at about 504 square feet and the remaining ten a two-bedroom layout near 605 square feet. A shared pool and BBQ area serve the property.
Honokowai Apartments allows vacation rental and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list under the name Honokowai Palms, matched at 3666 Lower Honoapiilani Road by address, year built and unit count. The county records the zoning as A2, which settles the apartment-district code that third-party records list inconsistently, and places the building under Bill 9's West Maui phase-out on January 1, 2029. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
