Kahana Reef
4471 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Kahana Reef is a single four-story building directly on the ocean in Kahana, on West Maui's Lower Honoapiilani Road corridor between Kaanapali and Napili. Built in 1974, it holds 88 studio and one-bedroom units sized for a straightforward vacation or investment purchase rather than a full-time family layout: studios run 341 to 556 square feet and one-bedrooms run 611 to 628 square feet. An elevator serves all four floors, and residents share a pool, a BBQ area, and direct beach access right off the building.
Kahana Reef is A-2 zoned and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, so vacation rental is allowed today but subject to Bill 9's West Maui phase-out: last legal night December 31, 2028, ban effective January 1, 2029. Long-term renting is also part of the mix here. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
