Kahana Sunset
4909 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Kahana Sunset is a beachfront community of 80 units spread across 8 low-rise, three-story buildings at 4909 Lower Honoapiilani Road, built in 1973 on a stretch of protected, swimmable Kahana Bay. The unit mix runs one-bedroom (700 sq ft, 16 units) and two-bedroom in two configurations, 2BR/2BA at 952 sq ft (41 units) and a larger 2BR/2.5BA at 1,064 sq ft (22 units), with a pool, BBQ area, and recreation area on the grounds and fee simple ownership throughout.
Available records show Kahana Sunset allows vacation rental and is zoned Apartment, which would place it on Maui County's Minatoya list and subject to Bill 9's West Maui phase-out (January 1, 2029). This has not been independently confirmed against the county's official list. Long-term leasing is not permitted here, so this reads as a vacation-rental building rather than a mix of long-term and short-term tenants. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
