Kahana Villa
4242 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Kahana Villa sits across the road from the ocean at 4242 Lower Honoapiilani Road, a 106-unit community built in 1972 across 6 buildings that range from 3 to 8 stories. The mix runs from compact studios (165 to 897 sq ft) up to two-bedroom, two-bath units (1,050 to 1,310 sq ft), plus a single standout penthouse at 5,185 square feet, unusual for this stretch of Kahana. Grounds include a pool, hot tub, tennis court, a BBQ area, elevator service, and beach access just across the road.
Available records show Kahana Villa allows vacation rental and is zoned HM (hotel-motel), which points toward hotel-zoned status rather than the apartment-district Minatoya list, so it likely isn't on the same Bill 9 West Maui phase-out countdown facing apartment-zoned buildings nearby. This has not been independently confirmed against the county's official records. Long-term renting is also part of the mix here. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
