Kahana Village

4531 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761

Kahana Village is a small, oceanfront community of 42 units spread across 7 low-rise buildings, two floors each, built in 1978 at 4531 Lower Honoapiilani Road. Units run larger than many of its Kahana neighbors: 2BR/2BA layouts at 1,118 square feet (28 units) and 3BR/2BA layouts at 1,566 square feet (8 units), set around a pool, hot tub, and BBQ area directly on the water.

Ownership at Kahana Village is leasehold, with the underlying lease running to January 30, 2068, a separate consideration from rental eligibility worth confirming before you buy. Kahana Village is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 4531 Lower Honoapiilani Road, one of the few Minatoya properties in Kahana, which puts it under Bill 9's West Maui phase-out on January 1, 2029. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income. Long-term renting is also part of the mix here.

Short-term rental status

A-1 · On the Minatoya list · Phase-out January 1, 2029

Kahana Village is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, confirmed at 4531 Lower Honoapiilani Road against the county's list dated June 27, 2024. Vacation rental is allowed today, and long-term renting is also part of the mix here. Under Bill 9 (Ordinance 5909), short-term rental at West Maui Minatoya properties is scheduled to end January 1, 2029, a date still subject to pending litigation. Ownership here is leasehold, with the underlying lease running to January 30, 2068, a separate question from rental eligibility. Confirm current status and the leasehold terms with Diane before you buy.

Maui’s short-term rental rules are changing month to month, and several rezoning resolutions are live right now. See the current status of Bill 9, Bill 88 and the Minatoya list for the latest, including whether this building is named in any rezoning resolution.

If you need vacation-rental flexibility without a phase-out date, hotel-zoned condos sit outside the apartment-district phase-out entirely.
