Kalama Gardens
36 Walaka St, Kihei, HI 96753
Kalama Gardens is about as small and unassuming as Kihei condo living gets: just 6 homes in a single two-story building on Walaka Street, built in 1977. Every unit shares the same layout, a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home at 936 square feet, so there's no guesswork on floor plan when shopping this building. There's no pool, no gym, and no gated entry, just beach access nearby and garden views, a bare-bones setup for buyers who don't need resort trimmings.
Short-term rental isn't permitted at Kalama Gardens per available records, so it's not a building set up for vacation turnover. Long-term rentals are still a normal part of the mix, which keeps it a workable hold for buyers looking for tenant income rather than weekly guests. It's a straightforward, low-maintenance option for anyone who wants a small footprint in Kihei without the amenities package or the price tag that comes with it.
