Kamaole One
2230 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Kamaole One is a small oceanfront condo community in Kihei, just 12 two-bedroom, two-bath homes in a two-story building built in 1973. Floor plans range from 933 to 1,335 square feet, larger than many of Kihei's older beachfront buildings, with a recreation area, direct beach access, storage, and cable included through the HOA. The building is also FHA and VA approved, which can widen the pool of buyers who qualify for financing here.
Kamaole One is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 2230 South Kihei Road, so the county permits short-term occupancy here, subject to Bill 9's phase-out for properties outside West Maui on January 1, 2031. Some third-party records report vacation rental as not permitted, which would be a house rule rather than a zoning limit. Long-term rental is a normal part of the mix at this beachfront address. Confirm both with Diane before you count on rental income.
South Kihei Road saw significant flooding and infrastructure damage in the March 2026 storm; ask Diane about this building's storm history before you buy.

Short-term rental status
Apartment (A-1) · On the Minatoya list · Phase-out January 1, 2031
Kamaole One is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 2230 South Kihei Road, confirmed against the county's list dated June 27, 2024, so the county allows short-term occupancy here. Some third-party records report vacation rental as not permitted, which would be a house rule rather than a zoning limit, so check the association's own documents. Long-term rental is a normal part of the mix at this address. Under Bill 9 (Ordinance 5909), short-term rental at Minatoya properties outside West Maui is scheduled to end January 1, 2031, a date still subject to pending litigation. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
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.
