Kanai A Nalu
250 Hauoli St, Wailuku, HI 96793
Kanai A Nalu keeps things simple: all eighty units across five four-story buildings share the same two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan at 952 square feet, built in 1977 directly on Maalaea Bay. A pool, BBQ area, and elevator serve the grounds, with beach access steps away and the bay's calm water and whale-watching season, December through April, right out front.
Kanai A Nalu is a leasehold property, and its underlying lease runs to December 2074, a notably longer runway than most other Maalaea buildings, worth confirming with a lender since leasehold terms affect financing. Available records show vacation rental is currently allowed and zoning is listed as A-2, though Maalaea sits outside the Minatoya list framework used in South and West Maui, so this has not been independently confirmed.
