Kanoe Apartments
2050 Kanoe St, Kihei, HI 96753
Kanoe Apartments is an 18-unit oceanfront condo community in Kihei, built in 1982 across a single two-story building. Most homes are one-bedroom, one-bath layouts between 523 and 588 square feet, with a single larger one-bedroom, two-bath unit at 705 square feet. A pool, BBQ area, recreation area, storage, and cable through the HOA round out a compact, beachfront-casual building, and pets are welcome.
Kanoe Apartments is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 2050 Kanoe Street, so the county permits short-term occupancy here, subject to Bill 9's phase-out for properties outside West Maui on January 1, 2031. This is the 18-unit building at 2050 Kanoe Street, not Kanoelani Apartments up the street at 2065, which is a separate property and is not on the list. 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. Confirm both with Diane before you count on rental income.
This stretch of Kihei's coast saw significant flooding 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
Kanoe Apartments is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 2050 Kanoe Street, confirmed against the county's list dated June 27, 2024, so the county allows short-term occupancy here. This is the 18-unit building at 2050 Kanoe Street, not Kanoelani Apartments up the street at 2065, which is a separate property and is not on the list. 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.
