Kealia Condominium
191 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Kealia Condominium is a single six-story, elevator-served tower right on the beach at the north end of South Kihei Road, built in 1975 with 51 units. The mix runs from a handful of studios near 420 square feet up through one-bedroom units in the 550 square foot range and a small group of two-bedroom, one-bath homes near 730 square feet, so there is a workable entry point at more than one budget level in the same building.
Amenities stay straightforward: a pool, BBQ area, shared recreation space, cable included in the HOA, and an elevator that matters in a six-story building. Being oceanfront with a working elevator in an older Kihei building is a combination that does not come up often, and it is a big part of what sets Kealia apart from its low-rise neighbors along the same stretch of beach.
Most units at Kealia are on a ground lease reported to run through 2036, though some individual units have converted to fee simple over time. Ownership structure varies by unit, so confirm whether a specific unit is leasehold or fee simple with Diane before you make an offer.
