Kihei Bay Surf

715 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753

Kihei Bay Surf is a north Kihei beachfront community built in 1980, with 118 homes spread along the sand. Its oceanfront setting has made it a well-established address on this stretch of coast for more than four decades.

Kihei Bay Surf is apartment-zoned and confirmed on Maui County's official Minatoya list. Because of that Minatoya designation, it falls under Maui's Bill 9 phase-out on the standard South Maui timeline.

Short-term rental status

Apartment-zoned (A1)On the Minatoya listCurrent phase-out: January 1, 2031

Kihei Bay Surf is apartment-zoned and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, the apartment-district properties allowed short-term occupancy under a decades-old grandfathered exception. Under Bill 9 (signed into law December 2025), apartment-zoned Minatoya rentals in South Maui are set to phase out at the start of 2031. Separately, lawsuits challenging Bill 9 itself are still working through the courts with no ruling yet. Ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count 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.

Questions buyers ask

Where is Kihei Bay Surf located?

Kihei Bay Surf sits at 715 South Kihei Road in north Kihei.

Can you short-term rent a condo at Kihei Bay Surf?

Yes, for now. Kihei Bay Surf is apartment-zoned and on the county's official Minatoya list, so it falls under Maui's Bill 9 phase-out, currently set to end South Maui short-term rentals on January 1, 2031. A 2026 county measure (Bill 88) opened a path for Minatoya buildings to apply for hotel zoning and keep operating past that date, and litigation over Bill 9 is still pending, so the picture could still change. Ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count on rental income.
