Kihei Cove
2181 Iliili Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Kihei Cove is a small, single-building condo of just six two-bedroom homes spread across two floors, with ocean views from a quiet residential pocket of Kihei. Built in 1980, every unit shares the same two-bedroom, two-bath layout in the 714 to 717 square foot range, so there is no guessing between floor plans, just a straightforward, compact home with a view of the water.
Kihei Cove's A-1 zoning appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, meaning the county has entitled it for short-term rental use, subject to Bill 9's phase-out by January 1, 2031. Other sources describing this specific building report vacation rental isn't currently in practice here, which may reflect the association's own rules rather than the county entitlement. What it offers day to day is a small, low-key building with a recreation area, beach access, and on-site storage for the six households who live here. Confirm current rules directly with Diane before making rental-income plans.
