Kihei Kai
61 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Kihei Kai is a small, 1970-built oceanfront complex of just 24 units in two low-rise, two-story buildings at the north end of South Kihei Road. All homes are one-bedroom, one-bath layouts, with sizes ranging from about 489 to 550 square feet depending on the specific unit type, keeping the whole building at an efficient, entry-level scale right on the beach.
Amenities are simple and beach-focused: a pool, BBQ area, shared recreation space, and direct beach access, with cable handled through the HOA and a community laundry room rather than in-unit machines. It is an older, smaller building, which tends to translate into one of the more accessible price points among Kihei's true oceanfront addresses.
