Kihei Kai Nani
2495 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Kihei Kai Nani is a beachfront community across from Kamaole Beach Park II, built in 1970, making it one of the older addresses on this stretch of the Kihei coast. It sits close to neighboring Kihei Akahi, sharing the same beachfront setting near the park. The complex has 180 one-bedroom, one-bath units at 621 square feet, spread across 12 buildings.
It is confirmed hotel-zoned rather than apartment-zoned, so unlike many older Kihei complexes on the Minatoya list, it is not targeted by Maui's Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out. That makes Kihei Kai Nani, along with neighboring Kihei Akahi, one of the more rental-stable choices in this stretch of Kihei.

Short-term rental status
Kihei Kai Nani is not apartment-zoned and does not appear on the county's Minatoya list. County records show it zoned H2 and BR (Hotel and Business Resort), so short-term rental here is allowed directly under the zoning rather than through the apartment-district exception that Bill 9 is phasing out. That means Kihei Kai Nani is not targeted by the January 2031 apartment-district deadline. Zoning can still change, so it is worth a quick confirmation with Diane if rental income matters to your purchase.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
