Koa Lagoon

800 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753

Koa Lagoon is a six-story, 42-unit high-rise directly on the water in Kihei, one of the taller buildings along this stretch of South Kihei Road and one of the few in the area with an elevator. Built in 1980, most homes are one-bedroom, one-bath layouts near 647 square feet, with a smaller run of two-bedroom, two-bath units between 965 and 979 square feet for buyers who want more space without leaving the oceanfront lineup.

Available records describe Koa Lagoon's zoning as hotel-use, which would place it outside Bill 9's apartment-district phase-out, but this has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official list. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income. Long-term tenancies are also part of the normal mix in a hotel-zoned building like this one.
