Kulakane Apartments

3741 Lower Honoapiilani Hwy, Lahaina, HI 96761

Kulakane Apartments is a beachfront building in Honokowai, a three-story walk-up on 1.16 acres built in 1970. The 42 units split between 28 one-bedroom, one-bath layouts from about 499 to 849 square feet and 14 two-bedroom, two-bath units from roughly 858 to 1,287 square feet, some of the larger floor plans on this stretch of coast. The property isn't gated, and residents share a beachfront pool, BBQ area, and direct beach access.

Kulakane is zoned B-2 (Community Business), a rarity among the mostly apartment-zoned buildings on this stretch of Honokowai. Because it's business-zoned rather than apartment-zoned, it falls outside Maui County's Minatoya list and outside Bill 9's West Maui apartment-district phase-out (January 1, 2029), which only applies to A-1/A-2 zoned buildings. Vacation rental is currently allowed here. Confirm current zoning and rental status with Diane before counting on rental income.
