Lanakila
992 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Lanakila is a small, low-rise community of 18 units spread across three two-story buildings in Kihei, built in 1981 on the mauka side of South Kihei Road, across the street from the ocean. Every home here is a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath layout, ranging from about 825 to 1,040 square feet, with a simple amenity set built around beach access and cable included through the HOA.
Short-term vacation rental is not permitted at Lanakila per available records, so this is a long-term-rental and owner-occupied building rather than a vacation-rotation one. Long-term tenancies are still a normal part of the mix here, since the restriction is on short-term stays specifically. For buyers who want a quieter, more residential corner of Kihei just steps from the water, that is often the appeal rather than a drawback.
