Lauloa Maalaea
100 Hauoli St, Wailuku, HI 96793
Lauloa Maalaea offers some of the roomiest floor plans in the village: forty eight homes in a single four-story building, built in 1979, with two bedroom units starting around 950 square feet and a smaller run of three bedroom units up to 1,220 square feet, more space than most of its Maalaea neighbors. A pool, recreation area, and direct beach access sit steps from the bay's calm, protected water, with whale season views from December through April a regular perk for anyone who buys here.
Lauloa Maalaea is a leasehold property, with the underlying lease running to December 2039, a separate consideration from rental eligibility that matters for financing and long-term value. Lauloa Maalaea is apartment-zoned (A-2) and, per available records, is among the Maalaea buildings understood to fall under Maui County's Minatoya list, the same apartment-district exception used in South and West Maui. Under Bill 9 (Ordinance No. 5909), that short-term rental use is set to phase out countywide by January 1, 2031, since Maalaea isn't in the West Maui zone that faces the earlier 2029 deadline; ask Diane to confirm current status before you count on rental income.
