Leilani Kai

1221 Uluniu St, Kihei, HI 96753

Leilani Kai is a small, oceanfront property of just 9 units across two low-rise buildings in Kihei, built in 1975 directly on the sand. The unit mix runs from compact studios near 336 square feet up to two-bedroom, one-bath layouts around 673 square feet, with a handful of one-bedroom homes in between, all sharing a pool, BBQ area, and direct beach access on a fee-simple oceanfront parcel.

Ownership here is structured as a timeshare, not a standard whole-ownership condominium purchase, so buyers typically hold a fractional interest or a set period of use rather than a full unit. Vacation-style occupancy is permitted and built into that structure, but long-term rental is not permitted at Leilani Kai. If a timeshare purchase is not what you're looking for, ask Diane to walk you through how ownership works here before you commit.

Short-term rental status

Leilani Kai is a vacation-ownership (timeshare) property, not a standard fee-simple condominium purchase in the usual sense, so ownership is typically fractional or a set period of use. Vacation-style occupancy is permitted and part of that structure, but long-term rental is not permitted here. Ask Diane to walk you through how ownership works before you commit if this is your first look at a timeshare purchase.
