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 zoned A-1 and 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.
Maui’s short-term rental rules are changing month to month, and several rezoning resolutions are live right now. See the current status of Bill 9, Bill 88 and the Minatoya list for the latest, including whether this building is named in any rezoning resolution.
If you need vacation-rental flexibility without a phase-out date, hotel-zoned condos sit outside the apartment-district phase-out entirely.
