Leinaala
998 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Leinaala is a 24-unit, four-story building with an elevator in Kihei, built in 1975 on an oceanfront parcel with ocean views throughout much of the property. Most homes are one-bedroom, one-bath layouts near 596 square feet, with a smaller group of two-bedroom, one-bath units around 811 square feet. Amenities include a pool, BBQ area, tennis court, and direct beach access, all wrapped into a single mid-rise building rather than spread across a larger complex.
Available records describe Leinaala's zoning as Apartment with vacation rental reported allowed, which would put it among the Minatoya-list apartment-zoned buildings subject to South Maui's Bill 9 short-term rental phase-out taking effect January 1, 2031. This has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official list. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income. Long-term tenancies are also part of the normal mix here.
