Milowai
50 Hauoli St, Wailuku, HI 96793
Milowai sits on about 1.24 oceanfront acres at the west edge of Maalaea's condo cluster, forty three homes in a single four-story building built in 1977. Its one and two bedroom layouts run wide, some of the largest individual units in Maalaea at up to 1,356 square feet, around a pool, recreation area, and elevator with beach access just outside. The bay's calm water and December through April whale-watching views are part of the draw here, same as elsewhere in the village, but with a bit more room to spread out inside.
Milowai is a leasehold property, with the underlying lease running to January 2039. Zoning is listed as A-2/M-1, and Milowai is, per available records, one of 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.
