Nani Kai Hale
73 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Nani Kai Hale is a six-story oceanfront tower at the north end of South Kihei Road, one of the taller silhouettes on this stretch of coast since it went up in 1973. Forty-six units fill the single building, with an elevator serving all floors, most homes are compact one-bedroom layouts around 675 square feet, and a handful of larger two-bedroom units run from 828 up to 1,076 square feet for buyers who want more room without leaving the oceanview line.
The building keeps its amenities close to the water: a pool, BBQ area, recreation space, and direct beach access, with cable included and washers, dryers, dishwashers, and refrigerators in every unit. Hotel zoning here means Nani Kai Hale runs as an active vacation-rental building alongside long-term leasing, which is part of why it draws steady interest from buyers looking for a turnkey Kihei rental with an oceanfront address.
