Puna Point

49 Kapalua Pl, Lahaina, HI 96761

Puna Point sits oceanfront at 49 Kapalua Place, right next door to its sister complex Puna II, with 20 uniform one-bedroom, two-bath units of 678 square feet spread across a single two-story building built in 1970. The layout keeps every home the same size, a simple, consistent floor plan rather than a mix of studios and larger units. A pool, hot tub, putting green, meeting room, security guard, and air conditioning round out the amenities on this compact oceanfront parcel.

Puna Point is fee simple. Available records show vacation rental is currently allowed here, while long-term rental is not permitted, and the property carries a civic-district zoning designation, which would likely place it in the hotel-zoned category typically found outside the apartment-district framework that Bill 9's West Maui phase-out (January 1, 2029) applies to. This has not been independently confirmed against the county's official list, so confirm current rental status with Diane before counting on rental income.
