Punahoa Beach Apartments
2142 Iliili Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Punahoa Beach Apartments is a small, fee-simple oceanfront building in Kihei, just 15 units across four floors of a single structure built in 1970. Layouts run from compact studios and one-bedrooms at 328 to 576 square feet up to three larger two-bedroom, one-bath units at 684 square feet, so the building spans a real range of price points on the same stretch of sand. A BBQ area and recreation space round out the amenities, and cable is included through the HOA.
Available records describe Punahoa's zoning as apartment-district, and vacation rental use is reported here, which would place the property within the scope of South Maui's Bill 9 phase-out for apartment-zoned buildings currently set for January 1, 2031, though this has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official Minatoya list. Long-term tenancies are not reported as a permitted use at this property, so this reads as a building built around vacation-rental income rather than a mixed-use rental base. Confirm current rules with Diane before counting on either use.
