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.

Short-term rental status
Available records describe Punahoa Beach Apartments' zoning as apartment-district, and vacation rental use is reported at the property, which would place it within the scope of South Maui's Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out currently scheduled for January 1, 2031. This has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official Minatoya list. Long-term tenancy is not reported as a permitted use here. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
Maui’s short-term rental rules are changing month to month, and several rezoning resolutions are live right now. See the current status of Bill 9, Bill 88 and the Minatoya list for the latest, including whether this building is named in any rezoning resolution.
If you need vacation-rental flexibility without a phase-out date, hotel-zoned condos sit outside the apartment-district phase-out entirely.
