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.
Punahoa Beach Apartments is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 2142 Iliili Road, so vacation rental use is permitted here, within the scope of Bill 9's phase-out for apartment-district properties outside West Maui currently set for January 1, 2031. 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.
