The Kalama Terrace Apts

35 Walaka St, Kihei, HI 96753

The Kalama Terrace Apartments is a good-sized complex on Walaka Street in Kihei, 61 homes spread across two buildings up to three stories with elevator service, built in 1972. Most of the building is compact one-bedroom, one-bath units between 514 and 595 square feet, with a smaller group of two-bedroom, one-bath layouts at 685 square feet for buyers who want more space. Views take in both ocean and mountain, and the grounds include a pool, BBQ area, recreation space, and beach access. Pets are welcome, and the building is FHA and VA loan approved, a detail worth noting since many Maui condos aren't eligible for government-backed financing.

Available records describe The Kalama Terrace Apartments' zoning as Apartment with vacation rental reported allowed, which would place it among the Minatoya-list apartment-zoned buildings subject to South Maui's Bill 9 short-term rental phase-out taking effect January 1, 2031. This has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official list. Confirm current status with Diane before counting on rental income.
