Waiohuli Beach Hale

49 W Lipoa St, Kihei, HI 96753

Waiohuli Beach Hale is a true oceanfront complex in Kihei, four two-story buildings with 52 units built in 1979. One-bedroom, one-bath units run 592 to 594 square feet and make up nearly two thirds of the building, with 18 larger two-bedroom, two-bath units at 885 to 924 square feet rounding out the mix. A pool, BBQ area, and recreation space sit alongside direct oceanfront beach access, which is the real draw here over amenities.

Available records describe Waiohuli Beach Hale's zoning as A-1, and both vacation rental and long-term rental are reported as allowed. That combination points to Minatoya-list, apartment-zoned status and likely relevance under South Maui's Bill 9 phase-out currently scheduled for January 1, 2031, though this has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official list. Pets are allowed here too, a point of difference from several of its Kihei neighbors. Confirm current rules with Diane before counting on rental income.
