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.
Waiohuli Beach Hale is zoned A-1 and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 49 West Lipoa Street, and both vacation rental and long-term rental are reported as allowed. As an apartment-district Minatoya property it falls under Bill 9's phase-out for properties outside West Maui, currently scheduled for January 1, 2031. 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.
