Waipuilani Condominium
1002 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753
Waipuilani Condominium sits directly on the water along South Kihei Road, a three-building, low-rise complex built in 1975 with 42 homes total. Most units are efficient one-bedroom, one-bath layouts at 520 square feet, with a smaller group of two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath units at 829 and 954 square feet for buyers who want more space on the same oceanfront lot.
The grounds include a pool, BBQ area, recreation space, and a meeting room, with cable handled through the HOA and beach access right outside the door. Waipuilani appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 1002 South Kihei Road, where the county records the zoning as A2, so short-term occupancy is permitted at the county level, subject to Bill 9's phase-out on January 1, 2031. Some third-party records report vacation rental as not permitted, which would be a house rule rather than a zoning limit. The building does read as one built for full-time living or long-term leasing rather than a rotating cast of vacation guests, which tends to keep it quieter than the short-term rental buildings nearby.

Short-term rental status
Apartment · On the Minatoya list · Phase-out January 1, 2031
Waipuilani Condominium is on Maui County's official Minatoya list at 1002 South Kihei Road, confirmed against the county's list dated June 27, 2024, which records the zoning as A2, so the county allows short-term occupancy here. Some third-party records report vacation rental as not permitted, which would be a house rule rather than a zoning limit, so check the association's own documents. Long-term rental is a normal part of ownership here. Under Bill 9 (Ordinance 5909), short-term rental at Minatoya properties outside West Maui is scheduled to end January 1, 2031, a date still subject to pending litigation. 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.
