Buyer's Guide To Condos in Kihei
Kihei is a beach community in South Maui, just a short drive from Kahului Airport. Kihei’s location means that it's perfectly placed for easy access to the best of what Maui has to offer, such as the picture-perfect beaches of Wailea and Makena, mountain biking trails on Haleakala, and world-class surfing on the island’s northern coastline.
There are considerable benefits to owning a short-term rentable condo in Kihei. Thanks to its proximity to some of Maui’s best beaches, Kihei is a popular vacation destination and therefore has a large number of condo complexes compared to other Maui communities. The three Kamaole beaches along with Sugar Beach and Keawakapu offer all the popular ocean sports such as snorkeling, diving, and paddleboarding, as well as fantastic swimming. Average occupancy rates of condos in Kihei are between 80 and 90 percent, therefore most condo owners will see sizable returns on their investments from vacation rentals.
North Kihei is the quieter end of the community with more residential buildings than commercial ones, and the majority of the vacation rental condominium complexes here are oceanfront, on Waipuilani Beach, or Sugar Beach. The beaches in South Kihei are wider than North Kihei and better for swimming and sunbathing, and the area is busier and has more restaurants and shopping facilities. However most condos on the South Kihei beachfront are high rise due to them being constructed in the earlier days of Maui’s development.
