A Prime South Kihei Location

Built in 1992 and set across approximately 11.5 acres, Keonekai Villages is comprised of 256 residences spread throughout 27 two-story buildings. The community’s low-rise design and generous spacing create a neighborhood-style feel, surrounded by a mix of residential homes to the east and resort-zoned properties to the west.

Versatile Floor Plans Designed for Everyday Living

Residences at Keonekai Villages are offered in three distinct two-bedroom floor plans, designed to accommodate a range of lifestyles:

• 2BR / 1BA – The most compact layout, typically without a lanai and usually without in-unit washer and dryer (though some owners have added them)
• 2BR / 1.5BA – Approximately 125 square feet larger, featuring a private lanai and in-unit washer and dryer
• 2BR / 2BA – Slightly larger than the 1.5-bath layout, also offering a lanai and in-unit washer and dryer

These flexible options make Keonekai Villages attractive for full-time residents, long-term tenants, and second-home owners alike.

Comfortable Island Living for Long-Term Use

Keonekai Villages is a residential condo community intended for owner occupancy or long-term rentals (six months or longer). Short-term vacation rentals are not permitted, helping preserve a quiet, community-oriented atmosphere.

The complex is pet friendly, a rare and highly desirable feature in South Kihei, and each residence includes two assigned parking spaces — a major advantage for long-term living on Maui.

Directly across the street from the community is Keonekai Park, a grassy neighborhood park with mature shade trees — perfect for dog walks, kids at play, or simply enjoying open green space close to home.
