1002 S Kihei Rd APT 212, Kihei, HI 96753

There are homes that shelter, and then there are homes that listen. Set quietly along the shoreline in central Kihei, this rare direct beachfront corner residence offers a daily rhythm shaped by ocean, light and breeze. One of only nine direct beachfront residences in this boutique complex, the 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the largest floor plan at approximately 954 SF and enjoys a private second-floor location with no public foot traffic in front or behind the unit. A broad grassy state-owned parcel between the building and the beach provides both an inviting green foreground and added peace of mind regarding shoreline setbacks and future coastal change. Lovingly owner-occupied for nearly 30 years and never rented, the home was extensively remodeled in 2017 with a granite kitchen featuring Shaker-style cabinetry, glass-tile backsplash, powered island and updated appliances, beautifully renovated bathrooms, upgraded plumbing, new interior doors, engineered wood flooring in the bedrooms, and tile throughout the main living areas. Approximately $35,000 was later invested in premium tight-seal floor-to-ceiling oceanfront windows, enhancing comfort while framing the ever-changing Pacific beyond. From this elevated vantage point, enjoy soothing surf year-round and, during whale season, watch humpback whales breach, spout and tail-slap just offshore before each day concludes with another unforgettable Maui sunset...and perhaps, if you're fortunate, the elusive green flash. The lifestyle is effortless and walkable, with the pool and sandy beach just steps away, tennis and pickleball courts nearby, and convenient access to shopping, dining and everyday services at Pi?ilani Village and Azeka Shopping Center. Sold furnished and including two parking spaces (one assigned), this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated beachfront home where the gentle rhythm of the ocean serves as the soundtrack to everyday life.
