More Room Than You Might Expect
Haleakala Shores occupies a central position in South Kihei's Kamaole beach corridor, across South Kihei Road from Kamaole Beach III and close to the restaurants, shops and beaches that make this portion of Kihei highly walkable.
But the property deserves more explanation than simply "condos across from the beach." One of Haleakala Shores' biggest distinctions is the amount of interior space its residences offer compared with many other Kihei condominium options. With 2-bedroom floor plans that are notably spacious, it provides a different living experience.
At Haleakala Shores, buyers should compare more than price. Look at building, floor, orientation, view, road exposure, pool proximity, parking, renovation, association condition, and current rental rules. Those factors can make two residences with similar square footage very different purchases.

A Building & Unit Guide
Haleakala Shores consists of two primary buildings arranged to maximize views and access to the central pool and Kamaole Beach III.
Which Floor Fits You?
The experience changes vertically. Higher floors don't automatically mean a better unit for everyone; it depends on your priorities.
Lower Floors
- Easier common-area and pool access
- Closer relationship to landscaping
- Different road exposure and privacy
Upper Floors
- Greater elevation and breeze
- Potentially improved ocean or Haleakala views
- Increased privacy and elevator dependence
Inside Haleakala Shores
The Residences
Haleakala Shores is known for its spacious 2-bedroom layouts, providing more interior room than many traditional vacation-condo layouts in Kihei.
2-Bedroom Residences
The primary floor plan at Haleakala Shores is a generous 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout. These units offer substantial living area, a full kitchen, and a private lanai. The extra space is ideal for full-time residents, families, or buyers who want to host guests comfortably.
Individually Owned & Updated
Built in the 1970s, individual units vary significantly. Buyers may encounter original interiors, partial updates, or complete remodels with updated kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring. The floor plan may be similar, but the condition may not be.
Understanding the Views
Building, floor, stack, orientation, and vegetation determine the actual view. Potential views include Ocean, Partial Ocean, Haleakala, Mountain, Pool, Garden, and South Kihei Road. Do not call the entire complex ocean-view; verify the specific unit.
Property Features
Amenities & Grounds
Swimming Pool
The central pool area offers a space to relax and cool off, surrounded by tropical landscaping and convenient to both buildings.
BBQ & Elevators
Residents enjoy BBQ areas for outdoor dining, elevator access to upper floors, and covered parking options, adding convenience to the South Kihei lifestyle.
Kamaole Beach Corridor
Across from Kamaole III
Kamaole Beach Park III
Haleakala Shores sits directly across South Kihei Road from Kamaole Beach III. This beautiful sandy beach offers excellent swimming, snorkeling, lifeguard coverage, restrooms, grass park area, and spectacular sunsets.
Walkable Lifestyle
The central location means you can walk to nearby restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and beach rental shops. It's a highly walkable area of South Kihei.
South Kihei Road Exposure
Being across from the beach also means being across from South Kihei Road. Units closer to the front offer shorter walks to the sand but more road exposure. Interior-facing units may be quieter but have different views.
What Buyers Should Know
Owning in an established 1970s building requires understanding the property's systems and regulations.
Zoning & Rentals
Haleakala Shores has historically allowed vacation rentals. However, buyers must verify current Maui County zoning, Minatoya List status, and AOAO rules, as short-term rental regulations can change.
Building Systems
As a 1970s property, age alone does not determine condition. Buyers should investigate what has been maintained, replaced, and upgraded, including roofs, plumbing, elevators, and concrete.
Reserves & Insurance
Review the reserve study, budget, and master insurance policy. Discuss HO-6 and loss-assessment coverage with an insurance professional to understand your coverage in Hawaii's condo market.
Local Perspective
"Haleakala Shores is a good example of why square footage deserves more attention when comparing Kihei condos. A buyer searching only by '2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, price, and distance to the beach' can end up comparing residences that function very differently. Haleakala Shores offers noticeably more interior room than many of Kihei's traditional vacation-condo layouts. But space isn't the whole decision. One unit may face toward the ocean. Another may have more South Kihei Road exposure. One may sit near the pool. Another may have a more private orientation. The better question isn't simply 'Do I like Haleakala Shores?' It's 'How does this particular unit fit what I want?'"
