The Garage Advantage
One of the most sought-after features for residential condo buyers in Maui is enclosed parking and storage. Many residences at Kai Ani Village include garages—a rarity among Kihei's condo inventory.
Buyers should verify exactly how the garage is configured for a specific unit: whether it is attached or detached, deeded or a limited common element, and what the association rules are regarding storage and EV charging.
In addition to garages, the community provides assigned surface stalls and designated guest parking.
Community Amenities
A substantial recreation area designed for residents.
Pool & Pavilion
The central recreation area features a large swimming pool, spa, and a covered pavilion with BBQ facilities. It serves as the social hub of the community.
When evaluating a residence, consider its proximity to the pool. A unit nearby offers convenience, while one farther away may provide a quieter, more private setting.
Living in Central Kihei

What Buyers Should Know
Important considerations for owning at Kai Ani Village.
Residential Focus
Kai Ani Village is designed for long-term living. Buyers should verify current zoning and association rules regarding minimum lease terms and rental restrictions. It is generally not a short-term vacation rental property.
Pet Policy
This is often a major differentiator for residential buyers. Review the current AOAO pet policy for rules regarding owner pets, number limits, and size restrictions.
Building Systems
While newer than 1970s condos, a property built around 2010 still requires capital planning. Review the reserve study, maintenance history for roofs, exterior paint, AC systems, and plumbing.
Garages & Parking
Understand exactly what parking comes with the unit. Verify whether a garage is included, its type (attached/detached), and any additional assigned stalls.
Association Fees
Review current maintenance fees and understand what they cover. Verify if fees differ based on residence type (flat vs. townhome) or square footage.
Insurance
Review the master insurance policy, deductibles, and discuss appropriate HO-6 and loss-assessment coverage with an insurance professional.
Local Perspective
Kai Ani Village makes more sense when you stop comparing it with Kihei's vacation-rental resorts and start comparing it with places people actually consider for everyday ownership.
A buyer might be deciding between a smaller Kihei house, an older resort condo, or a newer Kai Ani Village residence. Those are very different ownership experiences. Within the community, the next question is which type of residence you're looking at.
A standard residential condominium lives differently from a street-facing live/work unit. A unit with a private garage solves different practical storage needs than one without. A building beside the resort-style pool feels different from one set farther into the community adjacent to Lā’ie Wetlands. At Kai Ani Village, start with whether you need a residential or live/work space, then look at the building, garage, and layout setup.
