Living Near Cove Park
Shores of Maui occupies a distinctive part of Kihei. Instead of sitting directly across from one of the Kamaole beaches, the property is positioned near Cove Park and the larger Kalama Park corridor, putting owners close to surfing, beaches, restaurants, shopping and some of Kihei's most active pedestrian areas.
That location creates opportunity, but it also means buyers should understand exactly where a residence sits within the property. Floor matters. Orientation matters. Ocean view matters. South Kihei Road exposure matters. Parking matters. And current rental rules matter.
A good Shores of Maui buyer's guide should explain all of those differences rather than treating every residence in the complex as interchangeable.
Know Shores of Maui
Understanding the building layout, unit positions, and how location affects your experience.
Unit Position & Views
Shores of Maui's layout means unit position significantly dictates the view and experience.
- Ocean Views: Specific units offer direct or angled ocean views depending on their position and floor level.
- Cove Park Outlook: Some units overlook the park and surfing area.
- Road Exposure: Units closer to South Kihei Road experience more pedestrian and traffic activity.
Floor-by-Floor Guide
The exact floor level changes your connection to the property and the surrounding area.
- Ground Floor: Easier access, stronger connection to landscaping, but potentially less privacy and lower view angles.
- Upper Floor: Better ocean-view potential, more privacy, and improved breezes, but requires stairs.

Floor Plans
Shores of Maui features a variety of floor plans, typically offering 1 and 2-bedroom configurations. While the basic layouts may be similar across the property, the actual experience of living in them can vary dramatically.
The Floor Plan May Be Similar. The Experience May Not Be.
Floor, orientation, ocean view, Cove Park view, road exposure, pool exposure, and parking all play a crucial role in how a unit feels.
Renovation Variation
As an established property built in the 1970s, interior condition can vary significantly. Recent listings and sales show patterns involving original kitchens versus fully remodeled spaces, updated bathrooms, new flooring, modern windows, and AC upgrades.
Same complex + similar floor plan does not mean same condo.
Cove Park & Walkability
One of the most walkable locations in Kihei, putting surfing, parks, and dining at your doorstep.
Living Near Cove Park
Cove Park is renowned as one of Kihei's best beginner surf spots. For someone who surfs regularly, the ability to walk across the street with a board can be a meaningful part of the ownership experience.
Cove Park is not Kamaole Beach. While excellent for surfing and paddleboarding, it has a different shoreline character than the broad sandy swimming beaches of Kamaole I, II, and III.
What Can You Actually Walk To?
- About 5 Minutes: Cove Park, Kalama Park, local cafes.
- About 10 Minutes: Charley Young Beach, Kamaole Beach I, restaurants, shopping, and surf rentals.
- About 15 Minutes: Grocery stores, fitness centers, and more dining options.
Shores of Maui offers the Kihei experience without always needing to get in the car.

Owning at Shores of Maui

Due Diligence

- Zoning & STR Rules: Verify current Maui County laws and AOAO rules regarding short-term vacation rentals through 2026.
Local Perspective
"Shores of Maui is one of those properties where the map tells you more than an amenity list. Start with Cove Park. Then look north toward Kalama Park and south toward Charley Young and Kamaole I."
"But location also creates tradeoffs. Don't stop at 'ocean view.' Which floor? Which direction does the lanai face? What's between the unit and the water? How much South Kihei Road exposure does it have?"
