Kuau oceanfront homes, updated daily from the Maui MLS

Kuau is a small oceanfront neighborhood just east of Paia along the Hana Highway, with homes set on a rocky North Shore coastline.

The Maui MLS lists Spreckelsville, Paia and Kuau as one area, so this page uses a map drawn around Kuau to keep the results local.

What this page shows: active single family homes, including homes with an ohana, in a mapped boundary around Kuau inside the Maui MLS area Spreckelsville/Paia/Kuau, where the MLS listing describes ocean or beach frontage. Recent sales from the same search follow. Condos, vacant land and homes across the road from the water are left out. Oceanfront homes don't come up often, so this list can be short or even empty for a while. Listings refresh automatically from the Realtors Association of Maui MLS.

Buying an Oceanfront Home in Kuau

An oceanfront home is a different purchase from a home a few streets back. These are the things we look at first.

Shoreline Setbacks

Maui County limits what can be built or rebuilt near the shoreline. Before you plan a remodel or an addition, check the setback, the certified shoreline and any past permits.

Flood Zone and Insurance

Many oceanfront homes sit in a FEMA flood zone, which affects flood insurance, lending and future building. Get insurance quotes early, before you're deep into escrow.

Erosion and Seawalls

Parts of Maui's coast are eroding. Look at the shoreline history, any seawall or revetment and whether it was permitted.

Salt Air Upkeep

Salt spray is hard on roofs, windows, railings and air conditioning. Budget for more maintenance than you would inland, and ask how old the major systems are.

Kuau Oceanfront Homes: Common Questions

How do you decide what counts as oceanfront?

We use the MLS waterfront description. A home is included when its listing describes ocean or beach frontage. Homes with an ocean view, or homes across the road from the beach, aren't included.

Does this page include oceanfront condos?

No, single family homes only. For condos, see Kuau condos for sale.

Why is the list empty some days?

Oceanfront homes in Kuau don't come on the market often. Ask us to set up an email alert and you'll hear about new oceanfront listings as soon as they hit the MLS.
