Pacific Terrace, a gated residential enclave within the
Keonekai Heights subdivision, consists of 15 custom homes across 5 acres along Moolio Place in Kihei, South Maui, developed in the late 1980s by Maui-based contractor John F. Simpson. Prior to its development, this area was part of Kihei’s terraced volcanic landscape, sparsely vegetated and overlooking the Pacific.
Known for higher-end residences compared to the broader Keonekai Heights, Pacific Terrace features homes often with guest cottages, situated on a quiet cul-de-sac designed to maximize ocean sightlines and privacy.
Property Characteristics- Homes typically offer 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms, with interior spaces ranging from 1,500 to 3,500 square feet, some including separate ohana units.
- Lots range from 7,000 to 10,000 square feet, with a few larger parcels, often featuring private pools, fenced yards, and tropical landscaping with fruit trees.
- Designs emphasize single or split-level layouts with high ceilings, tile roofs, stucco exteriors, and large lanais, blending modern upgrades with island-style living.
Location Features & Amenities- Some homes feature infinity-edge pools, spacious covered lanais, and photovoltaic solar systems for energy efficiency.

Pacific Terrace is a distinct enclave within Kihei, its 15 homes providing a mix of comfort, privacy, and ocean views, fitting naturally into South Maui’s residential scene.
