Can You Vacation Rent Wailea Ekahi Condos?
Wailea Ekahi is an apartment-zoned development that currently allows vacation rentals. Maui County recently passed Bill 9, a new law that will phase out short-term rentals in apartment-zoned condos. As things stand, Wailea Ekahi will need to phase out rentals by January 1, 2031.
The law is currently being challenged in the courts. Additionally, the Maui County Council recently referred a new bill to the Maui, Molokai, and Lanai Planning Commission that would establish two new zoning types, H3 and H4. Those new zoning types would be equivalent to apartment zoning with one key difference: the right to vacation rent.
