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 passed Bill 88. This Bill created two new zoning categories, H3 and H4. Those new zoning types are equivalent to apartment zoning, with one key difference: the right to vacation rent.
Since Bill 88 passed, the County Council sponsored resolutions that started the rezoning process for several condos. Resolution 26-111 included Wailea Ekahi. The development is now going through a process that includes a review by the Maui Planning Commission for comments before returning to the County Council for further discussion and a final vote.
Buyers interested in purchasing Wailea Ekahi condos for a vacation rental property should review current Bill 9 risk and compare Ekahi against other Wailea condos for sale before writing an offer.
