Short-term rental status
Bay Villas is apartment-zoned and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, the apartment-district properties allowed short-term occupancy under a decades-old grandfathered exception. Under Bill 9, apartment-zoned Minatoya rentals in West Maui phase out at the start of 2029, about two years ahead of South Maui's deadline. A newer measure has opened a path for many of these buildings to apply for new hotel zoning and keep operating, and the matter is still moving through the courts. Ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count on rental income.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
