Maalaea Mermaid
20 Hauoli St, Wailuku, HI 96793
Maalaea Mermaid is the newest building in the village, forty homes in a single four-story building completed in 1980, with one bedroom units around 650 to 700 square feet and a smaller run of two bedrooms up to 1,164 square feet. There is no pool here, a departure from most of its neighbors, but the trade-off is a quieter, more residential building with an elevator, storage, and beach access right outside, plus the calm water and December through April whale-watching views that define this stretch of coast.
Long-term rental is allowed at Maalaea Mermaid, but available records show vacation rental is not permitted, a clear no-short-term-rental answer, uncommon clarity among Maalaea's older buildings. Zoning is listed as M-1. Confirm current rules with Diane before you buy, since HOA policy and county rules can both shift over time.
