Makena Surf
96 Makena Alanui Dr, Makena, HI 96753
Makena Surf is a gated, beachfront luxury community just south of Wailea in Makena, built in 1984. It is intimate by Wailea and Makena standards: only 107 homes across 12 buildings on nearly 11 acres, with large two, three, four, and five-bedroom floor plans running up to nearly 2,700 square feet.
County property records show Makena Surf zoned Hotel (H), which puts it in the same category as Wailea Elua and Wailea Point rather than the Bill 9-affected Minatoya complexes. Verify current zoning and rental eligibility with Diane before you buy.

Short-term rental status
County property records show Makena Surf zoned Hotel (H), which puts it in the same category as nearby Wailea Elua and Wailea Point, allowed to rent short-term directly under the zoning rather than through the apartment-district Minatoya exception that Bill 9 is phasing out. Zoning can change and this has not been checked against the county's most current records, so ask Diane to verify before you count on rental income.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
