Napili Bay
33 Hui Dr, Lahaina, HI 96761
Napili Bay sits directly on one of West Maui's best-known beaches, the crescent-shaped Napili Bay, with 33 studio homes spread across three two-story buildings built in 1977. Every unit is a compact 366 square feet, simple beachfront studios rather than larger layouts, with a BBQ area, a shared recreation area, and community laundry on site. The setting is the real draw here, steps from the sand at one of Maui's most photographed beaches.
Available records show Napili Bay allows vacation rental, and its zoning falls under West Maui's civic improvement district designation, which would likely place it outside the apartment-zoned Minatoya list and Bill 9's phase-out affecting nearby apartment-district buildings, though this has not been independently confirmed against county records. Long-term renting is not permitted here, so plan on this as a vacation-rental or second-home property rather than a long-term rental. Pets are not allowed. Confirm current zoning and rental status with Diane before counting on rental income.
