Polo Beach Club
4400 Makena Rd, Makena, HI 96753
Polo Beach Club is a rare find in this part of Maui: a single eight-story oceanfront tower, rather than the low-rise buildings that make up most of Wailea and Makena. Built in 1981 on a compact 2.35-acre beachfront lot, it holds just 71 two-bedroom units, giving every owner an elevator ride to a beach directly outside.
Multiple listing sources record the zoning as Hotel (H-M, Hotel-Makena), which would put Polo Beach Club in a similar category to nearby Makena Surf rather than the Bill 9-affected Minatoya complexes. It does not appear on the county's Minatoya list.

Short-term rental status
Multiple listing sources record Polo Beach Club's zoning as Hotel (H-M, Hotel-Makena), which puts it in a similar category to nearby Makena Surf: allowed to rent short-term directly under the zoning rather than through the apartment-district Minatoya exception that Bill 9 is phasing out, and it does not appear on the Minatoya list. Ask Diane to verify current zoning and rental eligibility before you count on rental income.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.

Questions buyers ask
Where is Polo Beach Club located?
Polo Beach Club sits at 4400 Makena Road, an oceanfront tower just south of Wailea's Fairmont Kea Lani, in the Makena area.
What makes Polo Beach Club different from other Wailea and Makena condos?
It is a single eight-story tower, a rarity in an area dominated by low-rise buildings, and every one of its 71 units is a two-bedroom floor plan on a compact beachfront lot.
Can you short-term rent a condo at Polo Beach Club?
Multiple listing sources describe the zoning as hotel-district (H-M), which places it outside Bill 9's apartment-district phase-out and off the Minatoya list. Ask Diane to verify current zoning and rental eligibility before you count on rental income.
