Short-term rental status

Hotel (H-M)

Multiple available records consistently describe Sugar Beach Resort's zoning as hotel-use (H-M), which would place it outside Bill 9's apartment-district phase-out, though this has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official zoning map. Because hotel-zoned complexes like this one tend to skew toward investor and vacation-home ownership, rental eligibility is a real factor for most buyers here. Ask Diane to verify current zoning before you count on rental income.

Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
