Short-term rental status
Available records describe Sugar Beach Resort's zoning as hotel-use, which would place it outside Bill 9's apartment-district phase-out, but this has not been independently confirmed against Maui County's official published list. Given how few owners live here full-time, rental eligibility is a real factor for most buyers. 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.
