Wailea Point
4000 Wailea Alanui Dr, Wailea, HI 96753
Wailea Point is the largest and most residential of Wailea's beachfront communities, and also one of the most exclusive. Two hundred seventy-nine homes spread across sixty-six buildings and more than 26 acres of gated, beachfront grounds, with floor plans ranging from a single bedroom up to sprawling six-bedroom estates topping 4,800 square feet.
Unlike the near-total-investor complexes elsewhere in Wailea, 80% of units here are owner-occupied, giving Wailea Point a full-time neighborhood feel behind its gates. It is also hotel-zoned rather than apartment-zoned, so unlike Ekahi or Ekolu, it is not targeted by Maui's Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out.

Short-term rental status
Wailea Point is not apartment-zoned and does not appear on the county's Minatoya list. County records show it zoned H1 and H2 (Hotel), so short-term rental here is allowed directly under the zoning rather than through the apartment-district exception that Bill 9 is phasing out. That means Wailea Point is not targeted by the January 2031 apartment-district deadline the way complexes like Wailea Ekahi are. With 80% owner-occupancy already, rental income is a smaller factor here for most owners, but it is still worth a quick zoning confirmation with Diane before you buy.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
