Hotel-Zoned Condos on Maui

Maui’s vacation rental market runs on a patchwork of rules that catch a lot of buyers off guard: county zoning, the Minatoya list, Bill 9’s phase-out timeline, hotel-use variances, and each building’s own house rules and rental program on top of all of it. Diane Bercik has decades of experience helping buyers navigate the Maui market, with particular depth in exactly this question, whether a specific condo can legally and practically operate as a short-term rental, not just in general terms. That work is built directly into this site: every condo-complex page here includes short-term rental research specific to that building, not a generic zoning label copied from somewhere else.

A hotel-zoned condo sits in a building the county classifies for hotel or resort use rather than as an apartment district. That distinction matters right now because Maui County’s Bill 9 phase-out of short-term rentals only targets apartment-zoned buildings on the Minatoya list, so hotel-zoned buildings generally aren’t on that same countdown.

Zoning codes above come from public reference sources, not a direct county record, and a building’s actual rental program, HOA cost, and use restrictions vary.
