Maui Condo Vacation Rental - Which Complexes Ones Allow It

Posted by Alex Cortez on Saturday, July 14th, 2018 at 11:54am.

Today's question comes from a Buyer who is interested in purchasing a condo in Kihei. We are posting with Buyer's permission, for the benefit of others who may have same or similar question.

Question:
My family and I are looking for a condo in Kihei to buy and we want to rent it out when we're not there. The problem that I'm facing is that I'm finding conflicting information as to which complexes allow vacation rentals. Any help would be really appreciated on this. 
For prospective purchasers looking into the Maui condo market, one of the first questions is whether the unit will be used as a short-term rental when not occupied by owners and/or their guests. To start, there are many terms that are generally meant as interchangeable in this context: short-term rental (STR), vacation rental, transient vacation rental (TVR). For the purposes of the answer posted here, anything less than a continuous lease of 180 days is considered short term. On our site, we have manually curated our database to differentiate whether a condominium allows short-term rentals or not and have made the distinction a searchable point (see illustration below as a reference). Please visit our Maui Real Estate Search page and select pertinent criteria, such as price range, number of bedrooms, ability for vacation rental, city, etc. Easy and fast, for the convenience of our clients. 

Search Maui Vacation Rental Condos

In addition to which, it can be very help to know which properties allow short-term rentals - whether through zoning, ordinance, or being grandfathered in. The below is an alphabetical list of Maui Condos That Allow Vacation Rentals, current as of the date of this posting (07/14/2018). For any information or to confirm a specific property, contact us.
