Can you rent to visitors?

HousesPermit required, capped at 50Outside resort and apartment districts, Maui County allows visitor rentals of a house only with a short-term rental home permit, and caps those permits by community plan area. The West Maui area is capped at 50. The owner must have owned the home for at least 15 years, the home must be at least 15 years old, and permits don’t transfer when a home sells. A buyer can’t plan on renting a house here to visitors.

Land, title and what to check

Parts of this shoreline, especially around Kahana and Honokowai, have chronic beach erosion, and some oceanfront associations have spent heavily on seawalls and sand restoration. Ask about erosion, reserves and special assessments in the association documents.

Hazards, water and access

The county lifted West Maui’s Stage 2 water shortage in March 2026.
