The Maui Vacation Rental Association provides information about current issues regarding single family Transient Vacation Rental homes (TVR) and Bed & Breakfast homes (B&B) on the island of Maui, including details of the benefits they bring to Maui.  MVRA is a non-profit trade association made up of property owners, rental booking agencies and members of the business community.  Since 2001, MVRA has been working diligently with County government, the local community, and property owners to establish fair and effective regulations and licensing for vacation rentals.

MAUI VACATION RENTAL ASSOCIATION POSITION STATEMENT
Approved 2/8/08

The Maui Vacation Rental Association believes that Vacation Rentals play an important role in a healthy economy and diversified tourism. Vacation Rentals are acknowledged all over the world as an alternative to resort and hotel type of accommodations.  Home owners have an opportunity to participate directly in and benefit from tourism. The Maui Vacation Rental Association believes that this industry needs a fair regulation and license process in order to control proliferation and problems caused by poorly managed establishments and to preserve the character of neighborhoods.
The Maui Vacation Rental Association will continue to work in good faith with government and the public to find middle ground and establish new laws, to benefit the community as a whole.
MVRA distinguishes the following types of vacation rentals in the county of Maui:
 
B&B (new definition)
Short-term rental of rooms or an entire dwelling where the owner is living on the same parcel as visitors.
 
TVR (proposed definition)
Short-term rental properties with an on property caretaker/manager, or a professional on-island property manager.
 
Both of these categories are a vital component of the island’s visitor industry and provisions must be made for the existence of both of these types of accommodations in all zoning areas of Maui.
