Great unit… Quiet

Great unit, clean, quiet, washer and dryer on site makes it convenient and a reserved parking spot! Overall great place. Not well supplied though. You must pack beach towels, coolers and chairs. Kitchen supplies very minimal. More like a hotel stay.

Wonderful stay

I loved this cute studio! It's clean, modern, and have microwave & fridge which I need!! They provide extras, like plates, utensils, mugs, electric water kettle. The contact person, Eric is very responsive and helpful. I wish I could meet him personally when I was there, just to say thank you!! Also, there is a small market right across the street and we got hot fresh musubi for quick snack. I will definitely stay there again if I visit Maui! Aloha

Basic, clean place to stay for a short time upon arrival to Maui. Basically a hotel room with a bit more extensive kitchen (microwave, Keurig, fridge, dishes). Close to airport, Iao Valley and east side attractions. Check in, directions and communications with host all very smooth.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The area is conveniently in the middle of all the good stuff. Although, I came here expecting everything being at walking distance, a car is recommended. Tony was very helpful and gave a lot of advice. Very lovely and wish him and his family the best! He made this an easier experience.

Central Location

Easy check-in and communication. Great location for accessing Wailuku and Kahului. The room is on the second floor so you’ll need to use stairs, but we liked not being on the ground floor. The room is spacious, the higher ceilings give it a more open feel. There is some noise at night from cars on the street, but we kept the window closed so it didn’t disrupt our sleep. The bed is so comfortable! Would definitely stay here again :)

just perfect

The room met my needs completely. It was large, spotlessly clean, and the kitchenette was comfortably equipped with fridge, kettle, microwave, coffee machine, etc. You can check-in and out without interacting with the staff because you get very clear instructions emailed to you, but if you need any help, they're there and very helpful. I'll be booking with them the next time I visit for sure.

About the host

Aloha 🌺

I’m a long-time kamaʻāina (local) here in Hawaiʻi and help run our family-owned, small lodging inn here on Maui. My wife and I are raising our five children who were all born and raised on the island. We feel very fortunate to live here and to call Maui home.

Maui is a beautiful and special place, and as many visitors learn, the cost of living here is among the highest in the country — especially housing. Your choice to stay with a local family-run business directly supports our community and helps us continue to provide comfortable, welcoming accommodations for travelers.
From our ʻohana to yours, mahalo for supporting local and choosing to stay with us. We look forward to sharing the spirit of Aloha with you during your visit. 🌈🤙
