Respect Quiet Hours:
Please be mindful of your neighbors. We do not allow get together parties in the unit. Quiet hours are between 9 pm to 7 am -reduce your TV or Music volume.. If there is noise from an adjoining property. Let us know we will try to see if we can contact them to let them know. If there are roosters that are being annoying let us know and we will call a friend that likes to eat them and we will repurpose its life source to give it to someone who will cook a local style chicken dinner. We also have complimentary ear plugs if you need them for any reason.

Bugs & Pests
We live in a very tropical climate. Jurassic Park the movie was filmed in many parts of the island. You will experience seeing different insects and bugs during your visit. Geckos, large and small cockroaches, centipedes, scorpions, mosquitoes, different sizes of flies, seasonal gnats (not mosquitoes), a variety of ants, moths, beetles, cane spiders, crab spiders, praying mantis etc. This is a normal part of life here in Hawaii. Covering your food, putting it away properly and closing your doors right away is common practice in the islands.

Rubbish
This is not mandatory. We are struggling like most businesses to find good people to work. Our cleaners are essential workers and they have been through so much especially during the pandemic. They help us clean and serve all our guests to ensure a sanitary and safe room. They would greatly appreciate it if you have the time when vacating to remove any rubbish and throw it into the green dumpster to the left front of the building. Mahalo for your kind gesture and understanding.

Quick Neighbor Island Getaway

We were on Maui for an overnight and found this to be a convenient place to stay. The unit was clean and comfortable, though a bit noisy being on a busy road. Would stay again.

Local Feel in Wailuku

A nice little place to stay that was cozy and convenient. It was nice and quiet and I loved that there was beach gear to take. If you're looking for a little bit more of a local feel in Maui, this is it!

Extremely clean!

The description is accurate, the unit is modern and exceptionally clean. Access info, directions—everything was perfect and well described. The unit is on a busy street, but the noise didn’t bother us. It is close to the airport and Costco —perfect for our first two nights. The manager is very friendly, kind, and gave us great information.

Host was very responsive to my questions before booking. I booked this room for 4 days. Everything that is pictured on the booking is correct except there is a queen AND a twin bed now. I was aware of this before booking via the host communications. Also, there is a hot plate in the bottom cabinets if you wish to do some simple cooking. I don't think that was mentioned in the amenities. The room as a whole was great. The AC worked, beds are about a medium firm or medium. I slept pretty well. I believe the TV is a smart TV so you can log into your various subscriptions to enjoy. The coffee maker is a Keurig and they supply three, you can buy more in their office, or go grab your favorite brand. Other guests were very nice, not loud, and I didn't feel crowded in with strangers. There is a cute smoking area at the entrance of the parking lot. I spent hours in that area enjoying the peace and breezy nights when I wasn't checking out Maui. Check-in is very easy. Don't have to talk to anyone. They send you instructions via email after you book and again the day before your check in. Check out was easy too. Just make sure to clean up after yourself and leave the key. Thank you so much for the stress free stay. Will book again.

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. 🌈🤙
