The room was perfect for a one night stay for one person. Very clean and just the right amount of supplies. The bed was comfy as well as the pillows. It's not too far from the airport which is convenient, but the neighborhood is super busy so there is a lot of noise, mainly traffic. Not the fault of the owner, but keep that in mind if you're a light sleeper. Overall, a great place for a quick stay. Oh, and the ac is an added plus!

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. 🌈🤙
