The property was clean and friendly. When I got there the office manager explained how to unlock and lock the unit. It was nice that a few coffee pods were in the room. The air conditioner worked nicely. The beds were great - nice sheets and pillows!

Great Hosts

My husband and I spent one night at Eric's property February 2023. The hosts were super helpful and accommodating, allowing us to store our luggage before check-in time. Eric provided a list of restaurants in the area. We ate at The Mill House and had the best lunch. Buildings in the area have seen better days, but Uncle Tony's Hale was nicely kept. Short, steep driveway to parking area. The room wasn't fancy, but it was cute and clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. They included nice touches with the towels, great smelling toiletries, coffee and creamers. The location was convenient, close to the airport and attractions. We would stay again. Thank you for everything!

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. 🌈🤙
