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.

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!

Nice little spot right in the middle of Wailuku. Very convenient, easy to find. Eric was easy to communicate with, I have no issues. In fact, planning on staying there again in a few weeks.

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.

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. 🌈🤙
