Property was very nice but in kind o run down commercial area. Things were great a few blocks away. We felt safe there and property was very very clean and they had bogey boards etc for you to use.
Great location, easy parking and just like advertised!
This apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. Parking was convenient, and the location was excellent, offering beautiful mountain views. The laundry room features new, modern machines available at a reasonable price. The kitchen is well-equipped and even includes an iron. The host was communicative and provided all the necessary details promptly..

We informed you that Unit 6 was not wheelchair accessible and recommended an alternative, but since you still booked Unit 6, we moved you to a newly remodeled, accessible ground-floor unit with a new A/C. If you had difficulty operating it, we would have been happy to assist.
Parking instructions are simple: use the stall matching your unit number. Our units doesn't have any roaches or centipede, though occasional insects can occur in Hawaii’s tropical environment. We regret any inconvenience and are happy to address further concerns.
This was a great spot to stay if you don’t mind being a little ways from the beach. It was super clean and roomy. The AC was nice at night and it had huge windows for lots of natural light to come in. It’s a very local vibe, not really any tourist around. We were about 15 min from Paia and about 25 from the beaches near Maalaea. The host was kind enough to leave a long list of his favorite local restaurants for us. This is the perfect spot to stay especially if you have an early flight the next morning. Less than 10 from the airport. Nice central location!
We wanted to stay near the airport for early morning flight. Plus, this place was convenient for our long day to Hana and back. Uncle Tony is super nice! He loaned us beach towels and chairs. We had a lil entry code issue (assigned code did not work) on the first day. But it was resolved with a late night phone call. The inside is very well kept. Outside does not have beautiful beach views. But if you want a clean unit with kitchenete, near airport and all restaurants, this is the one!. Kitchen had a hot plate, microwave, fridge and needed utensils. I will stay here again if we go 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. 🌈🤙
