Our property features private studio-style suites, each thoughtfully designed for simplicity, convenience, and value.

Nice studio close to airport

My friend and I stayed here for one night as we had an early flight the next morning. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was nice/renovated and the kitchenette was convenient, especially for longer stays. Check in was easy and the owners were on property when we arrived, ready to assist if we had questions. Certain areas could use more attention when cleaning (tops of bed linen, baseboards, etc), but the property suited our needs and I would most likely stay again if I am able to return to Maui.

Everything worked out just fine for one night for the 3 of us. It was clean and as pictured. There isn’t a permanent 3rd bed, but they had a high quality air mattresses ready for us when we arrived. Dinner down the street at Tiffany’s was fantastic ( I’m glad we got there early!) Thank you for the prompt & clear communication!

As expected

Stayed just overnight. We arrived late into OGG and couldn’t check into our resort until the next day, so we stayed one night at this location. Check in was super easy, it was not hard to find where to go, and everything was as expected. It probably would have been too snug for our family of 5 if we had stayed longer, but for just a night, it was great.

Solid spot, not 5 star

The location is solid, however this should not be confused with a 5 star location as reviews suggest. This is effectively a motel.

Good place to stay after flying in

We were only here for one night, but it was great for what we needed. I don't think they advertise this, but the beds have remote controls so you can make it sit up for reading or watching TV. You can find the remotes hiding under the beds. Pretty cool!

As expected & nice customer service!

Was only needing to stay overnight in Maui before our heading to Kihei to our resort. We wanted to stay by the airport too so it was convenient. We arrived early enough so the front desk was open and they were kind to provide us the information we needed to get into our rooms. Make sure to park your car to the designated # which is the same as your room #. Thanks!

About the host

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. 🌈🤙
