Budget friendly and comfortable

Location was super convenient. We enjoyed exploring a completely different part of Maui. It was awesome that they offered to put an Air mattress in the room for us so my teenage boys could have their own bed! Very clean and fresh feeling! It was awesome that they had an area that included random beach items that could be borrowed.

Overnight stay close to airport

Good for an overnight stay for family of five to crash on way back from Hana before flying out of airport in the morning. Place was as listed and clean. It was one room for the five of us and the blow up mattress was less than desirable but better than buying two hotel rooms for the night. Would be super for family of three. Pay laundry was nice.

Clean and easy overnight

Stayed here after a late flight in. Self check-in process was as easy as getting the key from a lock box. We even had a blow-up mattress already made up for our youngest to sleep on the floor. Low road noise, and owners were very nice upon meeting them the following morning. We'd definitely stay again.

We found out that this location is close to some amazing bakeries, coffee, shops, and dining options in the surrounding Wailuku. The grocery store we needed as well as shopping centers were all less than 10 minutes away. It was easy to find even in the rain with the big address on the entrance wall. The instructions were easy, and the photos were exactly as expected. It was quiet we were able to come and go as we please without any questions or interacting with anyone which was great because we had plans every day of the trip, and it was a great home Base.

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. 🌈🤙
