BEACHES & LOCAL WILDLIFE:

Beach conditions in Hawaiʻi can vary throughout the year due to weather, surf, currents, and tides, so shoreline size and accessibility may change during your stay.

Due to Maui’s rural environment, you may encounter occasional wildlife such as roosters and small geckos. Geckos are harmless, help control insects, and are considered a symbol of good luck in Hawaiʻi—please do not harm them.

While regular professional pest control is conducted, the tropical climate means that insects such as ants, roaches, and occasional rodents cannot be entirely eliminated. If you experience pest activity beyond what is typically expected, we will make every reasonable effort to coordinate and to address the issue. However, the presence of pests, inside or outside the rental, does not constitute a breach of this Agreement or qualify for any refund or rental adjustment.

SURROUNDINGS & UTILITIES:

We cannot guarantee that neighboring properties will be free from disturbances, including but not limited to noise from construction, traffic, or other residents and guests. Such occurrences do not constitute a breach of this Agreement or entitle guests to refunds or adjustments.

By booking your stay, you acknowledge that the Host is not liable for inconveniences caused by temporary interruptions or failures of utilities or services—including water, electricity, air conditioning, or plumbing—when such issues are beyond the Host’s control.

The Host is also not responsible for loss or damage to personal property due to weather, natural events, or other unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, cable and internet service in the unit may occasionally be unreliable; interruptions in these services do not qualify for refunds or rental adjustments.

Great spot for an extended stay. Lots of room and places to sit. Well stocked kitchen, bathrooms and linens. Only complaint was sofa and rugs/carpet seemed unclean and deck had a lot of bird droppings.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Outstanding views from our patio & master bedroom windows! Beautiful condo & the property was quite lovely. So many little extras- AC, ceiling fans, everything you could possibly need in your kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, and a boogie board. My group of 5 loved our stay.

Rating Details:The property manager was very helpful.The vacation rental was spotless.I was very happy with the location.I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.Reviewer Comments:The property was incredible. The ocean front view was the best I have seen! You could enjoy it from all the main living spaces and the master bedroom. We spent a lot of time on the lanai and saw rainbows almost every morning and watched the sunset nearly every night. I even watched one sunset laying on the bed of the master bedroom resting after a long day. The location was really good and convenient to everything we did. The condo itself was updated, had a great layout and had everything you would need for your stay. There were many things we brought that the condo had. There were even boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach towels, and beach chairs to use. You and walk to the beach right next door and see it from your lanai. The air conditioning and ceiling fans made the condo very comfortable even in the loft. This property was a big part of why this was one of the best vacations we have had. I will absolutely bring my family back to this property. The Papkea Resort was wonderful as well. Very well kept, great pool that was warm and had a hot tub. Several gas grills which we used one night while hanging out at the pool. I can honestly say we did not even turn on the tv's the entire stay even with two teenagers (16 & 17). The process to rent this property was easy and the management company sent all the information we needed for our vacation in a timely manner. The check-in process was easy. The only hesitation I had in renting this property was it did not mention an elevator and it was on the 4th floor. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived that there was an elevator.
