Weather conditions, ocean activity, and occasional service interruptions can happen despite everyone’s best efforts. These are not grounds for refunds. We include this so guests come prepared and able to enjoy the unforgettable experience Maui offers.<br /><br />BEACHES & LOCAL WILDLIFE:<br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />While the HOA provides regular professional pest control, 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 with the HOA to address the issue. However, the presence of pests, inside or outside the unit, does not constitute a breach of this Agreement or qualify for any refund or rental adjustment.<br /><br />SURROUNDINGS & UTILITIES:<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />2460020070016, TA-043-153-1520-02
