My place is in Wailea, close to beaches, the hotels, tennis and golf, shopping and restaurants. It offers great pricing for a studio condo in this wonderful resort area. Daily rate includes all taxes. Free parking.<br /><br />Update: The Maui county council has approved the ban on short term rentals in areas like ours, but with an effective date of 12/31/2030. Hopefully this provides some clarity if you have been following this process and were concerned about booking in the next couple of years.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Hotel Suite style condo, with a King Bed, a full size futon, small dining area and a TV. There is cooking/food prep area and a bathroom with a washer and dryer in the closet. Covered lanai.<br /><br />This unit is a condo, not a townhome. While there are no shared interior spaces, understand that as in hotels, the condo shares a wall/ceiling with two other condos. Since this is an end unit only one wall is shared, with another condo i own next to this one. As this condo is on the ground floor there is also a condo above you. The walls of my units have blown in soundproofing material to mitigate noise issues between them. Also like a hotel, there is a (double locked) connecting door between my two units which is not sound proofed and can also be a noise source. Please be aware of the potential for noise from adjacent units and at the same time be considerate of other guests, particularly at night.<br /><br />All charges include the combined Hawaii/Maui General Excise Tax of 4.712%, the Hawaii Transient Accommodations Tax of 11% and the Maui Transient Accommodations Tax of 3%.
