The condo is on the 3rd floor and there isn’t an elevator. You must walk up 3 flights of outdoor stairs which can make it very difficult when using a stroller or carrying little ones, and all of the gear they may require.<br /><br />We hire a well managed, professional cleaning service and take pride in paying a living wage. The entire cleaning fee is paid to our wonderful, local, small business cleaning crew.<br /><br />*We don’t include the cleaning fee in our nightly rate as it would make longer stays more expensive for our guests.<br /><br />Whether you book with us or another host, we hope you have a wonderful time in Maui!<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Keypad entry for easy 24hr. Keyless entry.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />Noise:<br />Guests please note this building is located along Hana Hwy. There is some road noise to be expected. We have a ceiling fan and portable A/C in the bedroom to help drown out road noise. Extremely sensitive sleepers may want to book other accommodations. The building has quiet hours from 10pm-8am.<br /><br />Accessibility:<br />This unit is on the 3rd story which makes for beautiful views of the ocean and Haleakala but has walk up access only. Please be advised that there is NO ELEVATOR.<br /><br />Weather:<br />While Maui is known for its beautiful, warm and sunny weather, we cannot guarantee that the weather will be favorable during your stay. Maui has a dry and rainy season, and this affects areas of the island differently. It can be very hot and humid at times and rainy, windy and chilly at others.<br /><br />One of the many benefits of Maui is that it has many microclimates. One area may be raining with high winds and another may be sunny and pleasant at the same time. This is great because you can usually drive to another part of the island to find weather to suit your comfort at any given time. As with many tropical climates, the weather can change quickly. It can be very warm and sunny but rain can still come thru quickly.<br /><br />It is uncommon for the entire island to have unfavorable weather at the same time, but it can and does happen. Hurricane watches/warnings are infrequent but do happen as well. We will do everything in our power to prepare the condo for a safe and pleasant stay but be aware that weather on the Islands can be unpredictable and change quickly. Please be prepared and willing to adjust plans as needed during your stay.<br /><br />Pests:<br />Hawaii has lots of bugs as the climate is tropical. You will definitely encounter different bugs on the island. We have pest control for our building, which helps keeps the bugs away. Luxury hotels encounter bugs entering and so do we at times. That’s just life in Hawaii, whether visiting or living here. It’s one of the trade offs for being on such a beautiful Island, but it’s worth it!<br /><br />Closet Access:<br />Half of the closet in the bedroom is locked and used for hosting supplies. The other half is open and for your use as a guest. There is also built in open shelving in the bedroom and bathroom for your use.<br /><br />Safety:<br />Maui does encounter petty theft and more unusually car theft. It is advised to NOT leave valuables in your car or anywhere not supervised. Always lock all car doors. Use common personal safety precautions. Please call 911 to report any suspicious activity. We are not responsible for damage or theft of private property.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />2260120500023, TA-200-401-5104-01
