While we love to host families, we don’t recommend this condo for those with very young kids. 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. 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. *We don’t include the cleaning fee in our nightly rate as it would make longer stays more expensive for our guests. Whether you book with us or another host, we hope you have a wonderful time in Maui! Hawaii TAT License TA-011-850-7008-01 GET License GE-011-850-7008-01 Keypad entry for easy 24hr. Keyless entry. We are happy to help with questions or concerns that may arise during your stay. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can help make your accommodations more pleasant. Kayse & Steve Ku’au is a beautiful neighborhood near Pa’ia Town. You are within 5-10 min of several of the best beaches in Maui including Ho’okipa Beach, Ku’au Beach, Pa’ia Bay, Baldwin Beach and Baby Beach (Sprecklesvile). There are lots of hiking spots within a 20 min drive such as Makawao Forest and Twin Falls. At Twin Falls you can also hike to serval waterfalls and swim in the natural freshwater pools. Within walking distance of the condo is Mama’s fish house restaurant (One of the best on island for fresh caught fish!) and Ku’au store with lots of local favorites made daily and an array of essentials. If you feel like driving 5 min down the road into Pa’ia town, there is Mana Health Food Market and plenty of restaurants, gallery’s and shops within walking distance. Heading West from the condo you are about 10min from Maui’s largest shopping hub near the airport with Costco, Target, Wal Mart and plenty of other stores, restaurants and services you may need. If you decide to visit the South or West side of the island you are very close with only about a 30 min drive either way. If planning a trip East on the Road to Hana you have a great jumpstart, as you are only 2 hours away! Plenty of local food stops, amazing views, waterfalls and other attractions to enjoy on your drive. While there are areas within walking distance, it is highly recommended to rent a car during your stay. The condo is located along Hana Hwy which connects the entire North Shore. There aren’t sidewalks until reaching Pa’ia and walking along the highway can be dangerous. Noise: 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. Accessibility: 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. Weather: 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. 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. 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. Pests: 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! Closet Access: 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. Safety: 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.
