PEST CONTROL AND ROOSTERS: Due to Maui’s rural location you may experience the occasional rooster, as well as harmless geckos. Geckos are friendly, eat insects, and are considered good luck in Hawaii. Please don’t kill them. The HOA schedules regular professional pest control services for pests such as ants, roaches, and rodents however they cannot be completely controlled in this part of the world. Hawaii is located in a tropical climate, and insects, rodents, and lizards flourish in this environment. If our guest spot more than the normal expected pests, we always make our best efforts to contact and work with the HOA to minimize your interactions with these pests. Our units are cleaned and inspected prior to your arrival. Any contact with such pests within or outside the unit does not constitute a breach of this Agreement or give Guest any right to any refund or rental adjustment. Our units are cleaned and inspected prior to your arrival.

Nice unit but property management company was below average.
Myself, my husband, and our 1.5 year old stayed in the unit. The check-in process was simple and straight forward since the property management company provided a booklet with necessary information. Unit was clean when we arrived. As there were three of us, three beach towels would have been nice. There was a storm the day after we arrived so the entire complex was extremely dusty and especially the balcony. Unit didn’t have a vacuum so no matter how often we were sweeping the unit always felt dusty. What was provided in the kitchen was the basics except no strainer and the Tupperware provided was terrible. We ended up buying our own to use. The knives were rusted so we also bought our own set of knives.Property management company gave one days notice that a technician was coming to fix the dishwasher. My toddler was sick so I replied asking them to reschedule but they didn’t reply. The next day, during my toddlers nap, a technician came by and I asked him to reschedule with the property management company. The day we were checking out, on Friday at 10:20am, while we were still moving our bags to our car our door code did not work anymore. We called the host multiple times and had to leave a message as no one picked up. Eventually we got a new code and could finish moving our things. Nice unit. Good location. Bathroom is very small. Management company is lacking when it comes to communication with guests so would not rent from this property management company again.
