About this cottage rental

Located in Wailuku, this lovely cottage for $150 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Newly remodeled 200 sq ft attached apartment with separate private entrance, deck and fire pit. The yard is beautifully overgrown with tropical plants. The apartment includes a small bedroom and separate kitchen/sitting area. The new bathroom is accessed from the private deck just outside the sitting area which is handy when you are outside relaxing ior after a sandy day at the beach. This industrial mini house vibe is not your typical Hawaii vacation spot but is a very clean, private and a convenient location for most Maui activities: surfing or windsurfing at Ho'okipa or Kanaha beaches, kiting in Kahului, hiking at Haleakala and at Waihee Ridge trail, visiting Makawao, Kihei, Kula and/or Haiku. The rate is low because it is small and unique with no view or beach access. The apartment/property are a place to hang your swim togs and rest after a fun day out exploring. It's a place to wake up to the sound of chickens and roosters while enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck with a colony of cats waiting for their breakfast. The apartment includes WiFi, parking, smartTV and some beach toys that can be borrowed (stand up paddle board, inflatable kayak, beach chairs, cooler, beach blankets/towels, beach BBQ, beach wagon). The parking is right outside the apartment. The property is fully fenced with manual open/close entry gate. The property has several outdoor lounge areas with chairs, outdoor pillows and one area with a fire pit table for guests to relax....cute vintage trailer with seating nearby outside but not usable as VRBO sleeping space (no power). BEDROOM: Separate bedroom with queen bed, new wall mount AC installed June 2023 that cools bedroom and living space. There is a deadbolt on the door between the apartment and main house that you can lock and one on the house side that I lock. There is a barn door type sliding door between the bedroom and apartment living area. LIVING SPACE: Access to the apartment is via glass slider, with screen, and a locked key entry. Living space has a two-seater couch and a small kitchen. Partial kitchen has a sink; counter height fridge with small freezer; multi-cooker (combined air fryer/toaster/convection/oven/pizza/wings maker); coffee maker & dishes. Kitchen has no dishwasher or stove. Apartment has some condiments, basic spices and coffee. There is a propane and electric BBQ for your use near the deck. The AC and fans keep the apartment nice and cool. The deck and yard can be hot during full sun, nice/shady when the sun passes over this area There is shade under the trees in the shared outside seating areas and shade later in the day. The apartment is located in Wailuku, central Maui, which provides great central access to the island and sunny/warm weather for most of the year, cooler in November/December/January. The apartment is located in a semi-industrial area. There is an excellent restaurant, Tiffany's which is owned by Sheldon Simeon (Top Chef contestant twice) and a bar, Da Babooze, within walking distance. The bar serves regulars and is never disruptive to the neighborhood.... I don't hear them when I'm outdoors in the evening. Distances from the apartment: Maui Airport - 3.5 mi Waihee Ridge Trail - 4.6 mi Ho'okopa Beach - 9.0 mi Makena Beach - 19 mi Ocean Vodka Distillery - 10 mi Haleakala - 20 miles Hana Town - 34 mi Kula Town - 14 mi Haiku Town - 16 mi Lahaina Town - 12 mi Makawao Town - 10 mi Kihei Town- 8.8 mi Finally - we care for an outdoor cat colony that hangs around the property throughout the day and are standing by for dinner around 6:30....the cats do not come indoors but might get comfy on the outdoor furniture. .... oh & as everywhere on Maui there are chickens, chicks and roosters.

Great spot to set down your bags and explore the island. Terry is a fantastic host and is very responsive with messages. The place is clean and the bed comfortable, what more can you ask for! We loved it.

Loved our stay here! We enjoyed several local restaurants and bars. Easy access to everything. Be advised, lots of cats running around outside. This was not a problem for us but if you are highly allergic just be aware. Overall a great home base for exploring this side of Maui!

I enjoyed myself at this place and I was even able to walk to restaurants. The place was easy with drop offs and pickups for shared rides. The owner was so kind and helpful.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 days and found it to be exactly what we needed. Terry gave us all the information before we arrived on the island; even checked beforehand to confirm we were OK with the space. Checking in was simple. The location in central Maui made activities around the island convenient. There are tons of food options were available within a 10 minute drive. We were within 30 minutes of the start of the Road to Hana, beaches in Kihei and the airport. The room itself was great for us; we spent more time in the room than planned because of some of the weather on the island, and while the space is small, it never felt too cramped. The highlight for us was the cats that would greet us every morning and each time we came back to the room.
