Tropical Hawaiian Oceanfront - Maui, Hawaii - Napili-Honokowai

Welcome to our home on Maui. Please print this information regarding your stay at our condominium in Maui.

Check in time is: 4:00PM

Check out time is: 10:00 AM

When you leave, leave the keys in the unit. Please do not turn off or unplug the wireless Internet. If anything is broken, needs repair or you can't find something you think should be there, please contact us.

We are in the Hawaiian Time Zone which is two to three hours earlier than Pacific Time and 5-6 hours different than EST. This all depends on Daylight Savings Time. Plan accordingly.

We are happy to have you as guests in our home. It is not a hotel or beach rental, so please treat it as you would a home. Please no wet swim suits on the furniture or sand in the condo (thanks). Of course, *toilet tissue only down the toilet!*

You are fully responsible for all damages to the condo or its contents and/or missing items such as keys. Your occupancy of the unit will be treated as acceptance of all terms and conditions discussed and in these instructions, Kahana Reef's specific condominium rules can be found in the condo. Basically, No loud music, No parties, and no illegal activity!

Please leave the condo as clean as you can. Our cleaning service will do the major cleaning, but your help is fully appreciated.

Beach access is on the North end of the condo. Walk down the stairs and there is the beach. There is great snorkeling out front. We have seen as many as 19 turtles out there. We even see them on the beach sometimes. All beaches are public in Hawaii. Although you may feel like you're imposing on the family next door who use the beach to bring in their fishing boats they know the deal and fully expect people to use the beach.

NO SMOKING in condo or on Lanai. Smoking only in designated areas outside (in parking lot next to the street). Failure to follow this rule will result in forfeiture of your damage deposit and immediate cancellation of y0ur stay with NO refund.

Renters understand and agree that from time to time owner's maintenance staff and other contractors may enter the condo. They will make every effort to contact you

There is no air conditioning in ANY of the 88 condos in our building. It is really not necessary in this area of the island. We are fortunate to be in an area of the island that gets the tradewinds VERY reliably which keeps the condo at a nice temperature - usually 70-74 degrees. We bought this condo because of the area knowing that the west Maui trades blow through here. Electrical power is about 5x what it is on the mainland so choosing a location like this instead of Kihei or Lahaina where the temperatures average 10-15 degrees warmer makes a huge difference in affordability for both us and our guests.

However, there are times when the wind doesn't blow. It's rare but does happen. It's tropical here and a bit different than what you're probably used to. The temperature averages between 70-82 F during the day. It is pleasant but not stifling humid heat! We have personally experienced about 3-5 "uncomfortable" days in the five years we've been in the area so we don't want to tell you it can't happen.

We do have fans in the living room and the bedroom although we rarely use them.

Our Home Owners Association (HOA) for our condominium complex contracts for pest control spraying on a quarterly basis, typically the first Wednesday of February, May, August and November. Termites are the biggest problem in Hawaii and do the most amount of damage in a relatively short amount of time.

Maui is a tropical location and has a lot of unwelcome bugs; ants, termites, spiders, roaches, mosquitos, etc. The pest management company uses "safe" pesticides to treat for these bugs. The pesticides used are water based, "pet safe" and approved for application in food handling establishments. The pest management company usually posts a notice a about a week before they are on site, near the elevators and stairwells to let residents know the date and time that pesticides will be applied.

Keep all service animals and children out the area during the treatment and until the product has dried – usually about 10-15 minutes. By renting our condo, you acknowledge and accept the application and use of pesticides and insecticides on the property and within our unit. As a condition of renting our unit you will provide access to our unit when the application is scheduled. Failure to allow access to the pest management company will result in a fee of $75.00 for the pest management company to return at a later date. You will be responsible for this fee if you do not allow the pest management company access to our condominium.

If you're at all concerned about the treatment and spraying for pests/bugs, you should consider other accommodations. Bugs are everywhere in Hawaii and almost every hotel, condominium and Homeowners Association requires treatment to ensure the protection of their home and property.

Your stay includes a cleaning service after you check out. If you desire cleaning during your stay you will need to contact Trinity Maid Service directly and make these arrangements on your own.

There are usually some beach chairs, body boards, snorkels, fins, sand toys, coolers and other stuff that you are welcome to use. This stuff is usually out on the lanai. There should be at least 4 beach towels in the condo too.

The stand up paddle boards at the north end of the condo are individually owned by others in the condo complex. Unfortunately they are not available for use.

We are allowed one parking space for our condo. If you have more than one vehicle, you will need to make your own arrangements to park the extra vehicle(s). Parking permits are required, please fill out and leave on dashboard. Fill out dates of arrival and departure on the temporary parking permit

The Washing Machines and dryers are behind the office on the ground floor. Please clean up after yourself in laundry room after every use. Sand goes in trash, not down drain or in washers. Clean lint trap. You will need quarters to operate these appliances. The great news is that you can usually do an entire weeks worth of laundry all at once with all these washers and dryers at your disposal.No smokingNo petsNo parties or eventsCheck-in is anytime after 4:00 PM
