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 or 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 that hang out on the property.
The apartment includes WiFi, parking, smartTV and some beach toys that can be borrowed (stand up paddle board, 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.

Very compact but clean and pretty, beautiful garden. The surrounding area has a rather run-down feel, lots of boarded up shops, it was nice to walk around and explore the neighbourhood, but not much else to do. A nice place for a short stopover. Expect to be woken up early by roosters, possibly before dawn, but otherwise comfortable and highly recommended. Good communication and clear instructions from host.

Terry was great with providing info and recommendations. The place is clean and well stocked, including water bottles, sunscreen & towels. She even brought fresh bananas in the morning :) The bathroom has a cool surfboard shower and is only a step out the front door and has a lock. Felt safe a a traveling female.
Sweet kitties are around but not in the way/don’t touch you and don’t try to get into the apartment. Not the best place if you have a fear of cats, but there are no lions or tigers 😸

Place is small and as described. It was a great place as we needed it for a two night island hop for a wedding. Only downfall is all the cats that are running around outside and on the car. The room didn’t smell as long as you kept the windows shut, but there is AC to keep the unit cool. The owner is friendly and responds quickly.

Rental had everything you need and was great value for the price. It’s in central Maui so it’s easy to get around to all parts of the island

Great starting of point. Totally cool setup, everything you need is right there. Off the beaten path, even had an orchestra of roosters in the neighborhood to wake up to. Extremely relaxing. Good pick!!

This was the perfect stay for us for a quick trip to Maui. We were out most of the day and into the night so we did not spend a tremendous amount of time in the property, I mean its Hawaii so we wanted to be out exploring the beautiful island. The space was not a huge place, but it had everything we needed (and more). It was clean, cozy and beautiful. The owner was super friendly but also gave us our space. There were a number of chickens and cats but they kept their distance and were not in our space, but coexisted perfectly. The outside space was also extremely nice. If you wanted to cook there, utensils, cooking methods, and even some spice were available. I was a little concerned about the separate bathroom situation, but that was not a problem at all! I would 100% recommend this space for a quick or longer trip!

We had such a wonderful time staying with Terry. The apartment is spotlessly clean and so joyfully decorated and it has everything you need, including lots of USB plugs, kitchen equipment, etc. The bed is comfy and the shower is great. The garden is delightful and Terry had so many great local tips for food and entertainment. We felt right at home!

This cozy apartment was just what we needed for our island hop from Oahu to Maui to take the ferry to visit Lanai for a day. Terry is great and we stayed for one night so we could take a flight back to Oahu. When our ferry returned to Maui we chatted with Terry and had an amazing dinner at Tiffany’s just up the street. The apartment had an abundance of thoughtful touches for our stay and we met such great people. I am a cat lover, so we visited the cat sanctuary on Lanai and enjoyed Terry’s cats on Maui. We had a great time!

The room was clean and inviting, and well appointed.
The roosters are in the area are there to get you awake if you've forgotten your alarm clock!
Terry is a great hostess and ensured that my short stay was comfortable.

This was the perfect place to stay for 1 person or a couple. Nothing fancy but quaint and cozy. Perfect for active people looking for a place to rest and sleep in between site seeing, conferences or beach time. The host is fabulous. Will stay again!

This is a small efficient apartment that exceeded all our expectations. I would highly recommend this place for a couple or solo traveler. Although this trip I was with my partner, I would not hesitate to stay there by myself. It was quiet, safe, clean and comfortable. Definitely will come stay again if it’s available next time!
