Summary
Wonderful clean 1BR house in a small old-hawaii-style duplex in Wailuku Town. This home has been lovingly well maintained to retain its historic character, while having been remodeled where it counts (like the kitchen!). Private off-street parking. Central Maui location in the heart of Wailuku Town where you can walk to an eclectic variety of shops.
Details
This cute plantation-era Wailuku Town house is absolutely perfect for adventurous visitors who are looking to escape the touristy trappings of South and West Maui. This is a safe, inexpensive and central home-base to adventure all over our wonderful island.
Although the unit is new to the market, the owners have been running two exceptional vacation rentals in West Maui for a few years now, and have received top ratings from their guests – this new unit promises the same!
This 1BR house has a queen bed and a/c in the bedroom, and a sofabed for extra guests in the living room. The living, dining and kitchen areas are an open and airy light-filled floorplan. Optimally located jalousie windows allow the sweet tropical tradewinds to blow though the home so you probably wont ever want to turn that a/c on anyway!
The owners are wonderful and also own and operate a business immediately adjacent to this house. While they are quite nonintrusive and respect their guests privacy, they are also very responsive and available should you need them.
Location
Located in the heart of old Wailuku Town, just ten minutes from the airport. This location is perfect for folks who plan on exploring all around Maui (something I suggest no matter where you stay!) It’s also worlds away in attitude and experience from the touristy hotels and resorts.
Wailuku is the capital town of Maui; completely non-touristy and down to earth. Compared to mainland cities, Wailuku is a sleepy laid-back small town, a throwback to much simpler times. In recent years Wailuku has seen a resurgence, with an eclectic array of hip shops and restaurants opening up alongside old-time Maui standards. You can walk all of Wailuku Town from this very central location.
Examples of what you might find strolling around the neighborhood: hip coffee shops, local clothing boutiques, hair salons, all different manner of inexpensive restaurants that aren’t on the tourists radar, antique stores, island-style pawn shops (with items like surfboards and Hawaiian antiques and jewelry you wont find in the resorts), a funky record store, yoga studios, the Maui Academy of Performing Arts, a smoke shop, historic Iao theater, a sushi bar, art galleries, a crystal shop, an authentic tiny New York style pizza joint – and so much more! Bonus: the first Friday of every month there is a block party where folks come from all over Maui to hang out, listen to live music, eat ...

Centrally located and spacious house with easy walking distance to cool shops and coffee spots. Fully stocked and large kitchen, easy parking and quick access to main roads. Highly recommend for a more "urban" Maui experience!

This place is huge for a one bedroom and within the price range we were looking for! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed since we cooked in the whole time. Lots of storage as well! It was nice to have outdoor seating as well. We really appreciated the washer and dryer (steps away) and beach chairs. Thank you!

Second time I have stayed at this cottage. It is lovely. Right in the middle of old Wailuku. Close to everything that I needed. Hopefully, I will stay again.

Close to airport, a 10-15 min drive, about $20's for a taxi. The street is busy, but once inside I really didn't notice it. It was very spacious, and clean.

We liked staying in a smaller community as we do have a budget—we also want to integrate with the community culture which provided Main Street, coffee shops, bakery and town square access within walking distance.

The pictures presented in this listing are a bit deceiving. It appears to be a roomy, lightfilled property that has a lovely garden view however, when we walked in, we were sorely disappointed in the outdated feel of the place. The baseboards and fans are caked in a layer of dust that lead me to believe that they have never been cleaned.
The bed and couch are terribly uncomfortable and hard. Not just firm, but worn down to the point that I can feel each crack in the bed and each divider on the couch. We normally don't have back pain but we woke up with much more soreness than we went to bed with. Particularly in shoulders, hips, and tailbone as those are our load bearing points during sleep. The couch/couch cushions also emit a musty, funky smell.
The kitchen area is fine, just be aware that there are a bunch of tiny ants across the counter top - I know this is Hawaii so critters are to be expected so just make sure the counters are clean to prevent any unwanted visitors.
The neighborhood is a bit run down but it is in an accessible location to see both sides of the island if that's the intended goal
The laundry is outside on the patio of a different unit with strange hours for use however there is a sign that says if you need the laundry at different times during the week it can be arranged.
The neighbors are noisy and there are dogs barking and roosters crowing at all hours of the day and night - the saving grace is that the AC unit provides some relief and ambient noise to drown out the roosters at 3am.
Overall, this listing was fine and served its purpose of a place to stay however we are not likely to return as the comfort level was far below expectation.
