Important Disclosures & House Rules

We pride ourselves on transparency to ensure the perfect fit for our guests. Please review our house policies prior to booking:

Rental Agreement: A secure electronic rental agreement must be read, signed, and returned at the time of booking.

Location & Road Noise: The cottage sits off the scenic, two-lane Hana Highway. While the insulation and central air conditioning heavily minimize traffic sounds, please note that no refunds will be given due to road noise.

Tropical Environment & Local Wildlife: Our cottage is surrounded by a beautiful, thriving tropical garden. Because of Maui’s climate, you will likely see geckos (our friendly, local lizard neighbors), small insects, or ants during your stay, especially if food is left out. The property is professionally treated by a pest control service regularly, but in the tropics, nature coexists with us. If you are extremely sensitive to seeing local bugs or wildlife, a rural tropical setting may not be the best fit for your stay. No refunds will be given for the presence of standard tropical critters.

Strict Property Policies: * Absolutely NO smoking anywhere inside the cottage, outside, or on the property grounds.
No candle burning or open flames of any kind.
No loud music, parties, or outside visitors are permitted at any time.
