There was an ungodly amount of rules at this property. So much so that we left the last two nights and booked a resort instead. There were a good amount on the listing, but I just figured the owners must have been taken advantage of in the past, so they are super firm upfront. The first thing they ask you to do, which most places also ask, is that you read the rule book. But holy moly, the rules are out of control. One example: "NO MARCO POLO. ITS ANNOYING." No slime, no play doh, no loud noises (in an outdoor pool!?), no sunscreen, no sitting on beds after applying sunscreen, no falling asleep on the couch and the most shocking to me was there is a rule that states if you are a woman on your period you must sleep on or sit on a towel anytime you are on the beds or couch. I just felt like I was the fun police and nervous we were going to get charged for breaking a rule the entire time we were there. It's also odd to me that none of the prior reviews mentioned these absurd rules! As far as the property itself it's gorgeous and equipped with everything needed for a day at the beach which was lovely!

Our stay was enjoyed by all. Essentials plus extras were provided. The pool was well enjoyed by both kids and adults! Waking to the pleasant sounds of birds, enjoying nearby beaches, and many options to eat out or stay in were much appreciated by our family. We are thankful Elaine shared her place with us, we have many memorable experiences.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Elaine’s bungalow during our visit to Maui. After spending the day exploring the island, we enjoyed returning to the house for pool time and relaxation. The entire property felt like our own private resort! One of the features we loved was the large, well manicured space outside to run around and chase lizards. The house was clean, cozy, and stocked with all the home essentials one would need including kitchen necessities and beach gear like towels, chairs, coolers, etc. We truly felt the house enhanced our trip to Maui and highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, exceptional, off-resort property in Hawaii.

Beautiful property in Wailea. We enjoyed the pool all day and Elaine was so sweet. Will stay here again.

We had a nice stay. Nice and private place in a nice quiet neighborhood. The cabin came stocked with all the amenities one would need.

We so enjoyed staying here, it was my husband and I with our 24 year old daughter and her boyfriend. Let me just say, none of us were too old to enjoy the pool and the water slide! It was so fun to have a pool that we could play beach ball volleyball in and just lay back on a floaty and listen to the millions of birds! The gazebo out by the pool was a lovely place to sit and watch the sunset in the evening. There are so many great beaches so close by and the town of Kehei is full of restaurants and food trucks. We loved having our own grill, we ate on the lanai most nights. It was nice to have laundry facilities so we could pack less. The house was clean as could be, well stocked, and just right for 4 of us. Elaine and Alfie were very pleasant but certainly not looming about. I would definitely like to stay here again!

Everything here is great!! The outdoor area is perfect for sun and shade. A great place to be before or after the beach. All amenities included and having a washer/dryer is the best! The reclining sofa is perfect for relaxing after a day out and about.

Great guest house. Easy to access everything on the island and outdoor space was great. Host can “theoretically” use the pool and that being said we never saw them.
