RENTAL POLICIES & TERMS – PAULI FAMILY CONDOS

This document, our email trail & information on our website fully represent our accommodation and the terms and expectations of the rental. Payment by the GUEST and acceptance of such by the OWNER/MANAGER shows both parties agree to all the terms and conditions here-in.

Our top of the line Studio, 1 or 2 Bedroom, 1 or 2 Bath Ekahi condos offer ocean, mountain and/or garden views. They are a 2 to 6 minute stroll through our tropical grounds to Ekahi’s ocean front pool and gated entrance to Keawakapu Beach. The condos are all exceptionally well maintained and managed by dedicated owners. Most are completely remodeled and continuously updated and redecorated. You’ll find everything you’ll need for a relaxing stay.

LOCAL CONTACT

A local contact is available for each condo. Please reach out to this person for any questions that may arise during your stay.

They are also available during business hours to help with non emergency questions. Their contact info is provided in your arrival packet. They can help with most anything from advice on where to find things, to help with internet connections, extra cleaning, repair issues and more. If you should get locked out – check the back of the screen door for your contact’s phone number.

If you cancel the RESERVATION more than 60 days before your arrival date, a cancellation fee of 50% of the initial payment is charged.

For Holiday & Monthly Bookings use 90 days, not 60.

COVID – 19 CANCELLATION POLICY:

If Maui closes to trans-pacific travel or vacation rentals are no longer allowed to operate, and you are inside the 60 days (you’ve made full payment) then you have the option:
1. 100% credit to a future stay within 12 months OR
2. Refund equal to amount paid less 1 night rental. If we can re-rent your dates, we’ll refund the 1 night as well

BOOKING FEE & CONDO CARE EXPECTATIONS:

We charge a cleaning fee for each booking which helps to cover the cost of our housekeeper, this is not a pass to leave the condo messy or not help with the check-out procedures. At this time we do not require a security deposit. Some accidental damage is covered in your rent (a broken wine glass, missing towel, etc) but we reserve the right to bill you for excess cleaning and laundry charges above and beyond what is considered normal wear and tear. (See Liabilities below)

We make our Maui Home available to others on a limited basis when we are not using it ourselves. It is not a hotel room. We believe you will appreciate & respect the difference. The condo is well appointed & maintained. We expect our guests will help maintain it in that manner. For those wishing a more hotel-like experience, our housekeeping staff is available for additional cleans for a nominal fee. We do reserve the right to bill if extra time is needed for cleaning due to extremely heavy use. Treat our place as you hope a guest would treat your home and our expectations will agree. If you truly don’t wish to lift a finger, please consider a hotel.

RULES & RESTRICTIONS:

INDEMNITY & LIABILITY
The Guest is responsible for their own travel/health insurance. Neither the Owner nor Manager shall be held responsible in any way for accidental injury, death or damage/loss to personal effects of the Guest. You are accepting and assuming all risks involved in or related to the use of BBQ, kitchen, bath, and all common areas as well as the pools, beach and ocean.

Owner does not accept liability for any loss or damage caused by the acts of God i.e. Natural disasters, or other reasons beyond our control. If the Owner is unable to honor this agreement, payments shall be fully refunded unless the guest is at fault. Trip Insurance is suggested.

The Guest is responsible for all damages, excluding wear and tear and for excess cleaning and laundry charges above and beyond what is considered normal such as a sink full of dirty dishes, multiple loads of laundry, soiled upholstery or carpet stains.

Equipment & facilities are provided at the discretion of the Owner and while every attempt is made to ensure that such equipment is in working order for the duration of the rental period, should a breakdown or some other situation occur that renders the element unusable, we do not accept responsibility for refunding the Guest for the lack of use of these equipment or facilities. The equipment and facilities referred to include (but are not exclusive to) such items as televisions, cable service, internet access, printers, fax machines, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, etc

Our goal is to provide a beautiful, relaxing and fully equipped home for you to enjoy your stay in this tropical paradise as well as resources to help you “Live like a Local” should that be your desire.

The climate requires you keep food put away if you don’t want to be bothered by pesky creatures. We provide storage containers to make this easy.
Showers and water activities mean lots of towels & linens will be used. We provide more than you will need but ask you to use the Washer/Dryer for the dirty items when you take out fresh ones. Don’t wait til your last day.
Keeping sand outside will make you more comfortable inside. There are outdoor showers near the beach and pool for people & your stuff and hoses for rinsing off equipment near the condo. Sand will damage the carpeting too so we do provide a broom and vacuum just in case.
Your comfort is important to us. Air Conditioning is provided for your use but we request you help our island in its quest to maintain sustainability and turn off the AC when leaving the unit. Don’t run AC with windows open or set it lower than 72 degrees Farenheit. We love ceiling fans and have them everywhere in the condo and even now in our mainland home.
Maui’s gods will frown and often cause flooding if anything other than toilet tissue is flushed down the toilet.
Even in paradise sounds carry – if you don’t wish to have neighbors listen in on phone conversations, please don’t use the lanais as your phone booth. Be considerate of those around you.
SMOKING is NOT PERMITTED ! not only in our home and on our lanais but also within 20 feet of any window or door on property – this is HAWAII LAW! Wind is the problem. Pay attention to where it’s coming from. If you must have a smoke, be considerate and pick a spot where the wind won’t blow it into a neighbor’s condo or public areas. Perhaps no one will notice.
If time permits, leave us note in our guest book. We love knowing what your enjoyed doing or wish you had done on your vacation. Besides operating instructions, our renters manual has lots of info on activities and restaurants as well as some local recipes and resources.

We hope you will enjoy our Aloha – A hui hou (we look forward to seeing you again)!
