guest parking spaces next to the tennis courts, or also at the 3 oclock

- Maui is not like Miami and some people may find that
they do not need any AC with the refreshing breeze from the ocean.
- If there have not been guests staying right before you, the unit may be hot inside upon arrival
as the doors and windows will have been closed, and AC turned off. The unit will cool down quickly
if you open all the windows and doors.

unit can be pointed in any direction or just used in the bedroom.

Garbage/Cleanup
As you exit the unit,
turn left and go about 30 feet and you will see a large garbage
bin for all garbage. There are recycling bins at the parking at entrance to complex. Please do
not build up garbage in the unit as the tropical critters start
to notice. The ants are very quick to seek out and find food on
the floor. Ants are a fact of life in Maui and we have the unit treated every 3 months.
There is a broom and a vacuum in the cupboard in the
bathroom.
Beach Equipment
- There is a
variety of beach toys, masks/snorkels, folding chairs, sun
umbrellas etc. on the balcony (lanai) that has built up over
time. We do not mange this equipment and the inventory changes
all the time as some equipment wears out and some guests leave
behind their unwanted beach toys.
Pool/BBQ
There is nice round pool
and BBQ area just behind our unit. You can see it partially from
the balcony. There is also a large lap pool just a little
farther away in the complex.
Beaches
The ocean is just a few steps away. At times the storms may have washed away easy access in front, so you can also go through the Valley Isle Resort a few minutes walk to the left (south). The beach gets wider as you go farther to the left (south) and there is also public park access a couple of blocks south. Kahana beach is usually a calm beach that is great for kids. If you walk north from our unit about 50 yards along Lower Honoapiilani Road, you can go down the right side of the Kahana Reef complex to get to an amazing calm and sandy beach that is great for kids and exploring. There is also public shoreline access to this beach a little further north next to the Kahana Village complex. Of course there are so many other beaches close
by that you will also want to explore. Please see our Beaches
page at
http://mauicheaprent.com/beaches.php for more info.

The complex is on the ocean side of the Kahana Gateway Mall
(locals will know where this is). The unit is #221 on the 2nd
floor. There is a long parking space for 2 cars end to end on
the left side of the unit which says 221. The driveway in the
complex is a narrow one-way road which goes in a big clockwise
circle from the entrance/exit at the main road. If you consider
that the entrance/exit from the main road is at 6 oclock as you
drive in, then our unit is very close to the entrance/exit at
about the 5 oclock position. As you are not supposed to go
counter-clockwise on the road, you may have to drive all the way
around the first time. As you get to know the complex you can
save time by just driving in a short distance to the right
against the one way if you see that no cars are coming out. The
unit numbers can be hard to see at night. There is a lockbox to
the right of the entrance that will have the keys. The complex
map is below the driving map.
