Workers will be working on the walkway columns that support the exterior walkways. There will also be lanai work. Work is during normal business hours (8-5) Mon-Fri. No work on weekends. Work is canceled if excessive wind or rain. The project dates are subject to change and are dependent on material and manpower availability, as well as weather. We have discounted our rates substantially during this time for any potential noise and/or inconvenience. It’s a great time to take advantage of reduced rates for those travelers who plan to spend most of their days out and about with sightseeing, experiencing all of the great beaches and water activities, shopping, traveling to the different towns in Maui, dining, hiking, cultural exhibits, and exploring the other popular tours and activities that Maui has to offer. ~ As an Airbnb Superhost for 40+ consecutive times, we strive for a 5-Star worthy review and aim to make your stay as comfortable and amazing as possible. We are proud to be customer service oriented, and our ultimate goal is to continue earning your business in the future.

Everything is remodeled and new! The bed also offers a very expensive and advanced zippered allergen barriers (for both the mattress and boxspring). These are complete fabric encasements that are 100% pesticide and chemical free and offer 100% protection against bed bugs, pollen, and dust mites. ~ We also happily provide shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hair dryer, beach chairs, beach towels, qtips, cotton balls, hand soap, a cooler, yoga mats, & even a beach umbrella. We also offer totally free parking. ~ In addition, we provide "starter kit" supplies in the bathroom and kitchenette. Upon arrival, you will find 2 fresh rolls of toilet paper and 1 fresh roll of paper towels. This will be enough to get you "started". Our goal by providing "starter kits" for household paper products is to prevent the necessity for you to have to shop for these items during your first couple of days in paradise; after all, you are on vacation. ~ COVID-19 Cleaning Precautions: Please know that we have enhanced both our cleaning routine and our cleaning methods to offer extra protection for our arriving guests. Due to the coronavirus, we’re taking extra care to not only clean but to also disinfect frequently touched surfaces and frequently touched household items between each reservation. We have allotted extra time and extra cleaners to complete these tasks to lower the risk of infection. We are using cleaning products and household disinfectants that are recommended as being effective against the coronavirus. We are also paying special attention to frequently touched surfaces like keyless entry pads, light switches, doorknobs, remote controls, microwave buttons, faucets, toilets, and kitchen appliance handles. ~ Maui’s Secret Suite is located right in the heart of South Kihei in the very popular and classic Island Surf Building which sits on 1.5 acres of pristine Maui real estate. This popular complex is just a couple blocks away from the well known Charley Young Beach and DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET from the world famous Kalama Beach Park. These are arguably two of South Maui's BEST water activity beaches and serve as the perfect pivoting point for all of your wonderful Maui activities and adventures. ~ Guests have access to a HEATED swimming pool on the roof of the second floor with incredible views looking out towards the ocean. Heated pools in Maui are very rare, reserved mainly for super high-end resorts, so this is a real treat! Let your stress melt away in the pool lounge chairs while sipping a Mai Tai as you bask in the sun and swim in the heated pool. Great BBQ area at the pool with tropical breezes each night as the sun sets. Simply walk across the street (less than 100 yards), and you will have direct beach access at anytime. ~ Original artwork throughout the condo features the very popular local Maui photographer and artist, Wendee Savary. Wendee Savary's amazing photos are also available for purchase at: HonuAndMorePhotography on Face Book. :) ~ Lots of personal and professional touches have been used as well to enhance the Island atmosphere and we have even proudly partnered up with a local vendor offering Maui activities, adventures, and experiences at incredibly low and affordable prices, saving our guests even more money.

The complex has a newly renovated pool and barbecue area along with it's very own dedicated parking lot. There are many local eateries, shopping and lots to explore. Pick up supplies from the convenience store, and enjoy a massage or manicure at the nearby salons and shops located on the ground floor. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION..... ~ Rent bicycles, surfboards, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel equipment, and diving equipment all onsite right inside the Island Surf Building. As a special bonus, one of the best surf schools is just across the street if you would like to take surf lessons. Other onsite amenities (right in the building) include cafes, delis, coffee shops, beauty salons, tattoo parlors, massages, day spas, gift shops, nail salons, beach living home decor, Maui Island Realty, Grab n Go Market, ATM Machines, Fusion Beach Cuisine dining, locally made Kombucha, and even an awesome "Man Cave" store. ~ Kalama Beach Park (directly across the street) offers adventures, activities, and mile long paved oceanfront walkways with plenty of benches to take in the beautiful Maui sites all along the incredible coastline. You will be able to watch graceful whales play and catch the most fabulous panoramic sunsets and vibrant rainbow-striped skies. It is truly postcard material. ~ Kalama Beach Park also has beginner surf break for those interested in surf lessons. You will also discover an inline skating rink, playground, skate park, beautiful fields with fragrant trees and flowers, tennis courts, basketball courts, and even volleyball nets. There is a sandy beach for sunning and making sandcastles or simply enjoy Maui's magical sunsets with a tropical drink while watching surfers stand tall in the background. ~ Charley Young Beach is just steps away and a very popular choice for those wanting to experience snorkeling with lots of sea turtles and colorful fish. It’s also a great sandy beach for tanning in the sun or taking a morning stroll. :) ~ You will also be within very close walking distance (within a couple of blocks, literally a 3 minute walk) to even more restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, shave ice, outdoor markets, food trucks, live music, pubs, and a very fun night life at the popular, "Kihei Triangle". ~ Our prime location provides unbelievably, easy access to South Maui's most popular activities and attractions.

The heated pool and bbq grills are on the 2nd floor. You will need a key to access the area. The key is hanging inside Maui’s Secret Suite on the turtle hook (in between the fridge and the closet). Please return this key when you depart. We offer beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and a cooler. Due to Covid and other infectious diseases, we are not providing any snorkel equipment at this time as we believe it is a hygiene issue, especially since there is a mouthpiece. Kihei Food Oasis at South Maui Gardens is right next door. There are lots of food trucks there, and they are open 7 days a week from 11am to 8pm with live music every Saturday. Our Maui Property Manager, Tracy O'Reilly, lives on Island and is readily available but invisible. :) * Tracy O'Reilly is an Experienced SUPER HOST that has been with Airbnb since 2009 and has a proven track record of hundreds upon hundreds of 5-star reviews. ~She owns Tracy's Tropical Treasures which were voted the #1 vacation rentals in all of Maui! If your particular dates aren't available at Maui’s Secret Suite or if you are traveling with a group, please contact Tracy via Airbnb, as it may be possible to book one of SIXTEEN other units she manages on Airbnb in South Maui. Maui’s Secret Suite is located in South Kihei at Island Surf, a 6 story white building, which is directly across the street from Kalama Beach and Kalama Park. It is on the corner of South Kihei Road and Auhana Road. The address is 1993 South Kihei Road. After your booking is confirmed, you will see helpful photos on your Airbnb page under “My Trips”. Go to the section called “Check-In Instructions (keypad)” for your very easy, Step by Step instructions including Step by Step, helpful photos. ;) Maui has been voted the "Best Island in the World" for over 23 years. With daytime temperatures ranging from roughly 85 degrees F during the winter, it's easy to see why Maui is such a popular destination choice and the #1 island in the world. Here’s why I think the South side of the island (where Kihei is located) is the best place to stay. South Maui really has it all! ;) The sunny South shores of Kihei offer 6 miles of popular, sun kissed beaches with warm, balmy days and cool, tropical nights. Typically, humidity levels in Kihei are VERY LOW and the annual rainfall in Kihei is LESS than anywhere else on island. :) Kihei is a sizable beach town with plenty of places to eat and fun things to do. Kihei is definitely the hub for Maui surf lessons and is considered the true pivoting point for all of Maui’s popular outdoor activities. Most of the accommodation options in Kihei will be condos with full kitchens (enabling you to save even more money if you choose to cook a couple meals at home). Kihei is definitely less crowded and more affordable than the West side. The beaches in Kihei are more plentiful, also less crowded, and quite a bit more accessible than those on the West side. You will definitely find more parking and better marked beaches in South Maui. In addition, most of the beaches in Kihei can be seen right from the road and Kihei offers totally free parking unlike the West side. ;) Kihei is closer to Haleakala (hiking), the road to Hana, Iao Valley, and the airport than the West side. Kihei is more private, intimate, and affordable than the West side. Kihei is also closer to Paia, Makawao, Upcountry, Kahului, and Maalaea than the West side. Kihei has the least amount of rain of anywhere on Island and is more laid back. It is not only drier but it is also sunnier. ;) Kihei Boat Ramp is less than a mile from the condo. There are numerous snorkel and dive excursions that launch from this popular boat ramp every single morning offering options that include exploring the coral reefs at Molokini or swimming with the turtles at Turtle Town. The only beach in Maui that used to be reserved for Hawaiian Royalty is within 3 miles of the condo. It is a very popular beach for canoeing, kite surfing, viewing sea turtles and whales, or simply basking in the sun. Picnic tables, grilling areas, free parking, and outdoor showers are all available at the beach across the street. Do as much as you want or as little as you desire. ;) ~ The National Humpback Museum and Whale Education Center for Maui is within 3 miles of the condo. They offer free educational classes and plenty of free, outdoor telescopes so you can get an up close and personal view of the Humpback Whales swimming and jumping in the ocean just in front of the museum. The longest beach walk in all of Maui is in Kihei (within 3 miles from the condo). Within a few miles from the condo you will also discover additional white sand beaches, fun ocean activities, several parks, loads of restaurants, groceries, shopping, banks, ATM machines, live entertainment, skate parks, basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts, surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, yoga centers, the Kihei Town Shopping Center, the Kihei Boat Ramp, Farmer’s Markets, dance clubs, live music, nightclubs/bars, Craft Fairs, and even several open-air Maui Marketplaces. Hop in the car at the condo for a very short drive (less than three miles) to three, world class, championship golf courses as well as the popular and breathtaking Wailea resort area offering upscale shopping, incredible sightseeing, and romantic dining options. Higher end resorts like Four Seasons, Andaz, Grand Wailea, and Kealani are all in Wailea which is just 3 miles South of Kihei. Wailea also has an award winning spa at the Grand Wailea (best spa in Maui). Wailea is a resort community just south of Kihei that includes several mega beachfront resorts, some nice condo complexes, world class restaurants, and an upscale outdoor mall. The whole area is extremely lush and artistically manicured and looks just like the Hawaii of your dreams. When I’ve driven people down to Wailea after seeing other parts of the island, they’ve said “now THIS is truly PARADISE and what I envisioned all of Maui to look like.” To me, Wailea is the epitome of luxury. ;) The Shops at Wailea is the nicest shopping center in Maui and it is only 3 miles away from the condo (very upscale). A few more miles South in the car and you will discover the world renowned Makena area, where many famous people choose to reside. Lahaina and Ka’anapali (West side) are a one hour drive from the main airport, and Kihei is only 15 minutes. In addition, the condo is only 9 miles away from the main airport in Kahului. ;) Finally, worth mentioning, is the fact that there is only “one road in and one road out” for the West side of the Island. When that road gets shut down due to a car accident, you will be trapped for hours and hours (sometimes even overnight). This is one more reason why I always choose Kihei over the West side. :) Maui has been voted the "Best Island in the World" for over 23 years. With daytime temperatures ranging from roughly 85 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter, it's easy to see why Maui is such a popular destination choice and the #1 island in the world. Hawaii is absolutely paradise, and arguably, one of the most gorgeous states in the country. The islands have it all – pristine beaches, phenomenal sunsets, striking waterfalls, and majestic mountains. It is no wonder why so many visitors flock to the islands. We also have “Maui Bus”. There is a bus stop within a couple blocks from the entrance to the condo complex . :) Taxis, Lyft, and Uber are readily available on the Island. Due to our property cleaners’ schedules and our regularly scheduled condo maintenance items, early check-ins and late checkouts cannot be accommodated at this time. Almost all of our bookings are back to back (same day in, same day out) which makes things trickier. If you have a late flight out or an early flight in, we highly recommend that you consider booking an extra night if it’s available to better accommodate your flight schedule if you want to arrive early or depart late. Thank you in advance for your kind understanding. Please note no mail delivery service available at this address.
