Linens include one set of sheets per bed – all beds will be made with the exception of sleeper sofas. If equipped with a sleeper sofa, sheets will be available in the unit.

Smoking All of our rental accommodations are non-smoking. Smoking is strictly prohibited in units or on any of the unit lanais. The cost to return a unit to a non-smoking status is significant and can exceed $1,000. Guest will incur charges for any required carpet and upholstery cleaning, and further deodorizing needed if any evidence of smoking is found in unit. Any cost to return a unit to non-smoking status will be charged to the credit card on file.

If available, early check-in is the lesser amount of a half-day rate or a $75 fee. Late check-out is a half-day rate until 2:00pm, and a full-day rate after 2:00pm.

Each unit is inspected prior to arrival and again following guest departure. Should your unit require excessive cleaning, additional charges will apply and cannot be covered by Vacation Rental Damage Protection. The most common causes for excessive cleaning charges include, but are not limited to:

– Sand in drains, on floors, in washers and dryers

Lost & Found Maui Beachfront Rentals is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. All lost & found items that are recovered will be returned to the guest for the cost of shipping plus a $25 handling fee.

House Rules Guests are subject to a property’s house rules, which are available in the in-room directory or through the front desk or homeowner’s association office on property.

Falsified Reservation Any reservation obtained under false pretense will be subject to forfeiture of reservation deposit, damage deposit, and/or balance of rental payment. This includes understating occupancy (including children) or other violations of House Rules that can result in eviction without refund.

Interruption of Services / Disturbances Maui Beachfront Rentals will make every effort to ensure that all equipment is in good working order. Unexpected failure of any equipment will not constitute a guest refund. Provided that we are notified of any equipment defects, malfunctions, or damages, Maui Beachfront Rentals will make every effort to remedy the breakdown as soon as possible to minimize guest inconvenience.

No compensation will be given for temporary outage of pool, electricity, elevator, water, cable or WiFi service. Outages will be reported immediately and all efforts will be made to have them restored as quickly as possible. The operation and maintenance of utilities is out of the control of Maui Beachfront Rentals.

Guest understands the condo is a privately owned dwelling with Owner’s furnishings, and neither Maui Beachfront Rentals nor the Owner shall be responsible for providing any additional furnishings or equipment.

Should maintenance issues arise, guests are required to allow reasonable access to the property to provide remedy, and to make necessary inspections and repairs.

NOTE: Resorts and Homeowner’s Associations rarely give construction notices any more. Maui Beachfront Rentals makes every effort to get information about potential construction, but makes no guarantee that properties adjacent to the unit and/or resort will be free from disturbances, including but not limited to noise or inconvenience from construction, traffic or other guests or neighbors. Any such disturbance shall not constitute a breach of this agreement or give guest any right to refund or rental adjustment.

Guest also understands that Hawaii is in a tropical climate and, as such, insects, rodents and lizards flourish in this environment. Each property has quarterly pest control services which treat for pests found in tropical climates. Maintaining a food-free sink, garbage disposal, countertops, floors, and trash will help to minimize the proliferation of tropical pests. Although Maui Beachfront Rentals will use its best efforts to control pests, they do not constitute a breach of this agreement or give guest any right to refund or rental adjustment.

Guest understands that there are no refunds due to inclement weather including hurricanes or flooding. Maui Beachfront Rentals shall not be liable for events that interfere with your scheduled occupancy. Travel insurance is available and strongly recommended.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY Reservations are subject to availability. Because Maui Beachfront Rentals acts as a rental agent for individual homeowners, rental accommodations cannot be completely controlled. While problems very rarely occur, a situation could arise whereby the accommodations specified on your confirmation become unavailable – due to strikes, acts of God, failure of guests to vacate as scheduled, and/or sale of properties. Maui Beachfront Rentals reserves the right to substitute alternate accommodations up to and including the day of arrival. If Maui Beachfront Rentals has no acceptable alternate accommodations within their own inventory, guests will be provided with a full refund, which constitutes the full extent of liability assumed by Maui Beachfront Rentals.

While Maui Beachfront Rentals will make every attempt to remedy situations brought to our attention, we may not be able to foresee or resolve every scenario. In the unfortunate event such a situation occurs and Maui Beachfront Rentals agrees in writing that the guest may secure alternate accommodations on their own, Maui Beachfront Rentals will refund unused nights and services, less any costs incurred by Maui Beachfront Rentals, which constitutes the full extent of liability assumed by Maui Beachfront Rentals
