House Rules

Signed Rental Agreement (link will be sent to you via email) is due immediately upon payment as a condition of confirming this booking. Click "Rental Agreement" in menu bar above to view this RA.

Posted House Rules

1. Quiet hours are from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., during which time the noise from the Tranquil Palms rental unit shall not disturb adjacent neighbors or Guests.

2. Amplified sound (TV, music etc) audible outside the Tranquil Palms rental unit is prohibited.

3. Vehicles shall park in the designated parking areas and shall not be parked on the street. When locking your vehicle, please avoid sounding the horn. (Single press on the Lock Button.)

4. There is No Smoking of any kind allowed indoors or outdoors within 50 feet of any building. Host will inform Guest of acceptable outdoor smoking locations on the grounds. Properly dispose of any smoking waste (i.e. cigarette butts) in an outside trash bin. Do NOT discard on the ground or in the bushes, vegetation, etc. Guests are responsible for the cost of removing any lingering smoke odor inside the rental unit, regardless of how or where the smoking was done. Guests agree to pay such costs or that they may be deducted from Guests’ security deposit refund.

5. Illegal drug use is prohibited anywhere on the property. Violation may result in immediate eviction of the entire Guest Party.

6. When leaving for the day, please:

a. Turn off A/C and electric items.

b. Close window sliders or leave open around 2-inches, with the blind vanes pulled back so the wind does not blow the vanes around. (Blind vanes can detach in our lovely tropical breezes.)

c. Interior doors can remain open on their latches, but please lock the security screens or sliders.

d. Owners are not responsible for Guest belongings.

7. As is standard practice with vacation rentals and to maximize your privacy, housekeeping services are not provided during your stay. Prior to entering the home: kindly remove your shoes, shake beach sand out of all clothing, and store all items that have been to the beach outside. The garden hose is handy for rinsing.

8. Important: Put ONLY water down the sink drains and only “normal” waste and toilet paper down the toilets, please! We are on septic/cesspool and therefore no waste materials – including sanitary products - may be disposed-of down the drains or toilets.

9. Tranquil Palms premises (rental units and grounds) are for registered guests only.

a. No parties, events, or group gatherings of any kind are allowed.
b. Guest day-visitors allowed only with Host prior notification and approval.

10. Please be kind and gentle with our lovely Maui by using the Air Conditioning responsibly:
a. Set temperature no lower than 72 F.
As with any A/C unit, setting a temp lower than 72 will NOT get the room cooler quicker.
b. Lower set temps will be reset to 72. A/C may beep when this occurs.
c. Close bedroom door and windows when A/C is on.
d. Do NOT leave bedroom doors open to cool the living space. A/C units are not sized for that.
e. Turn A/C OFF when leaving for the day or not using the bedrooms.
f. At night, consider opening the bedroom windows and setting a fan on the window sill to bring in the heavenly cool tropical night air.
g. Your cooperation allows us to avoid having an A/C surcharge.

Reviews: "The place was very easy to find, spacious and quiet. The hosts provided extra amenities such as a cooler bag, snacks, extra beach towels, umbrellas, which were very thoughtful."

"If you like to live in peace and quiet, then Tranquil Palms is for you. The name suits it perfectly. With lush tropical surroundings and views of the ocean, it is the perfect place to start and end the day on your Maui vacation. I like that it is located away from the tourists on the south and west shores, though still close enough to visit those locations should you choose to do so. The location is perfect. It reminds me of old Hawaii and is very relaxing.

I felt very private with my own entrance and double door privacy from upstairs. The patio is fully furnished and is a wonderful place to hang out pre or post activity.

The amenities of the suite are impressive; the tidy kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils and crockery and it also has a vast array of picnic items and other supplies you will find super useful, tupperware, a day cooler, ice packs, assorted snacks, teas and coffee. They provide beach gear, i.e. high-quality Tommy Bahama chairs, large beach towels as well as assorted other gear for your use, so you are all set for going to the beach which is super convenient.

The bathroom is spacious, and the bathtub/shower has great pressure. Thoughtful touches abound in the Areca Suite, the robes and slippers, the board games, the Maui sightseeing books and the suggestions in a thoughtfully prepared house book. The bedrooms and living space have overhead fans and those are nice on hot days. There are a/c units in the bedrooms, but I didn’t need a/c. I left the screened windows open at night and I was comfortable. The whole place is filled with light from the blanket of windows on the view facing side, yet you still retain your privacy without closing the drapes."

Neighborhood overview
Areca Suite at Tranquil Palms is a peaceful, rural location to get away from crowds and enjoy nearby waterfalls, hiking and communing with nature, but still close to shops and restaurants. We're about 10-15 minutes to the nearest beaches (Hookipa, Baldwin, Sprecklesville), great restaurants and 20 minutes from Costco, Walmart and Target in Kahului. If you prefer the South/Central beaches of Kihei they are just a short 30-40 minute drive away.

We're perfectly placed near the start of "The Road to Hana" for you to explore. We're also well-placed for a day to visit Haleakala Crater.
Getting around
We’re located near the beginning of “The Road to Hana” and so there’s plenty to do right here. It's a beautiful tropical location, with lush greenery and flowers and impressive waterfalls close by. Twin falls is a short distance away, also Na ili ili-haele Stream & Waterfall and Waikamoi Nature Trailhead. The Gardens in Haiku are nearby and The Garden of Eden Arboretum is a short drive away. There’s great stores and galleries in Paia and Makawao (approx 6 miles each) or visit Haleakala Crater for that once in a lifetime experience.
