The defining factor that makes Airbnb a top choice for most travelers is their promise to provide the opportunity to book homes from local hosts and experience a place like you live there, your place on the other hand felt more like a time share than an actual home. Amongst the many rules tastefully framed and placed around the house our favorite by far was "treat our home better than your own" which comes off a bit condescending and left us feeling overall uncomfortable. It was as if we just took a step into the one room in your home, the room with the plastic covered sofas that nobody dare enters. There were so many rules in fact, that we never had a chance to relax and truly feel at home. There were rules for cleaning the counter, rules for using the AC, rules for taking out the trash etc. When you spend the kind of money your place was listed at $300-$350 a night, you shouldn't expect to be micro managed to that extent, let alone be asked to strip the beds, start loads of laundry and wash dishes amongst other chores when there was a "cleaning fee" of $299 already paid for.

Yes, you have a lot of wow factors going for you, the big TV, the designer kitchen, the furnished patio, but when your prices are comparable to the hotels and resorts nearby which provide more amenities and your home is left missing that "lived-in" Airbnb experience, well that is where this listing feels more commercial than comfortable.

Overall, you have a beautiful home with a great location, nothing that is unique to Maui especially for the asking price.
