Safety Protocol: At IPM, the safety and well-being of our guests is our number one priority! With safety and wellbeing in mind, IPM has implemented the following guidelines which were compiled from recommendations made by the CDC, health experts and professional lodging associations including the American Hotel and Lodging Association, Vacation Rental Management Association and the Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Association:
- Linens to be laundered (to avoid shaking and movement of particles & to ensure consistent high temperature wash)
- All shared items in residences to be disinfected between guests
- Sanitizer readily available for guests in residences
- Unit cleaning staff is provided proper training and use of PPE while on property (donning and doffing gloves & masks)
- The use of only EPA Certified cleaning chemicals
- Vacuum cleaners with HEPA filtration to be used by cleaning staff
- Decontamination/sanitization of instruction documents that are laminated or shielded within the unit
- All high touch items are sanitized or disinfected between each guest (buttons, switches, remotes, knobs, window cranks)
Are IPM Ho’olei Villas affiliated with any other Resort/Hotel Amenities? Outside Resort/Hotel facilities and amenities ARE NOT included as part of the Island Property Management Ho’olei Rental Package.
In an attempt to offer our clients the best possible product, at the lowest possible price, Island Property Management has chosen not to participate in the Resort Rental Program, thereby significantly reducing rental costs to our clients.
All clients have the option of booking a room at a nearby Resort, in conjunction with their IPM Ho’olei Rental. Often times, the nightly rental cost of an IPM Ho’olei Villa, combined with the nightly cost of a Resort Room Fee, is LESS EXPENSIVE than the nightly cost of renting a single Ho’olei Villa through a Participating Resort Program.
Do your research! Unless you are a family that needs access to Participating Resort Amenities for the entirety of your visit, you can typically save thousands of dollars over the course of a week-long trip by following the above tip.
Do any Hotels/Resorts in Wailea offer day-passes? Yes! The Grand Wailea, Marriott, Andaz and Fairmont Kea Lani all offer day passes. Each resort is located within 1/2 mile of Ho’olei. You may view information about day passes here: https://www.resortpass.com/hotel-day-passes/Kihei-502

What is your Cancellation Policy?
- COVID-19 Cancellation Policy: Assuming a guest is unable to travel due to a positive COVID Test taken within 72 hours of travel OR a government imposed/mandated travel ban, cancelations will be processed as follows:
- REFUNDS: If a guest cancels their reservation and IPM is able to resell any of the guest’s reservation dates, IPM will issue a cash refund, upon receipt, for all dates that are resold.
- CREDITS: Assuming a guest cancels their reservation within 60 days of arrival and choses to forgo a refund (per the terms mentioned above), IPM will issue a credit on all monies paid based on the below terms and conditions:
- Credits shall not expire
- Your future reservation must be placed in the same Villa that was originally booked
- Rate differences for future reservation dates may apply
- Non-COVID Related Cancelations: For cancelations unrelated to COVID, Island Property Management will attempt to rent the unit during the specified contract period. Assuming the Villa rents for an amount equal to, or greater than, the stipulated contract amount, all client funds will be returned upon receipt by Island Property Management. Assuming the Villa rents for an amount less than the stipulated contract amount, client will be issued payment of said lesser amount (as REFUND IN FULL) by Island Property Management. Assuming the unit fails to rent, NO REFUND will be granted. Although not guaranteed, assuming the guest cancels within 60 days of arrival, the property will typically re-rent for the canceled dates thereby allowing the guest to receive a full refund.
- Travel Insurance: Assuming you need a cancellation policy that offers refunds, we have priced our units so that you may purchase travel insurance through our website at checkout. The price of our Villas, together with the travel insurance policy, are still less expensive than 90% of our competitors’. We price our Villas in this manner to provide options to our guests as most guests prefer to forgo insurance and utilize the existing Cancellation Policy + pay the lower price. Should you be interested, you may read about the travel insurance that is offered on our website here: https://islandpropertymanagementllc.com/reservations/travel-insurance/
- Moving Dates: We can usually accommodate all guest date change requests that occur 90 days or more before arrival, with the movement of reservation dates to the following year. The move must occur within the same Villa that was originally booked, and rate changes may apply.
We sincerely appreciate your business and look forward to assisting you with any travel related changes that you may require.
