While it may feel to some that we have "stringent" House Rules, most of our residents appreciate the peace, curb appeal, and security that our House Rules provide during their residency at Kihei Shores.  For every rule that our residents and guests are expected to follow, there is a sound reason that rule exists.  Remember that the House Rules are for the benefit of all residents, owners and our property, so look at them in the big picture, not just how they affect the individual.  If you have any questions about why a certain rule or policy is in place, please don't hesitate to contact Kihei Shore Management.  We are happy to clarify and explain the reasoning behind whatever rule you may have a question about.  We have included some of our most common House Rule questions on this page for your reference.

While Hawaiian homes typically request that you remove your shoes before entering, leaving shoes in the walkway outside the front door is not permitted at Kihei Shores.  One reason for this rule is that visually, it can be unattractive to see each doorway with a pile of shoes outside it.  Shoes from a small household may not seem bad, but picture a household of 5, 6, or even 7 people all leaving 1-2 pairs of shoes outside.  Now multiply that image for every entry door here - not very attractive to guests or residents.  Another important reason shoes (or any other personal item, trash, recycling, etc) in the walkway is not permitted is that it poses a tripping hazard to others using the walkway.  While some doorways are at the end of a hall, or have their own entry, most others here have entryways located right at the top of flights of stairs.  Piles of shoes or other items could cause people to trip and be severely injured.  So, in applying rules equally and fairly, no unit may leave shoes outside the entryway.

On hot, humid days, nothing feels as nice a a breeze blowing around your room to keep you cool.  However, please refrain from putting your fan in the window when you go to cool off.  Not only is it unsightly to see a fans in the windows, but the image is made worse as the fan sucks that lovely Kihei dust out of the air and into the screen, leaving a brown fuzzy fan shape for all to see too.  So what are your alternatives?  Try a fan on a stand, or place your fan on a shelf close by the window, but not in the window sill.  WIth a minor adjustment you can have your cool breeze without breaking the House Rules.

There are a couple of reasons for this.  The state registration and safety tags are placed on the rear licence plate and bumper of a vehicle.  In order for security to be able to see the tags clearly, it helps to have the tags facing the parking area.  Additionally, nobody wants to have a vehicle's exhaust pointed at their open window or doorway - yuck!  There are a handful of vehicles parked on property that have requested and been given permission to reverse park, in the center parking stalls only, due to the length / body style of the vehicle where parking front in may cause the vehicle to stick out into the driving area posing a hazard to pedestrians and drivers. 

Each unit is given ONE reserved parking stall and one non-reserved stall.  Just because a stall sits empty for some reason, does not make it available to others, even if it is "just for a minute."  The new occupant could show up and find their first experience on property is someone using their stall?  Your vehicle could leak fluids, messing up a stall that another person is resposnible for?  When vendors, rental agents, sales agents, etc. are on property working in that unit, they expect to have access to that stall?  What about the other 216 condo residents who wish they could have a spare stall to use.  For all theswe reasons, please only park in the reserved stall asigned to your unit.
