PROS: Best snorkeling on Maui, incredible views, and perfect location! This was our first time visiting Maui, and Ed's place was exactly what we needed. Waking up every morning to the sound of the waves and the beautiful ocean right outside our door was pure heaven. It is located just 15 minutes or so from Front Street in Lahaina, and it is also super close to Maui Brewing Company, which is a great local brewery with awesome food (check it out if you have a chance)! We went snorkeling to at least 5 places on Maui, and I am not kidding when I say the snorkeling just outside Ed's back door is the best we found. We swam with six giant sea turtles at once and saw loads of colorful fish we didn't see elsewhere on the island. The snorkeling alone makes this place worth it!
CONS: Our only mild complaints are that the decor and furniture are a bit outdated/old, and I think the couch is probably nearing the age of needing to be replaced. But we didn't mind much, because we weren't in the condo all that much. There were also some very dusty areas of the condo and a few spots with some very tiny bugs that liked to crawl around (but that might be the nature of the tropics and of Hawaii). Lastly, the AC unit is located in the bedroom and only really helps to cool that room down. The living room and kitchen got quite warm during the day, so we needed to keep the front and back doors open to create a cross-breeze.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and Ed was very communicative. He sent us a very helpful document with recommendations and details for the stay, so we found that to be quite useful. Thank you for letting us enjoy your slice of paradise!
