Great place and awesome hosts. Take their advice, it’s worth every bit of it, they’re local experts! I enjoyed every minute of my stay; the house is beautiful, clean, splendid garden, patio and neighborhood. The beach only few mins walk away, if the pool is not enough! And have I mentioned the homegrown and homemade scrumptious breakfast?! Maxi and Woody are a lovely charming couple. I would definitely recommend staying with them.
Also, if you’re a solo traveler and don’t drive or rent a car, be prepared to take Uber/Lyft and buses to get to/from restaurants, shops and other busy places like Lahaina, Kaanapali, or down south like Makena. Buses run on the hour and end around 8pm. It’s pretty safe to travel on your own and you get to meet the locals. Also, tours won’t pick or drop you off at the AirBnB but ask to be picked/dropped at the Noni Lani Cottages, only a 10mins walk away. Me ka aloha!
