We stayed in 4 different places in Maui - 3 right on the beach and Sydney's place in the woods in Makawao. The stay at Sydney's place was our favorite.
The house is very well kept, clean and has great views.
While the house seems far away from things, it's not... it's really easy to get to the beaches of Paia.
Sydney is a great host. She was responsive and welcoming when we first arrived. Her private tour of her property was a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend doing the jeep tour. We had a blast taking the tour and we even did the tour with a 7 month year old :)
If we ever come back to Maui, we will 100% stay again at this house.
