Mel is an awesome host, very friendly and extremely courteous. His morning breakfasts are most appreciated. The apartment is a very comfortable size, the bed is a queen. The home is secluded, about a quarter mile up a country road off the highway. Look for the yellow fire hydrant 50 feet from the road. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing, get away from the resort hussle and wanting to see wildlife (pigs, mongoose, birds, etc) then this is a great place to stay. Nice views of the ocean and of Maui through the clouds. The house is an hour north of the airport, and a relaxing country drive. It served our needs, as we needed to unwind and take it easy on the first leg of our Hawaiian vacation.
