Would book a stay here again with Howard & Gloria in a heartbeat. First off - the location is perfect: across the street from the beach (Kamaole), 10 mins from the resorts/restaurants in Wailea. About 30 mins from the start of the road to Hana while the restaurants and beaches in Lahaina are about 45 away. Long drives are to see the sunrise at Haleakala which will take you an hour (and then an additional 30 mins to summit once you’re in the park) and roughly 50 mins to the Upcountry for the winery on the island.
The Airbnb itself is big, bright, and clean and honestly it was our favorite stay on our trip. You might be put off by price, but Hawaii - and Maui is indeed not cheap - but I find their place to be underpriced relative to many of the Airbnb’s in the area. So for us it was a no brainer. If I could retire and move in long term tomorrow I would without hesitation.
One other point of note for Howard & Gloria and their kindness. We arrived in Maui quite early and after having breakfast we were allowed to come by hours before check in to drop off our things. Well they quickly turned the Airbnb around and let us check in way ahead of time. So nice! Really kicked off our Maui portion of our trip on a high note.
