Last minute stay in Maui …
We ended up leaving the Travaasa (BEEEEEEEAUTIFUL and tranquil resort in Hana) early because my 17 year old goddaughter wanted more activities before we headed back to the mainland. She had enough of the tranquilty and wanted some action on the island. After unsuccessfully trying to book at a few of the local hotels, we settled on Anke's centrally located condo. It was perfect! There were three of us, so we were not cramped and there was more than enough room to maneuver comfortably.
The location and the amenities were the best part of this last-minute gem! Literally, the condo is across the street from the beach. The waves break pretty close to the shore, but it's perfectly fine to lay out, get your feet wet, and enjoy the sun. Although we didn't use any of the beach equipment, there are plenty of options from which to choose on the patio deck. (Just don't bring sand into the apartment, as per the house rules!)The nearby restaurants are awesome - even though, the kitchen is pretty special at Anke's place. The bathroom contained the sweetest smelling conditioner and body wash - nice touch! Everything that you need is there … similar to a hotel stay.
I would definitely recommend and look forward to staying again, upon my return to Maui. Thank you Anke!
