This is our second stay with Jay (the ultimate host.) We’ve been to various locations on 3 islands and this is still our favorite spot. Far enough away to enjoy solitude and serenity yet close enough to all the activities you could desire. Lahaina is about 15-20 minute easy drive away. There are several places to walk for food and drinks including Maui Brewing. Kaanapali Beach and Resort (shopping, restaurants, snorkeling) is a close 8-10 minute drive for a beach day. This isn’t the everyone leaves bits and pieces behind type place (can be useful for those who cook and need spices) but there are various thoughtful touches (forgot shampoo/conditioner/shower gel.... no worries.) We usually cook breakfast in unit and go out for lunch/dinner. Listen to the ocean to sleep, watch whales and turtles (during season) in the morning or catch a gorgeous sunset off the balcony.
