Yes you can believe the reviews, the view is that good! If you get a chance to stay in Jim & Sue's, do it.
The location is fantastic. The access to the ocean wonderfully close, with a great beach. We snorkeled twice with turtles without leaving. The building is friendly, and the unit is fully stocked for all kinds of cooking and laundry, and the kitchen is actually one of the best parts of the space. Don't skip taking advantage of Jim & Sue's wonderful guides and tips. We took advantage of their guidebook on multiple occasions and really found their knowledge of Maui to be helpful.
The best endorsement I can leave you with is this, I would not only stay with them again, but will seek to do so in the future. Happy vacationing!
