The house is beautifully decorated and restored and our room was comfortable but a bit small. Gary and Marianne are very personable and easy to speak with and provides a good amount of valuable information. The shared bathroom is also very beautiful but is shared! We didn't have any problem with this but some others might. You definitely feel that you are in someone else's home. Marianne provides guidance/advice/rules for use of the kitchen but tries to accommodate as required. Having contact with Gary and Marianne did help to broaden our great experience in Maui. Note: they also have a small self contained house on the property that may be rented so, if you have some flexibility with your schedule and a bit more money it could also be a great option.
