The host was very responsive from the moment I arrived. The area is very safe and peaceful. The unit has a patio/lanai that wraps around the house from the garage to the entrance to the back and around the house to throw trash away, and it was my favorite thing about the unit. It was exceptionally clean without smelling like chemicals. Washer and dryer and all appliances work great. Extra amenities like large beach towels, linens, bathroom towels and hand towels with some soaps and shampoos. Full kitchen with lots of extras. T.V. worked fine at night for chilling out. Ten minute walk to one of my favorite beaches on Maui. Host was genuine and hospitable but also allowed me plenty of privacy and didn't over crown and over check-in once I was there. He did do a few quick check ins asking if I needed anything which was appreciated. As a Maui native myself, coming back for a visit in Scott's place was a real treat. It's not how most of us locals live on Maui. This place, compared to hotel rooms is so much better. Don't have to hear hotel doors banging all night and people going through the halls. If you happen to find this place and there is availability, I'd book now. It's a truly special rental.
