I rely a lot on public reviews when looking at places to stay, and Elle’s place was wonderful! She was a great host and quickly responded to any messages I sent, so it was very easy to communicate with her!
There’s one bedroom and a pull out couch that perfectly accommodated three of us. The kitchen was big, and allowed for us to make meals and save money. She also has plenty of brochures about places around the area that were very helpful!
The location was also perfect! Right across the street (less than 5 min walk) was a smaller beach with a park and playground. It was hard to swim at because of the coral, however it would be perfect for little kids because there is a wadding area where the water doesn’t get high. We preferred to drive 5-10 min down the street to Kaanapali, where there was plenty of public beach parking. Also the Royal Lahaina Resort has the perfect beach (highly recommend) that you can walk down to if you park at the same spot. Elle’s place is also close to Front St. (10-15 min drive)!
Right next to Elle’s place (2 min walk) is a farmer market that opens at 7am, and specifically on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday they bring more freshly baked goods out into the parking lot, like breads and pastries. And next to the market is a coffee shop! This was all super convenient. Also in walking distance were a few plazas with shops, a gas station, and an area with different food trucks (5-8pm).
There’s even a swimming pool that was perfect to cool off at after the beach. Elle provided boogie boards and a couple towels as well!
Overall, I would highly recommend this place! :)
