I can still hear Alice's voice: "Have you been to the beach yet? Go to the beach, go to the beach." This is the mantra when staying at Alice's. Yes, it's a little outdated and kind of like visiting your favorite auntie's apartment when you were a kid, and probably you wouldn't make use of the advertised bathtub with jets, but just Go To The Beach. It's right there. When we were there, it felt like it was practically all ours for morning walks and sunset swims. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable with good wifi and literally steps away from the water and the magnificent Maui sunsets. Alice is a responsive host who leaves chocolates, water, fruit (the lemons from her garden make the best Gin & Tonics), flowers and Hawaiian music playing when you first arrive. She calmly returned a panicky call from me the day after we arrived because I couldn't find the coffee filters and was having a mainlanders freak out (yellow flowered ceramic next to the coffee maker that looks like it is the sugar container). Pick up poke at Eskimo Candy or Foodland, a bottle of sake or local beer from Maui Brewing which is literally up Lipoa about 7 minutes away, and Go To The Beach - watch the sunset. Repeat. Day after glorious day. Great base to do all the activities you've planned, or as we did, just relax and enjoy your own little bit of paradise. Definitely recommend, saving my pennies to return ASAP. Thank you Alice.
