This is a great home for your stay in Maui! check in is super smooth and the apartment is beautifully laid out. It is about 1 min walk and just over the (safe crossing) road to a pleasant beach. Only a short (20 to 40 mins depending on location) drive to excellent coral reef snorkeling. The provided beach towels meant we saved room in our luggage and we used the snorkels masks provided as well. We did not use the pool but it looked beautiful. Laundry was also very easy we got help from caretaker who let us borrow soap for one lad before we left! He also gave us an avocado that fell from a tree by the apartment! At night the balcony has beautiful scents of the surrounding trees. There is mo external lights out there but its very pleasant to sit out morning and night. The bed is super comfy, nice shower and plenty of towels.
