We had a wonderful stay at Josh’s place on Maui. The apartment is updated and clean, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals, and the beach is literally in the backyard. We saw lots of sea turtles in the water and a massive one on the beach right behind the condo.
Josh’s place also provides beach gear for use (snorkels, fins, beach bags, blankets, towels, cooler, chairs) which was really nice- we took that stuff everywhere and we were glad we did. The washer/dryer came in handy as well and the linens on the bed were dreamy. We slept so good!
There isn’t much within walking distance so we had to take the car to get anywhere, however Kihei is the closest town (10-15 minutes by car) and everything you’d need is there, groceries, beaches, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Lahaina was a little further (30 minutes by car) which is more of a tourist area, mall, lots of restaurants and hotels, a boardwalk, etc.
