Overall, we would recommend this Airbnb. The pros are; 1) the location- you are able to easily drive pretty much everywhere on the island (Kihei, Lahaina, Road to Hana, and Haleakala were highlights). It is a quieter, less developed part of the island which was a pro for us. 2) Barbara- Barbara was an amazing host, very accommodating and communicative. There were even some nice touches that she added for our arrival. We will definitely try to stay in one of her properties if we visit again. 3) the view- by far the best part of the Airbnb was the view. Every morning we watched the sunrise and all day if we were in the Airbnb, we could see whales surfacing and breaching. Wow! The lanai made it all worth it!
The cons were; 1) unfortunately there was construction at the end of the pool that blocked the view if you were at the pool. Only one of the days was it loud, but this was a bit unexpected from the photos. I’m sure this will be completed soon, but may be a consideration. 2) cleanliness/updates- as shown in the photos, the showers could use some cleaning/updating and the bedrooms are not super updated. However, the sheets were clean and there are tons of extra blankets if you need them.
Overall, we would recommend this Airbnb for the view alone!
