Sometimes past me does a great job at picking a place to stay - this time, past me totally nailed it. This is one of those Airbnbs that exemplifies all of the best things about staying in someone's property instead of a hotel. Jim's place was absolutely perfect for our week and a half long stay! The kitchen and bathroom were both more well equipped than any vacation rental I've stayed in before. Jim goes above and beyond keeping the kitchen stocked with cooking essentials and little things you always need but never want to buy when you're on vacation. The bathroom was stocked with plenty of necessary toiletries and towels, and there was lots of great beach gear stashed for us downstairs (blankets! towels! chairs! ice chests!). If you brought clothes, you have everything you need - Jim has everything else! And really... it's Maui. You don't even need that much in the way of clothes!
My partner and I stayed here on our own, but the 3 bedrooms make for lots of space and it would be good for couples traveling together or a family with older kids/teens who need their own sleeping space. The location is absolutely perfect, and the noise from Charley's is only late on Friday and Saturday (it's also very manageable with the windows closed - if you live in a big city you won't even notice it). The lanai is beautiful and garden is well maintained, we spent a lot of time relaxing outside in between our many excursions. We didn't use it much but there is a warm water outdoor shower, too!
Jim is also very friendly and helpful and so easy to communicate with! I had a later checkin than I originally expected and he was there waiting for me so I could get settled in right away. It's a short drive from the airport and very close to many restaurants and Mana Foods for grocery needs.
