Great upcountry location; the website represents the property well. It's a good base of operations if you want to explore all that Maui has to offer - a perfect starting point for either the volcano or the road to Hana. And Makawao itself is a cool little town to explore in its own right. If you want warm beaches, you'll need to drive - the beaches at South Kihei are 45 minutes away. But if you're interested in exploring the island and in living like a local, Mark's place is a great choice.
