My wife and I were extremely satisfied with our stay in Cathy's apartment!

I'd characterize it as a place for folks who are looking for lodging that's quieter and more low-key than the big resorts offer, and who don't need or want their activities spoon-fed to them. The pool and hot tub area was lovely, and certainly a fitting spot for a relaxing afternoon, but that area really wasn't heavily used, and generally the only noise one heard from the apartment's balcony was the ocean waves (which were literally just beyond the pool). The building is in a fairly secluded area between the busy (and very touristy) towns of Kihei and Lahaina. There were a handful of restaurants and activities within walking distance, but we still spent a fair bit of time driving from place to place around the island. That was fine, though, as the driving was generally easy, and getting out to explore the various towns and beaches was part of the adventure we sought.

When we were in the apartment, we were very comfortable. Being on the third floor meant having privacy, as no one who happened to be down in the pool could see in to the apartment. The kitchen was well-enough equipped that we were able to prepare a couple dinners there (and store some leftovers in tupperware that was in the cupboards), and the family room, bathroom, and bedroom were all comfortable and tastefully decorated. This is a fairly windy part of the island, but that just meant nice breezes that kept the apartment cool. Between the large sliding door to the balcony and the several ceiling fans, we didn't even think about turning on the A/C. We also appreciated the fresh beach towels, and even the medium-sized cooler that was in the main closet (which was useful for keeping our lunch cool on several day trips).

Finally, Cathy was prompt and kind in all her email communiques with us, and even wrote a week or two before the trip just to touch base and ask whether we had any questions. Additionally, the married couple who worked the desk in the building's lobby were friendly and helpful.

In short, everything was terrific. Thanks, Cathy!
