The house was lovely - so much thought went into making it comfortable and welcoming and just easy. We were five adults (three in their 20's, two in their 50's) and we had ample personal space while still feeling very much like a family unit. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms spacious, and we really enjoyed being able to open all doors and windows upstairs and take advantage of the refreshing breeze.
The house is a half-mile from the beach but really doesn't feel that far - we drove our gear down the first day but realized we preferred walking, it's no effort in either direction and was just the right distance to work up an appetite for dinner.
Marco went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay: lots of info shared ahead of time, so many recommendations as he got to know us, checking in to ensure that we were happy.
We loved Kihei and we loved the Coconut Cottage, cannot recommend it highly enough!
