Words cannot express how much we loved Carol’s place. The pictures really don’t do it justice! The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook many meals, and there was plenty of counter space. The dining area was very nice and had plenty of room as well. The living area had the most wondeful, cozy sofas. The layout of the main living area was great - since there were several seating areas, the teenagers could each have their own space while still being together with the adults. I also appreciated the little touches like the ceiling fans and stereo already being on when we arrived, that was very welcoming. The decor is somewhat modern with a vintage Hawaiian feel - the perfect combination. Bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely sized and in good shape. We were very thankful for the use of Carol’s quality beach chairs and umbrella, as well as the washer/dryer. The location is great - the beach at the end of the street was great for snorkeling and bodysurfing, and less crowded than Ka’anapali despite being right next to it. We didn’t have any trouble parking at the beach, and we also walked to it once. I can only hope it won’t be too many years before I get to visit Maui and stay in this beautiful cottage again!
