We had been staying at the Grand Wailea Resort which is highly rated online. It felt NOTHING like Hawaii. Luckily, I was able to rent Villa 4 for one last night. When it says you have a view of the ocean, it is quite an understatement. This little bungalow is the best gem of the island. As a person that spends at least 1/3 of my year traveling, I have to tell you, this is one of my favorite places I have ever rented. It's not the most luxurious, not the Four Seasons but it is above and beyond more special. A few steps from the house, as the sun was going down at least a dozen whales danced in front of the private beach across the street. I enjoyed conversations with locals who were ripping off their button down shirts to get in an hour of waves after their work day ended. Although located in the middle of entertainment, restaurants and action, Villa 4 is a spot that seems completely secluded... quiet. Although it was one night, it was the only memorable night in Maui. The owners went above and beyond for us to have one night which they could have turned down because I am quite certain it books a lot. Others have talked about the amenities and they were accurate. What they didn't relay is that there is magic at Villa 4. You are local at Villa 4.
