Just an awesome place! 20 minutes from the airport or Kihei and beyond. Minutes from Iao Valley and quite literally around the corner from the Aquarium. Lahaina/Kaanapali are a beautiful 25 minute drive away and you're already closer to the starts of Haleakala and The Road to Hana than any of the big resort or tourist areas.
Craig's place is exactly the romantic getaway it looks to be. Located in a quiet property, the beach is mere steps away from the lanai. A loving sunset stroll along a miles (yes, miles) long pristine and natural, untouched Hawaiian beach awaits you. Spend your mornings watching the sun rise from behind Haleakala, giving the first light across Ma'alea Bay.
Inside you will find a well appointed kitchen with all of the cookware, utensils and devices you may need. The hall closet is full of beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards and the like, while the bedroom closet contains all of the linens and towels you may need. WiFi and Cable service in the unit are top notch. The AC unit, should you need, is more than sufficient to cool the place off quickly and keep it that way.
It doesn't matter if your plan is to chill in Paia before heading over to watch some surfing, seals and turtles at Ho'okipa, or to do some high end shopping in Wailea. This place is centrally located to all Maui has to offer and just cannot be beat! Craig was a wonderful host to work with. He is quick to respond to any question or need and always pleasant to communicate with. I will highly recommend Craig's place to family and friends who are looking to stay in Maui, and suggest to anyone reading this to stop looking. You just found your piece of paradise!
