Some background about us: Family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young kids) from New York City. We had an extended vacation out in Maui and originally had Stephen's place booked for the entire 2 weeks we were going to be here. I decided to split our stay in Maui at Stephen's and then at the Hyatt Regency to get some variety. I had notified Stephen early on(3-4 months in advance) if i can shorten the stay, which he quickly adjusted and accommodated. Staying at both I can tell you that staying at the Hyatt was a mistake and I should have kept my entire stay in Maui at Stephen's place. His place is in a great location, immaculately clean and one of the best and well appointed places we've stayed in, and we vacation quite a bit. If you are on the fence about Stephens place, don't be you will not be disappointed.
