Mike was an awesome host and we had an amazing time staying at the cottage! It was so nice sitting on the back porch after a long day doing fun things in Maui, and we loved having a full kitchen, yard, and access to beach gear. We also loved how we could walk to restaurants or to the grocery store across the street. The nearby sushi restaurant called Nuka was one of our favorites and is just a 3 minute walk away.
The location is great for if you want to explore different parts of the island since it's so central. We drove the road to Hana, visited to several beaches on the west and south side of the island, and went to the Haleakala volcano at sunrise. Wish we could have stayed longer!
