Our stay at Carol's place in Maui was truly wonderful, and our overall experience exceeded expectations in many ways.
The house was within easy walking distance of a beautiful beach and set within pretty and very well-maintained grounds. There were so many fragrant and colorful plants and trees surrounding us -- especially around the lanai in back, where we would sit and enjoy quiet and privacy while watching the sun set over the hedge. The swimming pool was also quite nice and clean, with plenty of good chairs and some shady space to cool off.
The house was very clean and modern, and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and utensils for pretty much whatever we wanted to cook. Each bedroom had a seemingly brand new large screen TV, and the wifi was very dependable. Air conditioning worked well, though we found that the ceiling fans and cross-breezes cooled the air nicely without having to turn them on. Have a washer and dryer right off the master bedroom was incredibly convenient.
As a host, Carol went over and above to make us feel welcome and to make sure we had everything we needed. For example, when we had trouble finding the key to the beach supply bin, she came right over and brought us the two boogie boards we needed so we could get right to the beach. Her fast and friendly communication and responsiveness were the marks of a true pro at hospitality.
The house was ideally situated for us to enjoy the best of Maui. We had plenty of spectacular beaches nearby, and the drives to Haleakala, the Hana Highway, and other sights were not overly far.
Not only do we highly recommend this property, we can't WAIT to come back again sometime soon.
