Howard's place was a perfect introduction to Maui for us. The house is new and clean. Our room was comfortable. The shared space was plenty large with an amazing deck looking at the water. The self serve breakfast and coffee was fun and let us keep our own time. The best perk was that due to the location, we got a head start on the road to Hana. We were at the first major stop at the time most people were just starting the road west of Howard's place. Though we didn't hit many crowds on the road, we can see this as a huge advantage during peak season and a big consideration if you're planning to go down the road to Hana. Mohalo Howard!
