Stop browsing other places to stay in Maui; you've found the right one. The pictures don't do the studio justice. Waking up every morning to the sight of nothing but ocean waves, Molokai, and sky does not get old. My husband and I stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon and then moved to a resort for the second half, and we didn't want to leave Jay's place!

The apartment is located just far enough outside of Lahaina Town where you don't get the crowds, but close enough that we visited often. It is within walking distance to Maui Brewing Company and a small convenience store, a 5-10 minute drive to Napili (which has a larger grocery store and lots of good food), and close to tons of wonderful local treasures. We did a LOT on Maui, and Jay's place was always a warm, welcoming place to come back to.

Jay has provided everything we may have needed during our stay - appliances, silverware, dishes, toiletries, even laundry soap! The big-screen TV is equipped with Netflix, we had beach towels at the ready for when we decided to walk for 2 minutes down to the beach, and there is a portable AC unit for when Maui was hot (which, let's face it, was always!). Other people who have reviewed the place mentioned that it does get very hot in the studio, which is true. But it faces directly west and has high windows (to view the beautiful sunsets!) so from about 1:00PM on, the apartment gets direct sunlight. That's why it gets hot! There is a small AC unit in the apartment that takes the edge off the heat though. And the ocean is right there to cool off in :)

Overall, my husband and I experienced both studio-style living and resort living during our time on Maui. We MUCH preferred Jay's place. Like I said before, we didn't want to leave to go to the resort!

Jay was very friendly and accommodating to us before, during, and after our trip. He kept great communication with us when we had questions, after we booked, and after we left. He's a wonderful host!

Bottom line: you should stay here!
