We had a wonderful stay at Rhett's place and really enjoyed Maui. Kahana is a bit further north than most populated areas which makes it feel bit quieter and a little bit more local, which we really appreciated. That having been said, there is much to do nearby and there is no lack of facilities such as stores, restaurants etc. within a few minutes drive.
The unit is very well equipped and there are excellent notes describing where you can find pretty much anything you might be looking for in the area. One great advantage is that there is a beach directly next to the unit, so if you are not in the mood to drive out to explore one of the many spectacular beaches in the area, you can always catch a few rays and relax right at home. Another great advantage is the beautiful deck overlooking the ocean. One morning we actually witnessed whales breaching almost directly in front of us! Other than the fact that there is no lighting for nighttime eating on the deck, it is perfect. The only other concern we had upon arrival is that the bedroom is quite small. As a result, most clothes must be stored in a dresser in the living room. While not a serious problem, I mention it only for people that insist on being able to keep all of their belongings in one room. Storage in the bedroom was very limited. We certainly adjusted. It was not serious.
All in all, Rhett was a very helpful and communicative host who was readily available for any questions that we had which was much appreciated. If you're looking for an ocean view apartment I would highly recommend this place. It is clean, well equipped and well located.
