We had an amazing stay at Joe's home in Maui. It is a short drive from all that Lahaina and other areas of Maui have to offer, but you also feel "away from it all" in the beautiful Napili area.
The home was immaculate, nicely updated and remodeled. Check in was a breeze and Joe and his management company were very responsive to emails and inquiries. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer, that there were coolers, chairs and water/beach toys for you to use, and that there were some basic cooking spices, oils, etc. We have stayed in other rental homes where they toss all of the cooking supplies after each guest leaves, so you have to stock up on those items to do any cooking.
We enjoyed "free" snorkeling that in our opinion was better than we have experienced with the snorkeling cruises. We snorkeled at Napili Bay, which is a short walk, and Kapalua Bay, which is a short drive or a doable walk. But the best snorkeling was right outside our door in Honokeana Bay, which is also known as Turtle Bay, for reasons that will be obvious once you snorkel there. Getting into Honokeana Bay to snorkel is a little tricky, but the neighbors are friendly and were all too glad to show us how to get in. Be sure to bring an underwater camera for some pictures that will help you to remember the beauty you will find under the waters in the Napili area.
The sunsets and the winter whale watching from the back patio were amazing!
