Great place. Great price. In terms of the layout, this is a relatively “standard” studio. It has a good amount of space, a nice bathroom, and convenient location. As clearly described, this is a ground-floor unit. This offers a really intimate connection to the ocean outside (more below), but also makes the unit slightly less private than if it was higher up. This didn’t really bother me at all though.
There’s so much to this property and experience that stands out to me. First off, the bed is probably at most ~20 feet from the ocean. Looking out the back and seeing the endless sea…incredible. The sunsets were phenomenal, and I had a great time photographing them. The mattress is super comfortable and has an assortment of pillow options. The A/C was certainly sufficient.
Then there’s the host, Jay. He is probably the most communicative host you’ll encounter. I was very impressed when he proactively asked if I wanted to check in early (which I gratefully accepted!). Upon doing so, he sent me a list of all the local activities and restaurants. He seems to have thought of everything as this was the best-stocked AirBNB I’ve stayed in. From bottled water to beach supplies to two pairs of binoculars…he’s an exceptional host. Can’t say enough good things. Save yourself the time and just click the confirm button. Maui’s waiting!!
