The central location is really great! While there is no ocean view and no patio, the sliding door in the living room opened to give a wonderful view of Haleakala. We were able to make a couple simple meals in the kitchen and the new freezer cranked out ice faster than we could drink it. Having a rice cooker and Ninja blender was a real treat. It was only a short walk down to the front lawn and the beach. The thing that truly set this place apart was the responsiveness of the host. Whenever something came up, they were very prompt and tried to fix it immediately.
