We had a great time at Craig’s place! He was very helpful and sent tons of local ideas for activities and food ... he even included pics of each one!
The location is super private and clean! The beach feels practically private, we crossed paths with a few other people while out there but no beach traffic like you get at the resorts.
Every day we watched sea turtles play just off shore!
It is a close drive to all the resorts, shopping and adventures - we had lots of privacy but never felt completely off grid.
He has a closet full of beach stuff - boogie boards, snorkel gear, ice chests and beach chairs, my teenage kids used the boogie boards and goggles, we used the beach chairs once and the ice chest to take on long road trips to Ioa valley and Hana. It was super handy and thoughtful!
If you stay here make sure to go to the plantation ... the coffee shop there is amazing and so is the Mill House restaurant! They have a pineapple tour, zip lining, beautiful grounds with duck ponds and koi fish ... it’s beautiful and relaxing - it is where we spent our last day.
Also - Maui brewing company has the best calamari on the planet. Both are super close!
Have fun! :)
