Mark was a perfect host and great communicator! We had no issues with our stay. :)
LOCATION: This is the PERFECT place to stay if you're planning on doing the Road to Hana. Excellent starting point to get on the road early. We ran to the beach 1mi up the road - and saw 20+ turtles laying in the sun! Also Mamas Fish House is in walking distance. That's it though, nothing else is walkable (Paia town). Don't know if it was our luck with the weather, but the beaches on this side of the island were not swimmable. Very strong currents and rough water with rocky beaches.
CONDO: Great place inside, nicely decorated, up to date. Great bathrooms. The kitchen was nice to use to make some meals at home. NO AIR CONDITIONING. This is in the listing, but we missed it. The living spaces stay comfortable, but it makes it difficult to sleep as it is quite hot and sticky. Thank you for the additional ammenities - noodles, snorkel masks, beach chairs! They made our stay even better.
