We chose Marianne's place for our family of 6 during our 10 day holiday on Maui. She and Jeff were very easy to work with and Maui Bob (island local host) was also very easy to communicate with. We had a late night check in and had absolutely no problems getting into the condo. Everything was well represented by the listing and as a bonus there were local snacks and coffee waiting on the counter when we arrived.
The condo is well equipped for cooking meals and really nicely laid out for a family with kids. The master bedroom is on the opposite side of the condo from the other bedroom and each has a full bathroom. The pull out sofa in the living room was great for my youngest boys. There is a full sized washer/dryer and there was soap and dryer sheets available. The large sliding door to the lanai is great and opens up to a large putting green where our kids played every morning and evening. It is lit up with tiki torches and lights at night so it looks really cool. Just a few steps away from that is a great pool and hot tub area that has 5 large grills and an outdoor kitchen area for communal use. We met lots of our "neighbors" and our kids made friends to play with in the pool. Just a short walk across the grass from the pool area is...the ocean!! not an amazing swimming beach, but a great place to stroll along the beach with a cup of coffee in the morning.
There were beach chairs, coolers, an umbrella and a few body boards as well as a bin with beach toys which came in very handy with our 3 year old. I also noted that there was a stroller, pack-n-play and a high chair in the closet if we needed them.
The location on the island was great for beaches, shops and stores. We fell in love with Ululanis Shave Ice which was a quick drive up the road.
The people working in the management office were great as well, when we went to get parking passes they were very friendly and offered lots of suggestions of "not to miss" places that were suitable for a family with kids.
If we ever find ourselves on Maui again we will be happy to stay at Marianne's.
