This is honestly probably one of the best airbnb experiences I've had thus far. Before booking I read through all of the reviews and noticed that everyone raved about the amenities and Howard's constant communication. In the past, I've found that people tend to overexaggerate when writing reviews but I can attest that each review is more than true.
Leading up to our trip, Howard was always checking in with us and sending us incredibly detailed and useful guides and local tips to help us plan our visit. We went to the snorkel spots he suggested and they were incredible and not as crowded as the popular places we found on Google.
The condo itself was phenomenal overall. The space was clean and spacious for the five of us, especially with the two private bathrooms in each room. We were able to cook plenty of meals in the kitchen and even used the grills outside since we got tired of eating out every day.
The location was perfect for us since it's away from the large crowds and resorts but still close enough to everything else. It's about a 15 min drive to Kihei and Paia and about a 30 min drive to west side but it didn't bother us too much since the island is small.
Another plus is that there are plenty of beaches around the condo that you can quickly walk or drive to and they're very private and beautiful. There were some days where it was rainy and windy everywhere else but the area around the condo so it was the perfect getaway spot.
Howard also provides PLENTY of snorkel gear, beach chairs, boogie boards, and other things you may need on your trip which very useful since buying/renting those things can add up.
Overall we had an amazing trip and Howard helped us feel right at home. I can't recommend this place enough!
