Carol's home provides plenty of space to spend a week or longer in beautiful Maui, what you'd never get in a high end hotel across the street. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds were comfortable. There's plenty of beach toys, boogie boards, snorkels, floats for the family to enjoy. You do have to cross a highway to get to the beach, but really it's just a 5 minute walk (Or you can be lazy and just drive and park, which was never a problem). There's a touch of car noise from the highway, but you don't really see the highway; in fact you do get a bit of ocean view from the Lanai. If you're looking for a real home to stay in with all the amenities, then this is a great place to stay.
