My mom and I had the most incredible time at Rhett and Maria's. The balcony view alone is worth a million bucks. It's simply an amazing feeling sitting on the balcony drinking a glass of rosé, eating your dinner or breakfast watching the waves and the most exquisite sunsets in the world listening to the waves crash. We saw whales and sea turtles every day from the balcony and honestly couldn't wait to rush home every day following our excursions to enjoy the ocean view. Everything about that view is magical and honestly I don't think any fancy hotel could replicate being so close to the ocean and the calm sand serenity of the apartment. It really feels like you're at sea with the view and sound of the waves. We also loved using the kitchen to cook, pool and BBQ and being able to walk 20 steps down to the beach which was pretty much private and far from the crazy busy Maui beaches near the hotels. All the attention to detail in the house with the beach and Maui touches were also appreciated. Also Rhett was so quick in responding to any problems like a missing snorkel and had a whole set sent within hours. Also the location of the apartment was great in Kahana away from the crazy Laihana touristy area. Simply perfect. This was definitely our best airbnb experience and I've travelled the world for years using Airbnb. Mahalo a million for this unforgettable experience! We will be back!
