Alexa’s place was clean and accurately represented through the pictures. The kitchen was one of the stars of the place. It was equipped with everything you made need: appliances, cutlery, laundry, detergent, etc. the ceilings are beautifully high giving the space an airy feel especially in the mornings when the sunlight streams through the living space.
The location was ideal for me and my fiancé. We were avoiding very touristy locations and wanted a more local town feel. Wailuku had exactly that feel. There’s a cute and hip local coffee shop (Wailuku Coffee Company) a 2 minute drive / 5 minute walk away- along with other small stores. Anything the town may not have had we were able to drive to. We were able to drive by the neighborhoods where most travelers stay (resorts etc.) and it’s very immaculate but not the feel we were going for.
Another great point about this location is that it was at about the center of everything we wanted to hit. It was almost equidistant from Haleakala’s base, Road to Hana, the “go to” beaches, and the popular towns and restaurants.
We loved Maui so much that we wanted to stay an additional day. Alexis was very kind and sent an Airbnb extension request so we can stay there one more day. It was seamless and efficient.
There were a few small ants as noted in some of the other reviews but there weren’t many and we knew to expect them. We saw a few the first two days and almost done the last two. In addition, the price was a little more than I expected but it seems that lodging in Maui is generally expensive and this location was the most budget friendly for what we wanted!
Overall, I would recommend this stay for anyone who wants to avoid the more touristy scene and plans to do more sightseeing than resort lounging!
Thanks so much Alexis!
