Overall 5 Stars - Stayed 3 nights
Pros: Location & communication with the owner/manager. Cons: None (seriously!). If Airbnb needs an example of the perfect rental, this would be it.
To start, the space was spotless and had everything. The bathroom had everything my girlfriend needed including a blow drier, shampoo, body wash and one of those mirrors that makes her tell me all about her pores.
In my opinion, you'll need a car if you rent here. Generally speaking, you'll need a rental car to move around Maui no matter where you choose to stay.
Nighttime... 5 minutes to Monkeypod & The Four Seasons for some happy hour cocktails. Kihei is close too with plenty of inexpensive dining options, check out the fresh tuna at Three's Bar & Grill or Breakfast at Nalu's. A seven minute drive to a grocery store for the essentials.
The owner provided the beach gear for a day Big Beach (15ish minute drive). Make sure to stop by a food truck along the road for lunch during your day at the beach.
Overall, fantastic experience. You will not be disappointed with this rental.
