We were blown away with how beautiful this place was, we wish we could of stayed longer!
1. Interior - Much more updated than depicted in the photos. The host have updated the sectional, cushions, patio furniture, and rearranged a few things since the photos were taken. Now the place looks much more modern! The backdrop of golf course & glimpse of sea is so beautiful, we love to sit by the dining table or out on the lanai and just enjoy the view. There are 2 AC units, one on ground level, one upstairs, plenty to keep the entire place cool.
2. Daily Essentials - The host provided all the essentials, w/ lot of lotions, shampoos, dish detergent, fully equipped kitchen supplies, cooler & ice pack for us to bring out/to the beach, 1 beach umbrella, 2 beach chairs, fully stocked beach towels and bath towels.
3. Location: pool is located right across from the villa, it never gets too busy. Kapalua Bay is 10 minutes walk away, you can call a FREE shuttle from your villa. Other beaches (e.g. Nipili Bay, Honolua Bay, Fleming Beach, Oneloa Beach) are all within 5-10 min drive. Plus, quite a few good restaurants/ supermarkets around. We go to Nipili Market (3-5 min drive) almost everyday to pick up grocery, get acai bowl (highly recommend AA roots) & lunch.
Last but not least, Kim is super accommodating and informative, the communication was great. She provided a lot great information before our arrival, and also on a manual inside the villa. Make sure to check out the "Best of Maui" book on the coffee table, you will find it useful! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
