This was the first trip to Maui for my wife and I. I feel very fortunate to have found this place to stay. It is much better than a normal hotel room. The location is perfect for staying in Kehei. We walked to the beach and breakfast every day. It was 2-3 minutes from the door to the beach!
There were lots of really nice little things the host did. There was a hand written note welcoming us. The fridge had cold bottled water and chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and the freezer already had ice cubes made. There was a great binder with information on lots of the attractions. The note at the beginning of the binder walked us through how to use the pool, where to park and a few local tidbits that were helpful.
The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. There were lots of towels, which is great when you go to the beach a few times per day. The kitchen area is really small, but had cups, glasses, bowls, silverware, etc. There were two fans, plus a ceiling fan in addition to the A/C. It was hot the week we were there, so the A/C was a little lacking. The host is having it serviced and it shouldn't be an issue going forward.
All in all, this is a lovely place to stay with great access to the beach and the local shops all within walking distance. We hope to be back in the future!
