Kaimana's place is THE place to be in Maui. Walking distance to downtown Lahaina (great restaurants, galleries) and Baby Beach is literally RIGHT BEHIND her house. Surprisingly, there is a very large Buddhist temple behind the house and a very large gong, which you just have to try out!

Kaimana herself is very kind and approachable - she's lived on Maui for 30 years so has a lot of good insider info. There are a lot of animals onsite (tortoises, 2 dogs, some inside cats, chickens, pigeons), which is cool if you like animals, maybe not so much if you don't. I happen to love them and thought it was pretty cool - especially the tortoises, which are enormous!

Overall property was quiet and relaxing, room and living space was clean, the shower was AMAZING!

Her staff was also very friendly, helpful, and fun to be around. I stayed there with a friend for 3 nights. We would always come back after a day of exploring to chit chat with Kaimana, Pete (surfer/cockatoo-trainer extraordinaire), and Adam (zoologist/expert genealogist for McDonald's cartoon characters).

I'd go back in a minute!
