this place is amazing! our family stayed for over two months (two adults and one five year old), to see if we would move from New York City to maui. we rented without knowing anything about maui, other than that the pictures looked amazing.yuriko responded to any and all questions immediately and the place was spotless with every amenity imaginable (yes, better than the Four Seasons hotel we stayed in on maui). Here is what we loved:the high ceilings with tons of natural light, the fact that direct sun never went into the rooms so they didn't overheat, a view of trees instead of the pool which meant privacy and tranquility, an immediate med center (my mother-in-law and son both needed a quick doctor at some point) a two minute walk away, the post office, UPS and a grocery store as well as nail salon, drug store and many restaurants less than a five minute walk away, the beach across the street. the main street (south kihei road) is one over from the street of the unit. that means you get proximity to everything, however the development is on the quiet street (closer to the beach and much more private). you get the best of literally every amenity i had in New York City (except crowds and subways), with a beach and a view of the mountains from the balcony (YES, you can see the glorious mountains each morning while sitting on the balcony).this stay literally made my husband decide to move to maui for a year (or maybe forever). we are currently staying at a different rental and he keeps saying how much he misses pray for surf loft. i promise whatever your needs are, they will be fulfilled. our family got to call pray for surf loft home for a summer, and it allowed us to relax and grow to our next step in life. that's how great the stay was. oh, and it has a real record player with amazing records. JUST BOOK THIS PLACE and then smile every second you are there. because it is wonderful.
