We're pretty seasoned Airbnb travelers, so when I say that the stay of Hue's place is one of our best Airbnb stays of all time, it means a great deal. The house is comfortable and equipped with every thoughtful detail. The outdoor areas are beautiful. The place has touches of luxury but never loses the feel of laid back"aloha." The result is a a feeling of being in your home away from home. Our family of 4 was more than comfortable here. It was wonderful being steps away from busy and charming Lahaina but tucked away on a quiet, residential street. The only bad thing about this home was leaving it. I literally shed a few years when we had to leave our comfortable Hawaii nest in gorgeous, relaxing Maui.
This is a lesser point, but I've noticed, at least in the US, Airbnb owners leaving a compulsory laundry list of chores for you to do before you leave. We always tidy up before we go and try to leave things as we find them anyway, but having to do cleaning chores on top of paying what is usually a significant cleaning fee can't feel frustrating. All this to say that Hue's only instruction to us was to please turn off the lights and air conditioning, and that they'd take care of the rest. It gave us space to feel generous by trying to leave the place as we found it. It's a small but important distinction for us.
This property and this owner embody the spirit of "aloha." We spent some of our best days a family here.
