Ty's place is perfection. I hesitate to write this review for fear that others will reserve this place before we have a chance to book it again for our next vacation. The apartment is exceptionally clean and perfectly appointed, and not only is Ty the most thoughtful and accessible AirBNB host with whom we have ever interacted (including, I must admit, ourselves!), but the view of Molokai from the lanai and the location of the apartment are absolutely unbeatable. We watched humahumas or giant turtles swim in the waters below as as we ate breakfast each morning and watched for shooting stars above us in the evenings over a glass of wine.
You are probably concerned about air conditioning, which is not permitted in the building. We were quite worried initially, too, especially since we were there in late July when the temperatures reached the upper 80s. BUT! The breeze from the ocean combined with the many, many fans, made us very comfortable and we slept very well every night. (Here's a tip: open the front door and the lanai doors for a few minutes to get a cross-breeze.) Granted, we were exhausted after full days of hiking Haleakala or snorkeling at incredible coral reefs at a little beach just 10 minutes away, but this convenient access to snorkeling is part of what makes Ty's place so perfect. It is also literally steps away from the best poke on Maui at the fish market across the street and delicious local coffee at Bad Ass Coffee. Shopping and restaurants at Lahaina are also a short drive away.
We cannot wait to return. Thank you so much, Ty and co.! <3
