If you're looking to have a local experience, you'll love Dianne's place! The location was in the perfect location, central to all activities on Maui. The views of Maalaea Bay with Haleakala in the distance, just spectacular! The condo lanai was perfectly set up to enjoy a bbq dinner cooked on one of the high-end, gas bbq's overlooking the bay. Not in the mood to cook? There were a few great options steps from the condo. We'd recommend grabbing some amazing asian takeout at the Tradewinds Mart & Deli (spicy pork with rice was awesome)! We also enjoyed breakfast at the General Store, the views at Seascape, and the food at Tante's Fishmarket (fish in green curry so good)...all within walking distance! And, since we're on food, make sure to check out the local Foodland for your grocery shopping where they have a poke bar of at least 10+ different pokes. We also enjoyed the local Hawaiian Sun drinks, jams and other goodies at the store. Drives to Lahaina and Kehei were only 20 minutes, and super central to routes to Hana and Haleakala. Some of our favorite time was spent at the pool. Although small, it was perfectly intimate for a relaxing afternoon or two. There were many sun chairs out by the bay under the swaying palm trees to take in the surfers and sea turtles in the bay this time of year. We enjoyed our time immensely! Thanks to Dianne for her hospitality!!
