Thank you for a wonderful stay at House of the Sun in Maui! This was my fist time to the island and definitely not my last. Location is central to the island and there were wonderful shops and restaurants within a few minutes. The beach is a five minute walk away and perfect to catch the sun setting over the ocean - do this at least once!
Communication with Emily was easy and she was quick to respond. Check in was smooth as instructions were provided a few days prior to arrival. It was very nice not having to worry about carrying a physical house key with us on our adventures.
Beach items were available such as towels, chairs, etc and there's a Snorkel Bob's that we rented additional gear for a reasonable price. We didn't use the pool area other than to wash off sand.
PRO TIP: Emily had wonderful recommendations in the guidebook, but the real gem is the guest book. I thumbed through it upon arrival, but didn't actually read anything until I made an entry on my last day. It's loaded with recommendations from other travelers for restaurants and tips on activities.
