Very true to the photos . In fact the deck is sweeter than the photos due to a massive tropical tree next door often full of birds at sunrise and sunset and offering gentle shade. WE LOVED breaking our travel quarantine by staying in Jeff's place. The location was great for enjoying Napili & Kapalua areas and Lahaina is only 15 mins down the road, which we liked. We wouldn't have wanted to stay in the thick of everything. The house is super roomy, the layout great. It truly felt like an (immaculately clean) friend's home we borrowed. Useage of the beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, fins, boogie boards made this a primo experience and one we highly recommend. We have traveled around the world on sabbatical and Jeff's place is top notch. Stay if you can!
