This was an amazing first trip to Maui. Things really couldn't have been any better (well maybe if we had another week to stay!).
I'll start off first with the condo and say that it was perfect in every sense of the word. I loved the personal touches and the amenities provided. It made our stay very enjoyable and it felt like home. I'm going to miss sipping my 6am coffee on the super comfy couch on the balcony before my morning paddleboard/snorkeling sessions. Everything was amazing from the huge plush bed, the beautiful art on the walls, the gorgeous view (can't beat ocean views!), the in-unit washer/dryer (extremely convenient for those longer stays. I could go on-and-on.
The location was just about the best you could imagine. Lahaina is beautiful amd charming. The Mahana is nestled along some amazing beaches and allowed us to get to our favorite spots in Maui with ease. The downtown/Front Street area probably has the best shopping in all of Maui and is only 10-15 minutes away. You also have Whalers Village which you could practically walk to. Don't miss out!
As for Louis - you can't ask for a better host because he truly epitomizes "Ohana." He has set up the check-in process to be a breeze so that you can start enjoying your stay immediately. He was a pleasure to talk to and was so helpful with suggestions on what to do and where to go. I look forward to keeping in touch with him and visiting again!
Mahalo,
