Sandy and James' place is an ideal place for a family! The sunsets from the lanai were out of this world. We could see whales and turtles too. We cooked a lot in their kitchen, and enjoyed grilling fresh fish from the close by Fish Market on the Maui Sands grills. Used the house-supplied boogie boards and beach towels. Loved going to sleep and waking each morning to the soothing sounds of the waves. It really is spitting distance from the ocean. The gentle trade winds kept the place a pleasant temp. When an issue arose re: the TV cable being out from a storm, the hosts jumped on it right away. The lack of WiFi is the only down side, but after 2 days, our college-aged boys adjusted and stopped caring. We will definitely come back - just wish it were next week! Aloha!
