We just wrapped up our second stay at James' place and we loved it as much this time as our first visit. The condo is a perfect place to unwind and de-stress. It's away from the crowds you'll find in the resort areas so it's quiet -- open the slider and all you hear are waves crashing, the wind, and maybe some birds. Sit on the lanai and watch sunrise over Haleakala, sea turtles in the rocky outcrop from the beach, and hints of sunset to the west. The bed is comfortable, the shower has great water pressure, and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. James has stocked the condo with pretty much everything you need for a trip to the beach, including Tommy Bahama Beach chairs and umbrella, towels, a beach blanket, and coolers. There is a gorgeous beach at the end of the street that is not crowded. While you do have to drive to get to shops and restaurants outside of the ones at Ma'alea Harbor, you can get most places on the island in 30 minutes or less, which is really convenient for exploring all Maui has to offer. We will definitely be back!!
