Wow! Tom's place was gorgeous. Each room had its own bathroom and patio with chairs. The large glass windows and doors from the living space made for a gorgeous view of the ocean and golf course. Much larger space than I expected. Plenty of seating and dinning areas for a group of 6, very comfortable.
Tom had beach towels, folding chairs with backpack straps for easy carrying, large amount of sand toys, boogie boards, snorkles, ice chest, reusable grocery bags, skim board, and now a few blow up floaties that we added to his goody closet. Soooo nice!!
He had all the household essentials from washer, dryer, laundry baskets, to coffee pot, and kiddy cup for your littles. It felt like home.
The walk down to whalers village I don't think it even took 5mins and from there a short couple minute stroll past the shops to the beach. It was perfect.
Tom had a book with some local great places but we have been to Maui many times so we already had some plans.
We took my 3 year old to the tidepool beach called Launiupoko Beach Park, we ate at the Gazebo for breakfast (gorgeous view and amazing food always a 30-40min wait), we get snorkel rentals from boss frogs, then we take our snorkel gear to the next condo cove over to snorkel with large sea turtles ( cove is called Honokeana Bay), in Lahina we like cool cars and cheese burgers in paradise, as well as the shaved ice( it's so fine), and we always take pictures at the bird stand, and this time we did the horse back rides at the Mendes Ranch gorgeous views!!
I would love to stay at Tom's place again, we have been discussing a trip with my parents and brother!
