Jay's place was just magical from the moment I arrived to the moment I sadly had to leave! The view from the balcony is breath-taking, with the beautiful blue ocean stretching out to a view of two of the other islands in the distance. The sun sets right in front of you between the two islands, and huge sea turtles come and swim around in the rocks below the balcony. I also strongly recommend that on a clear night you turn off all the lights and stand out on the balcony to see the stars - stunning!
Jay's place is adorably furnished throughout and has everything you need. It felt like my little home away from home and was perfect for a solo traveler like me and would also be so romantic for a couple. I loved the seclusion of being away from the big resorts, and the bus route runs right through to take you to Ka'anapali and Lahaina (though only once an hour) so it was ok to be a little further from the beach. There were some great local restaurants, including the Maui Brew House only 5 mins walk away, which has great local beers.
To top it off, Jay was such a kind and conscientious host - he sent me loads of helpful info before my stay, answered messages in record time and was really accommodating.
All in all I wish I hadn't left and hope I can make it back again some day!
