I can not say enough about staying at Richard's... The location is waterfront so you can enjoy drinking your morning coffee listening to the sound of the waves. We were actually able to view turtles and whales right from the lanai! The condo unit is small so we avoided all the big crowds. Lahaina has a beautiful historic district that is walking distance with great restaurants, shopping, and a baby beach. It is also a very short driving distance to all kinds of other activities on the island.
Richard has everything you need there including beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and snorkeling gear. He is the best host you could ask for. Before arriving, he went to the trouble of sending me an entire suggested itinerary for my stay with choice restaurants! This was so thoughtful as this was our first trip to Maui. He even made reservations for us at the world famous Mama's Fish house which you do not want to miss during your stay! From sunset sail to snorkeling Molokini to whale watching and much more, we found his local insight to be without parallel!
