We were welcomed with a view that is better than the photos along with a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts. We were please to find a couch and a comfy chair in the living room (I did not notice a photo of living room furniture when I booked.) The loft is comfortable and spacious; the fan provides plenty of fresh air. A lovely breeze flows through the unit, especially with the front door open. Everyone in our group of 4 slept well and found the beds comfortable. We started most days with a stroll across the street to the beach (provided beach chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys and ice chest was appreciated). While snorkeling, we saw turtles and many fish swimming around the nearby rocks & coral. A shady tree on the beach provided a great place to sit & read. After the beach, we would rinse the sand off at the pool shower and the take a dip in the best jacuzzi ever. It had bubbles & jets and usually was 104 degrees-- delightful. When we got too hot, we'd cool off in the pool. We cooked most meals and found the kitchen well stocked and were pleased to find an electric tea kettle. Location is great it is about a 5 minute walk to McDonald's--our 6.5 year old was happy about that. Coin laundry down the road. The condo had plenty of parking and is solidly built; we never heard neighbors through the walls. The gas BBQ near the pool were great for cooking dinner most nights.
Near the elevator we found a rolling luggage cart like the ones hotels have. This was great for unloading the car. We stopped at Costco on our way here, so we had all our luggage plus food for our stay. For happy hour/ dinner try the Sea House (about 10 minute drive down the road). It has an amazing ocean view & an early bird special. We enjoyed the Atlantis submarine trip as well as a drive to the botanical gardens in Kula. Be sure to check out Dragon's teeth and the tide pools by the Ritz Carlton golf course, a short drive away. Our son took surf lessons at Goofy Foot surf school in Lahaina and stood up almost immediately. So much to do-- we'll have to return to this lovely slice of paradise. Thank you Chris for making your lovely home available.
