The Aloha Cottage was beautiful! The decor was so pretty and the cottage itself was bright, airy, and very homey! It was a little tight for 6 people, but we spent almost all the time outside enjoying all things Maui.
The cottage has everything you could need for a very comfortable vacation. There are several pools in the neighborhood and the ocean is a short walk from the cottage. The beach is not a sitting beach, but you can walk the beach if you get there at low tide. Tons of surfers and paddle boarders to watch. We took the boogie boards to the water and the kids had hours of fun. The sunsets are beautiful and can be viewed from the lawn.
There is some traffic noise throughout the day because you are very near the Honoapiilani Hwy. But the view of the West Maui Mountains makes up for the sound. The lanai is super comfortable and morning coffee, breakfast, occasional lunch and evening cocktails were enjoyed there.
Ryan was fantastic with communication; very punctual, professional, and accommodating. We had a late departure time and we were allowed a later "check-out" time.
You won't regret renting the Aloha Cottage!
