It is a good thing to give honor to whom honor is due and our host, Lisa, is certainly worthy. During our stay, she was alway quick to respond though she was enjoying a vacation of her own in Europe. Much respect to you Lisa, across the time zones!!
Her interior design taste is impeccable. We had the pleasure of staying in both the Maui and Aloha cabanas; steps away from the private beach. They are both beautifully appointed from the outdoor living space furnishings to the high-end bathroom fixtures(Rain shower heads -both cabanas and Vichy showers jets in the Maui…..woweeee!) Kitchens were stocked with everything needed and beach towels, chairs and umbrellas were at the ready.
Lisa had wonderfully helpful and friendly housekeeping/repairs staff. Nanette and her crew of 2 sweet and gorgeous young ladies were a pleasure to meet as was Bob, who informed us he was responsible for mounting of the creative stairwell handrails(driftwood - Aloha; oars - Maui) Well done Bob and very aesthetically pleasing ideas Lisa!
Now must give our only 'downside' comments. First, wish the property wasn't so close to some highway noise. Secondly it became clear that with all the lush flora and fauna, other species of the rodent and insect kingdom sometimes attempt to reside with you as well. Geckos are cool, but unfortunately had a few close encounters with rodents @ the Maui(had to be careful to quickly close 1st floor sliding glass doors) along with a couple of tropical size roaches. One already deceased and another I drowned in Raid spray. Because this was our 5th trip to Hawaii; 2nd to Maui and we'd never previously dealt with insects in our living quarters, this experience was unnerving. Good news was no new roach sitings after spraying.
Our suggestion for the insect issue would be for the hosts or AirBNB to formulate a "disclaimer" type statement re: the possibility of encountering insects when residing in certain tropical locations. It would be helpful to describe what degree of possible insect habitation is reasonable and/or expected, if any.
In spite of that, the accommodations were awesome and our host could not have been more responsive.
Mahalo Lisa!
