When the gate to the house opened, we let out of collective gasp. It was already so beautiful and we hadn't even seen the cottage yet! Valerie and Craig greeted us and made us feel right at home, like we were with old friends. The cottage itself has everything you need, including a washer and dryer which we made ample use of. The view from the balcony is splendid looking over to the mountains and the sea. Morning coffees on their plush lawn looking at the sea life and surfers and evenings on the outside porch listening to the ocean were the highlights of our vacation. It is truly the perfect place to base yourself in Maui, with the perfect couple as your hosts.
