We had a wonderful time at Caitlin's home in Lahaina. It's always hard for me really envision a place beforehand and I was a little nervous booking two weeks. But, my fear was totally unnecessary. This spot was perfect for our young family of four.
The home is not very big but that was great for us because it encouraged us to have even more adventures. Also I loved that it was in a safe gated community. The beach is literally a few steps away. You can hear the ocean and can see it from some angles (although there is a row of houses right in front that are actually 100% beach front). The clubhouse is very nice and great place to watch the sun set over the ocean. We were thrilled to find they had a grand piano on which my son was able to practice for his upcoming piano recital. There are three pools. We actually didn't visit any of them. Not because they weren't nice but simply because we have pools back home and the beaches in Maui are so beautiful and plentiful.
Lahaina town is really close. Technically you can walk there but we always drove. It was a super fun town to have as our base. I really enjoyed staying in a town full of history rather than the resort towns north and south. It was the perfect slower pace for our family yet still full of amazing food, history, and activities.
The host Caitlin is very friendly and a great communicator. She gave us a ton of great suggestions for places to go and adventures to be had. We would definitely stay in one of her listings again. Thanks Caitlin!
