First and foremost, Maurie is an excellent host. He is very responsive and accommodating without being overbearing. The place was as described with a good view of the mountains. The shower head has great pressure to allow you to get off all the sand! He has all the kitchen supplies needed to make a quick and easy breakfast to save some money. We did this every morning and ate out on the lanai. Our stay was very comfortable. The location is very close to the beach, right by a grocery store, close to restaurants and night life. We rented a motorcycle for the week for transportation, which we were able to park for free in the underground parking lot at the hotel vs $25 a day for a car. This was a great way to explore more of the island, such as the North Shore (which we highly recommend doing). Maurie also provides a book of recommendations for activities and restaurants nearby which we utilized. He also provided snorkel gear, boogie boards, a cooler, beach towels, which was very nice as it can get pricey to rent all of those things. We feel he goes above and beyond for his guests.
