Tom and Denise have created a fantastic space. I was immediately impressed by the attention to detail and overall interior that was meticulously assembled. You will feel welcomed, from driving into the driveway to entering your space through the private backyard, fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. There were beach chairs, an umbrella, even a selection of snorkeling gear, and an aloe gel to save you from that sunburn, just to name a few). The kitchenette was fully equipped and included bagels, Hawaiian coffee, and fruit. The best part was the private backyard backyard and shared porch in front of the house with expansive views of the pacific and gorgeous Hawaiian greenery and blossoms. I loved eating my breakfast outdoors and sipping on kombucha while gazing through the stars at night. The drive to the beaches was anywhere from 5-12 mins depending on the beach. I was lucky enough to explore the island by driving, and I can certainly tell that this location is central and is convenient to get anywhere on the island whether you are looking to explore the west side and jump off a Black Rock at Kaanapali beach, explore an authentic country in mid-Maui by visiting Hallekeakala or the town of Kula or get on the road to Hana adventure with the most scenic drive through all of the exquisite sites and see the crown jewel - a majestic Waimoku Falls at the end of Pipiwai trail.
I would highly recommend Tom's & Denise's place - you will fall in love with it without a doubt, and you will fall in love with Maui as you get to explore the island!
