Surfers Hale was just as pictured. It was easy to check in and out with the hosts good communication and clear directions. The location is great for conveniences and eating, with Miso Phat sushi, Maui Brewing Co., McDonalds, a mailbox, convenience store, etc all within walking distance. You can’t see or hear the ocean and there is traffic noise, but nothing unbearable. The patio is small and narrow but we enjoyed the fresh air, large trees and birds singing while enjoying a few drinks from it. We had all the dishes, utensils and pans we needed for cooking. And there were even some spices we used. We had to get a few more toiletries to hold us over for the week but all in all we had what we needed. We took advantage of the beach towels and washer and dryer too. We really appreciated how clean everything was and our hosts kindness. So here are the negatives: all the furniture is uncomfortable, the AC is very loud and there is nowhere to unpack your luggage or toiletries.
