Valérie and Craig were excellent hosts and very welcoming. The cottage had everything that we needed (from toiletries to guide books to beach equipment) and was very comfortable. The lanai was a wonderful place for meals, and we really appreciated the central location on the island - everything was in reasonable driving distance. As others have noted, there is road noise that may be bothersome if you are sensitive to noise. Overall, an excellent base for our stay on Maui.
