My vacations in Maui are always tough to put into words. I want to start off by saying MAHALO, to our host Elaine and her family. My husband and I are extremely fortunate in the amount of travel we get to partake in. We have stayed in beautiful resorts, fancy hotels and had some incredible experiences. The pictures and description for Elaine's cottage/house don't do it justice. For 7 nights, it truly felt like our home. We cooked, we drank and we relaxed by the pool. We chatted, we watched movies, and ate some more food. We spent hours on the beach, watched sunsets and sunrises, and then went back to our Island home. We had chairs, body boards, coolers and snorkel equipment all provided by Elaine and her family at no additional cost. If you have a trip planned to Maui, and don't want a typical hotel/condo experience, then make this place your home. I have been back on the mainland for less than a week, and we're already planning our next visit. Until then Aloha, and again, Mahalo!

P.S. Coconut's Fish Cafe off S. Kihei Rd has the best fish tacos I have ever tasted in my life. Thank you again Elaine for the recommendation.
