This property is a prime location! Amazing view, clean, and convenient. Although the main towns and shopping areas were about 15 to 20 minute drive out, it was a pleasurable drive. If you want minimal driving time I suggest buying all the groceries and necessities in bulk. Locals visit this location to fish and barbecue which was nice because we got to learn about the local fishing and popular spots around the island. Even spotted some sea turltes!
As for the hosts. Josh and Rebecca were very nice to provide us with a play pak for the infant in our party. They were both very responsive and helpful with our questions. All the information provided for the property via website and emails were organized and helpful with tips and suggestions for popular spots(food,shopping, etc.) and attractions around Maui.
**The only downsides were...
1) the key code to get into the unit did not work when we arrived and we had to have someone open the unit for us
2) our party accidently arrived early. Make sure try to make arrangements with host or finds other things to do otherwise you will be waiting.
Very family and kid friendly and all of the neighbors and tenants were very nice. As far as value it is a bit on the pricier side but you get what you pay for and Maui is not known to be inexpensive. Overall great experience, I would highly recommend.
