Ryan's place is perfectly situated and appointed. We were within walking distance of 3 beaches, and within driving distance of a few more (we actually walked to 4 beaches -- but our sense of walking distance might be different than yours). The kitchen is amply appointed with all you could need, and then some. The beach equipment for use at his place is also well stocked. We used a very small percentage of the gear available to us... A family with children will find all they need for the beach! The only thing we found was that some of the dishes and cooking utensils were not very clean. I don't know if that is due to the cleaning service or the previous guests. We brought this to Ryan's attention and he assured us that he would bring it up to his cleaning service. Overall, this was a perfect place for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would not be surprised if we found ourselves at Ryan's place the next time we are in Maui!
