Mike's place is a bit far removed from the tourist attractions on Maui -- i.e, it is not near the beach -- as long as you have a car everything is really within reach. Also. Because it's so quiet there you're away from those gross high rise condos and hotels that are cluttered with tourists. The loudest thing that we heard at this Airbnb were the birdies and frogs singing at night, which only took us about a day to get used to. Also the chickens running around was kind of neat. One ate right from my hand. Maybe that's not such a good thing, but I thought it was cool.
There's a local coffee shop just down the street, called Waikulu Coffee, which is where the locals seem to go. also there's a market right across the street that has good hours and has just about everything you need, including postcards. Also there's a post office right there so you can mail stuff. All within very easy walking distance. Right next to the market is a cue for all of the local Attractions, tours etc. And right there while you're waiting is a bunch of food carts with various kinds of food. Really everything that you need is here.
Recommend.
