Even though we had high expectations when booking our stay in Maui, our stay at this listing exceeded these expectations in every possible way. Kaon’s welcoming attitude, lively conversation, and thoughtful recommendations really made it extraordinary. He walked with us and showed us the area around Kihei, including spots off the beaten path and he fed my sea turtle obsession with great hidden turtle observation points, some that are literally less than 5 minutes walking away. Just down the road are areas where you can experience majestic dolphins in their natural habitat. We couldn’t believe how much awesome wildlife we saw without having to pay a single penny for a tour (and actually, previously we had been to Maui for three days and only took boat tours and we saw WAY less). He also had so many great recommendations along the road to Hana — he really knows the island inside and out. All the fantastic sights we experienced is all thanks to Kaon’s amazing recommendations! The place itself is very comfortable and we felt at home; you get the top floor to yourself and share the downstairs kitchen and everything is clean and tidy with plenty of space. There’s lots of equipment you can borrow, including boogie boards, snorkelling masks and fins, and even a stand up paddle board which we made the most of! I couldn’t recommend staying with Kaon enough, and we already know we want to visit again!
