Reading this review? Great! Here it is: BOOK KATHRYN'S PLACE NOW, quick, before anyone else does!!
...still reading this review? Oh-kayyy, I guess I gotta prove myself:
The location is perfect. Each morning we walked 5 minutes to the local bakery, and then walked another 5 minutes to the beach. If we wanted to head out to another beach, it took a literal minute to get onto the highway. At sunset, we'd walk 5 minutes in the other direction for some shave ice, and then across the street for one of the best sunset views in Maui (seriously, the sun touches the water VS setting behind a volcano/mountain, as in other spots on the island).
The space is perfect. Kathyrn's closet was packed full of snorkel gear, beach chairs, beach towels, and a beach umbrella - which saved our pasty-ness from turning into lobster-ness. Having a washer/dryer inside the unit was key, and I'm still trying to figure out what shower head is in her bathroom because I. want. it. for our place. We actually cook more than we eat out, so the fully stocked kitchen and crockpot was much appreciated.
The communication is perfect. Kathryn messaged me back within minutes, made check-in as clear as day, and was extremely accommodating when we needed to leave Maui a day early. I'm pretty sure that's also her pretty artwork hanging on the walls...
