I had been waffling for days on where to stay leading up to this trip, obsessing the need to find something immediately ocean side (most out of our price range). My wife finally took over and basically said “Here - this place looks perfect. Just book it.” I was a little skeptical since it was on the other side of the main road from the beach. But once we arrived and checked in, and had a chance to walk around a bit, I was sold. The unit is really beautiful (updated with quality materials and finishes), super clean, comfortable and incredibly well-equipped. I can’t stress that last point enough - you could roll up here with a bathing suit and a bag of fresh groceries and be good to go for a week.
The location is great, with quick access (like a three minute walk) to Charley Young Park and Kam 1 beach. Saw tons of sea turtles while snorkeling with the kids there (best done in the morning before the surf picks up).
We loved absolutely everything about our stay there, and were completely spoiled by the amount of beach gear to borrow, as well as the little things like olive oil or ziplock bags or reef-safe sunscreen. Crazy how dialed it was compared to the other places we stayed on the trip.
The hosts were also incredibly communicative from start to finish and beyond. They found a left-behind item of ours and made multiple efforts to meet up and return the item.
My only one recommendation as a guest here would be to keep the bedroom door open at all times to allow the cooler air from the a/c in the living room to work it’s way back there.
Otherwise this place is an ideal base for a Maui vacation, a great value with all the comforts and conveniences of home. We will definitely be coming back next time we land on Maui.
