The house is a residential neighborhood right by the ocean. There is nothing to do around the house, but it is in a convenient location for driving tours to all interest points around the island and close to the airport. There is no beach by the house - the sea is rough and water is not easily to access. Keep in mind all beaches are public in Maui, so there might be people fishing right in your back yard.
The house needs maintenance and is not very comfortable for a leisurely vacation (upstairs and downstairs are completely separate, backyard faces abandoned buildings to one side and public park to the other) but is perfectly fine if your large family will be out of the house for an entire day and you just need a place to sleep.
It was nice to have some beach gear at the house (sand toys, chairs, body boards, snorkel gear etc ), but make sure the snorting gear is complete and try out the masks before heading out to the beach as not all is complete/functional.
The kitchen is sufficiently equipped with all the necessities and the internet is fast. The hosts provides a tiny tube of body wash per bathroom so be ready to either bring your own toiletries or buy some right after you arrive. Don’t get surprised, like we did.
All and all, we liked our stay and the house worked well for our group. The management company is very responsive if there are any issues and the check in is easy, regardless of when you arrive.
Hearing the ocean at night was amazing!
