Exactly as described! Better communication than with any other airbnb hosts we've stayed. While away from the centers of gravity on the island, we truly appreciated the lack of crowds and the laid-back neighbors in the complex.
The only disappointment was the lack of ocean access from the property itself, but some crafty scrambling through the property to the East gave us access to the very nice and quiet "Coast Guard Beach" in Haycraft Park beyond. My recommendation is to use the rental car you clearly need and visit Kaulahao Beach to the East of Paia or Palauea Beach to the South of Kihei.
