You’ve already heard about falling asleep to the rolling waves, and the fine touches of the surfboard bar, but here are the PRO TIPS to staying at Tracy’s:
1) When using the BBQ, open the gas cylinder slowly. Do a turn or two, wait, repeat, wait and repeat again. THEN light the actual grill.
2) Even if you’re sitting on the lanai enjoying your steak overlooking the ocean and just steps away from the grill, don’t be surprised if one of the feral cats grabs your other cooked steak off the plate still by the grill. These cats are cute, but crafty as hell.
3) Rent your surf or other boards from Maui Wave Riders. They have shops in Lahaina and Kihei and have a great selection.
4) Screw the AC. It’s really loud (but totally works, u just don’t need it). Tracy has a little fan you can plug in, so close the sliding doors, turn on the over head fan and enjoy the waves.
5) Rent a car. Maui is all about getting around the island to different spots. I recommend Cruisin Maui - they’re awesome.
6) Take a long walk down the beach right out front. It’s the longest uninterrupted beach on the island. And it’s perfect for sunset strolls (perhaps with an adult beverage).
7) Ohana Fish Co in Kihei has live music like every night. Also their fish tacos are absurd.
8) Enjoy!
