Laurie's place is cozy, updated and convenient. The bed was very comfy and the mini fridge was nice for leftovers, lunches and snacks. Laurie was very friendly and helped us with suggestions for some things we wanted to do and general Maui knowledge. The house is very clean with a convenient private entrance and Laurie graciously provided beach towels and some spare reef-friendly sunscreen. The house is a short, 4 min walk to Airport Beach which is beautiful and not very crowded making it perfect for morning and night walks along the beach or adjacent cart path. It is also a very short drive to Lahaina to the south and the Kapalua Bay area to the north where you can get touristy experiences or hit the local haunts. This made it very easy to get out and explore without much effort and return quickly to freshen up or relax between adventures. We highly recommend using Laurie and her place as your easy Maui gateway.
