In a word, OUTSTANDING! Elaine's place is spotless & comfortable. It is walking distance to the cute beach town of Lahaina, where you will find a multitude of wonderful restaurants, shops, and art galleries, as well as a lot of historical markers to check out if that is what you like when visiting a new place. Her studio looks right out on the beach and pool. Bring binoculars! Additionally, the beautiful beaches of Kaanapali, Napili Bay, and Kapalua Bay are a short drive north and all wonderful spots for snorkeling, swimming, etc. My husband and I really enjoyed exploring and enjoying other beaches, and then returning to Lahaina Shores to relax in a much quieter setting. We will be back! Thank you Elaine! Everything was perfect.
