Our family of six adults loved being able to "live like locals" at Banana Plantation! The house is quaint but spacious -- the pictures really don't do it justice -- in a gorgeous neighborhood. Neighbors gave us friendly, laid-back Maui waves when we occasionally saw them. Plenty of room in the home for everyone, plus a secluded beach where you can watch both kite surfers and sand crabs at work/play. My girls even found a spot to set up hammocks just a short distance down the beach. The house is located on the north side of the island, so expect the beach to be blowy, though the house itself is fairly protected from the wind. The airport is very close by, but we got used to the airplane sounds within a couple of days. Thank you for a lovely (if rainy) week on Maui!
