Our stay was peaceful and relaxing at Nina & Anders's home—I highly recommend choosing their place if you want to avoid a large, crowded resort. It was an easy 1-hour drive from both Kihei and Haiku, which made it very convenient to get around to snorkel, and take a tour of the Haleakala crater. The best part of their condo was the access to the private beach where we saw so many turtles, and even an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal that was basking on the sand. Everyone at the resort was very friendly and respectful. There was a minor hiccup with the motorized curtains in the living room (they didn't offer much privacy) but that didn't detract from the overall experience, which was spectacular.
