This apartment is hands down THE BEST place you'll stay at in Maui! My fiancé and I stayed at Ryan's place for 10 days, and if we could, we would stay another 10 days. I cannot rave enough about how great Ryan is as a host and about how fantastic his place is but I will do my best:
For starters, Ryan's attention to the minor details throughout the apartment is what sets this place apart from everything else on Airbnb. The apartment had all the amenities you would normally expect plus so much more! The apartment was IMPECCABLY clean, which is always so important to us. Even the couch, coffee table, and dining table on the balcony had been cleaned thoroughly when we arrived.
All of the amenities that Ryan has provided in the apartment is top quality- even down to the shampoo and kitchen gear. The bed is so nice, you will sleep like an angel. I had the best sleep scores during this trip! The view from the apartment is gorgeous. We slept every night with the windows open and had the soothing sounds of the beach waves lull us to sleep. The apartment had a washer and dryer provided, which meant that we only had to pack half the clothes we normally would because we were able to just wash our dirty/sandy clothes at the end of the day.
Ryan also provided barbeque gear which allowed us to use the barbeques that were provided at the hotel for the guests' use. The apartment is centrally located, within walking distance to the Fish Market and Times Supermarket. If you wish to dine from home, Ryan has thought of and provided the necessary tools for a functioning kitchen. We were able to take in the sunset as we prepared dinner on some nights- it was truly spectacular. Ryan also provided beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, and a boogie board), which also made the whole trip a more pleasurable experience.
Lastly, I want to commend Ryan for being such a great host.
Prior to our stay, Ryan checked in with us and even provided us recommendations on nearby restaurants and even an app where we were able to rent a car- when no cars were available through the car rental agencies. Halfway through our trip, Ryan checked in with us to see how our stay was going and to see if there was anything we needed. It's simple gestures like these that make Ryan such an exceptional host and his apartment a pleasure to stay at.
We look forward to staying at this place the next time that we're in Maui. Aloha and Mahalo!
