First, this place is really roomy and airy. Great light. It’s Maui so it’s nice to let all that in. Owner is super responsive, thoughtful, and reasonable. On-island manager is great, if you even need him. Layout was a nice blend of open space and privacy. The lanai is huge and we ate every meal out there with 6 folks. The remote control blinds aren’t a big deal until you’re trying to get the sun out of grandma’s eyes, and then they’re amazing. Lots of fans to make Hawaii nights feel cool for sleeping. Kitchen has all basic needs for good meals. Pool and hot tub awesome. Common area grills decent, and surprisingly uncrowded. Maui and fish guides on hand were great, and we left another publisher guide there. Living room futons are easy and quite comfy for teens and kids. Coolers, water bottles, chairs, beach towels etc were great additions we used daily. Walk to beach is not nothing, but not far either. Shops next door are sooo handy. Gym, pizza, Chinese, snorkel, bakery, general store, and those were just the ones we used. Rent gear from snorkel store with online access or coupons ; great gear. Parking very close and easy, if not free.
Nicki, the owner makes it all easy. I’d happily return to this location with kids and grandparents in tow.
