My mother and I stayed there for a week and we had a wonderful time on our vacation! The was the perfect place to get away from the super touristy resorts while still being about a 3 minute walk from a beautiful golden sand beach. In December- March it is Humpback Whale season and we cold see them swimming and breaching in the water as we walked along the beach!
As other reviews have said there is some noise from the road and the windows are slated so you are never completely sealed in. With that said, I never had trouble sleeping because the noise was fairly contestant and I loved the fresh air and open feeling.
There are a/c units in the bedrooms that worked well but the nights were cool enough that we didn’t really need them and we didn’t stay inside much during the day because there is so much to do. You can walk to Whalers Village on the Beach walkway (or most of the way on the beach itself) there are also plenty on restaurants and bars that are 5-10 mins walk in the resorts. We drove to a few other places on the island which was great because there is beautiful views everywhere along the road.
The house is very clean but doesn’t feel cold and sterile like some Airbnb’s. It has interesting art and great high ceilings. Great dishwasher and fridge with filtered water. Great showers with good water pressure. Good quality hair dryer! Lots of towels. The grounds are beautiful and There is a pool very close to the place and it was clean and well maintained.
I highly recommend Carol’s place for those who want a quiet and relaxing place as home base while they enjoy the wonderful Island of Maui!
