This cottage was so amazing! We loved having so much space, especially the covered patio (which we used multiple times each day). The kitchen has high end appliances and all the cookware, spices, utensils, etc. that you’d ever need. Although there is no A/C, the place still felt amazing having all the windows and sliding doors open to let the breeze flow through. It never felt too hot on the cottage, and we all slept great feeling the ocean breeze and listening to the palm trees outside. The decor is very inviting and tasteful, and the landscaping provides lots of privacy (even with our windows open). Lisa also has the unit set up with Netflix and Amazon Prime, which provided some great entertainment at night.
The location is perfect for walking to the beach (only 1 block away), as well as the beach walk running up and down the beach. We had many evening strolls from our cottage down to have dinner at Leilani’s in Whalers Village, Duke’s on the Beach, and other great spots. Also, it is only a 5 minute drive to Lahaina. The location really couldn’t be better.
Lisa is the best, most responsive and helpful host we’ve ever had! She had lots of great recommendations, and even let us know weeks in advance of our stay that Duke’s had just started taking reservations for Thanksgiving dinner, which we ended up booking and thoroughly enjoyed. Lisa also made sure to keep us constantly updated on the changing COVID restrictions so that we’d know how to navigate our travel to Hawaii without any hang ups. Our family will definitely stay here again next time we make it out to Maui!
