We were lucky to find this cottage for our first trip to Maui, it was like our home away from home. It was the perfect place for our family of 5 to enjoy and explore paradise. Close to everything but away from the box resorts crowds. It had everything we needed to prepare/enjoy meals together as a family. Lots of beach gear also super close to Lahaina and Whalers Village for dinner. All in all we were more than impressed with this home. Very responsive owners, friendly neighbors, clean , spacious, quiet, amenities and proximity to a our Top snorkel Beach was walkable. Pools where almost private and just like the other reviews we to spent almost all of time , relaxing, playing cards, drinking coffee and having evening wine on the large Patio! We did add the $18 extra for A/C however hardly ever used it, We opened all the windows and really enjoy the cool breezes. If you trying to figure out where to stay on the westside of Maui and want something private, safe, and has that personal Hawaiian feel then book this place. Betsy even blocked some time on the calendar for next year making this our home away from home. Counting down the Days Betsy & Nic. Aloha
