My wife and I and another couple stayed here for 8 days. What a great place to call home for a vacation. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and a backyard and lanai large enought to entertain friends(which we did on a couple of occasions). We will be calling Leah again on a return trip to Maui. I read a poor review on this property and could'nt disagree more. This home has all the charm you would want in a vacation property. Centrally located one block off of Front street, walking distance to shops eateries, what more could you ask for? The property is for sale and apparently bothers some prospective vacationers, but should not. All the proof I needed that we picked the right place was when I heard our wives giggles of delight as they entered the home. Leah was wonderful to work with and look forward in doing so again. As for dining out, the Aloha mixed plate was my favorite in Lahaina and Wow-wee Maui near the airport. Again, 771 Luakini St. is the place to stay in Lahaina. This place oozes aloha

Hi Leah, Well, we're leaving the house at about 10:30 this morning, although we all would rather stay for another week or month. We had a great time. The house is really great. Aloha.

This property is darling, clean, well maintained inside and outside. Modern kitchen, new landscaping, very soft comfortable beds. Owner very helpful including video preview, maps of the area, things to do. Steps to Front Street through the back garden and adjacent parking area. NOISE POLLUTION in early morning @6:30am each day~adjacent property directly next to bedrooms holds several large garbage dumpsters that are noisily emptied by lifting and banging them into the garbage trucks. Same property is a public parking lot used all hours day or night. Terrific place for early risers and/or deep sleepers! Otherwise, not so great.
Owner response:We appreciate your comments and are happy that although it was a bit noisy during your stay, you still had "a wonderful week in Lahaina staying at 771 Luakini St! " Adding, "The cottage is sweet and cozy and we enjoyed it very much." It is great to be in a house located right in the heart of lively Lahaina town! This is our first comment received regarding a noise factor and we do make every effort to check in with all our guests to hear any feedback they have so as to improve their vacation experience.

Thank you for making our staying in Maui like HOME! It was a perfect place for our family of five. The location was great for walking to get dinner, shopping and entertainment. We had planned on cooking every meal but could not resist the nightly dinners out. We did cook one night and ordered pizza from Lahaina Pizza Co for our boys while we enjoyed a night out. Our boys are teenagers and we felt comfortable leaving them in the house. Waking up every morning to cooking breakfast was GREAT before heading out to the beach or an activity. Foodland was the place to shop and we only went there twice. You only need to pack light for your trip having the washer and dryer worked out great for us. For our next visit to Maui we will be booking this home again! Thanks Leah for your help in making our stay GREAT!!!! The Taylor Family Rocklin, California

We came to Hawaii to celebrate my wife's retirement, we brought my daughter, son in law and grandson who was 18 months. This house was perfect for us. The inside was so nice and renovated but the best part was the location. It was located within walking distance of the main strip which made it so nice to be able to walk to all the restaurants and shops. One day my wife and grandson stayed at the house while we went to the zip line. It was great my wife was able to get out with my grandson while we were gone and didn't need a car. Highly recommend this house, Leah was so helpful with everything. I actually left a pair of my shoes at the house the day we were leaving. Leah called me on my cell phone and drove to meet me so I could get my shoes back before we left. Excellent customer service! Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful.

Dear Leah; I was going to email you to tell you that we absolutely LOVED being in your house while in Lahaina - it is a sweet, special home - an oasis of peace and calm on a quirky little road! The house was comfortable and we all loved the furnishings. It was our pleasure to be there. It was a pleasure doing business with you as well. I wish you all the best. Jean PS I loved looking at the little pictures in the bathroom and bedroom by Kristen Bunney. I just happened to stumble on her gallery in Makaweo, and bought a small giclee of Haleakala - great memories. Be well, jas

The house has been redone with incredible style and detail. That's about all I can say nice about it though. What isn't shown in pictures is that there is a towering apartment complex on one side, with the walkway to the apartments overlooking the living room. On the other side is a parking lot with two dumpsters right up against the house and a large light shining in the bedroom window all night. Directly behind the property are Front Street businesses and their three dumpsters. We attempted to sit outside for dinner one night and were infested with flies from the numerous dumpsters surrounding the property. The properties just a few doors down on Luakini Street looked very shady - tarps covering roofs, old air conditioners and junked cars in the yards and lots of intoxicated people stumbling down the street at night. In general, there was just a lot of foot traffic on Luakini Street. At no point did we feel comfortable leaving windows open if we were going out. Not to mention there was absolutely no cross breeze, so leaving the windows open was not an option. The two window air conditioners in the bedrooms were not enough to carry the living area. Leah did bring us an additional air conditioner for the living room. We saw evidence of graffiti in one bathroom that had one coat of paint over it in an attempt to hide it. Not sure when that occurred, but didn't leave us feeling any safer leaving the windows open when we weren't there. If you can ignore the outside, the inside is quite nice.
Owner response:Still not sure if I will ever understand this guest, she asked for her money back on the afternoon of the last night of her stay. During her stay we installed an additional air conditioner in the living room at her request. The dryer which worked the day before she arrived was suddenly unrepairable, these things happen. I arranged for dryer use with our next door neighbor. This guest did say that she wanted to be in a resort, I had offered for her to move to where ever she wished & to refund her. I wonder why she stayed if she was so unhappy. There are hundreds of condos available at all times except Christmas here on Maui. Her emails were abusive, then they would apologize for it. For a person who reads and resonates with this comment, it must have been meant for them. Maui is a place of spectactular beauty in all directions and love in all of our very different looking faces, if you choose to see it that way, or I guess we could look "different" too, depending on your perspective. Our neighbors are wonderful people and look out for us and each other. For us a new carport from Costco, must look like a plastic tarp shack in certain eyes. We get so happy about shade and simplicity. A trip to Maui is what each person makes it. We have had the most wonderful guests. Some have come to my farm and been so kind friendly and fun.

We stayed in this quaint house at the end of Oct. 2010. We brought my husband's mom & friend with us. The place was magical! We fell in love with Maui, Lahaina & this house! The lanai was the perfect spot for breakfast, the plumeria tree was alive with activity every morning. Everything about it was perfect. Highly recommended! It is exactly as pictured, having our own parking was a plus & the location is perfect for strolling to find a dinner spot close by. We will definitely return as soon as possible. Thanks, Leah!!
