We were in heaven! We arrived to the sound of surf and cool breezes blowing through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There, on the kitchen table, was a wildly generous gift basket of fresh fruits, chocolates, cookies, jam, and coffee. The kitchen itself was perfectly equipped, including coffee, tea, and spices.
The house ... I can hardly describe how wonderful the house is -- the big decks, the upstairs bedroom with its Jacuzzi tub and surf-and-sunset views, the comfy living room, the privacy-protecting landscaping, and the well-kept lawn that stretches all the way to the sand dunes of Kihei's sweet little beach. It also came equipped with everything we needed. Beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and more.
We truly felt more like guests than like vacation renters. Thank you, Marti, for your gracious house and your gracious self.
I would just offer one small caveat; If you have mobility problems just know that this house has a LOT of stairs. Its three+ levels are part of its charm, but we got as much exercise walking around inside as we did from walking on the beach.
