The property is exactly as described, and in some sense, a little under-described, so I will try to mention some of the things I really appreciated traveling with a couple of young kids.
* The location is central to Wilea (fancy restaurants and shops) and the intersection of most highways in Maui, making travel easy. Far better than the northeast shores.
* It's literally 20 steps to a quiet pool. The pool was calm the entire time and was excellent for kids.
* The beaches you can drive 5 minutes to are practically the nicest in Hawaii, with soft sands, no overbearing resort crowds, and great amenities, including food nearby. They may not be the top-rated ones, but they are excellent regardless of whether you want to be in the sand, enjoy the water nearby, or want to surf/swim.
* The combination of AC and fans is great for keeping the space cool (no noisy window ACs here!)
* The kitchen and bath are thoughtfully provisioned so you find just about anything, down to extension cords, games, and more.
* Check out the lanai closet immediately because it has anything you might need for the beach short of a full-sized surfboard and swimsuits. Also, if you forgot any toiletries, check under the sink!
* Please register your car at the front desk within 24 hours!
Bill was very responsive even though he was off the island during our arrival, and the house rules are pretty simple. Simply a fantastic stay!
