This was the perfect spot for us to venture out from each day and return to a peaceful dinner on the back porch overlooking the grassy courtyard and waving to friendly guests. The window AC in the master bedroom was more than adequate to stay comfortable at night, and the adjustable fans in the kitchen and living room kept the entire space nicely regulated. The washer and dryer are stacked and small, but if you plan for a small wash every few days, it was quick cycle and quick dry. The unit has everything we needed and more things we found throughout the week. We appreciated access to beach chairs, floats, tennis rackets, beach towels, and more kitchen tools than we could use in a week's time. Several grocery options were nearby, as well as a variety of restaurants.
Our goal was to experience the island, so we set out each morning and did just that. We drove to the Napili Bay area and experienced the beaches and hikes in that area. We spent a day exploring the Lahaina area and beaches. We drove to the North entrance of the Haleakala National Park and then drove the back way to the South entrance of the park and into Hana, allowing us to drive the Road to Hana in reverse. Great suggestion from bloggers! We drove down to Ahihi Bay and spent a lot of time at Makena State Park. We share these day trips to highlight the ease of day trips from this property. It is just an ideal location, and I haven't even mentioned the amazing beaches across the street and within walking distance.
If your vacation plans are to experience the full island of Maui, this is a great option. If you want to play golf each morning and just sit on a patio staring into the ocean, you might choose a different condo; however, you can do both of those things within minutes from this property. The best surprise was the morning we went snorkeling at Molokini Crater and needed to meet the crew at the boat ramp .... which ended up being a five minute walk from our place! Just ideal in so many ways for us.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Maui home with us!
