We were very excited to bring our grandkids to Maui. From the pictures, the house had everything we needed and more - lots of space, pool, hot tub and fantastic view. Sadly our first impression was not good. On opening the door the house smelled musty. This aroma did dissipate after the AC and fans were activated so it may just have been closed up for a couple of days. This was a lovely property but be aware that it is older and some things are wearing out. Some additional care could be taken with cleaning bedrooms, but all heavily used surfaces - kitchen, bathrooms, tables, wood floors, etc. were nice and clean. A little maintenance is due with appliances, outdoor furniture, and some of the beach gear could do with updating. Everything we needed was there, just a little worn. The lovely private pool was a huge hit with 9 and 10 year olds, and older folk, too. The location was perfect - Safeway, ABC store, restaurants, shopping and many beautiful beaches with decent parking were less than 10 minutes away, while being up on the hill to catch the breeze. And the outdoor shower to clean off beach sand after beach visits was a huge plus for us and for keeping the house sand free. Host was very responsive when we thought we'd run out of gas for the grill, and told us where to find the back up tank quickly. Most of all the space and view make this a great spot for a family vacation and we had a wonderful time.
