Just returned from a 3 week vacation in Maui. We stayed in Kihei, Hana, Maalaea and Kaanapali. Because of the length of stay and holiday season we couldn't get accomodated in one place. On hind site, this let us experience and enjoy different parts of Maui.
Stayed in the 2b/2b home, hosted by George from Dec 22- Dec 25.
5 stars for home location and communication with George. 3 stars for the home itself.
The second floor bedroom gets super hot and there is no AC upstairs. The small AC in the main area does help with the cooling upstairs. There is a cooler for the upstairs bedroom and when that didn't work for us, we were promptly and respectfully told that the cooler weather in Dec should keep the house cool. No effort was taken to fix the cooler. We ended up using the pull out couch for my teen boys, which was not comfortable. (We booked because of the 2nd bedroom and additional beds for my teens).
Another issue that the house has is a roach / pest problem. Lots of roaches, sugar ants running around. Under the sink, in the pantry and inside the cupboards etc. I brought it to George's attention and was requested to spray inside the pantry that I hesitated because of the food.
We stayed 3 nights here but was glad that we moved to Maalaea area for all water activities, turtle beach, comfort and peace and liked Maalaea which is equally convenient.
On the positive side, George sends lots of info and is prompt when communicating. Thank You!!! Location in good. Critical feedback, home needs maintenance. Also doesn't not have any views and was the farthest to the beach amongst the other places we stayed.
Overall, good home when issues are fixed (upstairs room, cooler, pest and roaches etc) but we will not be returning. Thank you for hosting us and sharing your home with us.
