The home was clean, cozy and I got great rest here while traveling the island. A/C works great, and the host does a great job providing so many small touches to make the space feel homey. Location is also amazing, being so close to so many food locations and right across from the beach!

Great room, great location. It is small but just as described. Park across the street makes a great breakfast/coffee start to the day. The park has lots of action and nice trails to walk. If all you need is a place to sleep, this works great. I’d go back!

Clean room, air conditioner worked, bed was comfortable which was a nice surprise. Dive shop was just behind it (where I spent most of the trip). Location was right near the beach, and the food garden. Overall area and stay were just what I needed. The owner was great, messaged me with lots of information, and made sure I had everything I needed once I arrived. Would definitely stay again. (I stayed for 3 weeks)

The host Ligia is very responsive and offers lots of help!The location can't be beat. Walkable to lots of food trucks, restaurants, Foodland and many beaches! South Maui Gardens is right next door and it's such a chill place with live music, shows, events. We learned to surf at the beach right across from the studio!
