We had a fabulous time in this little cottage, we were within walking distance of the beach ( 5-10 min with two small children). The house was spotless and had linens and all the spices to cook from home. Carol was available at the beginning of our stay and on phone or email for the rest which was exactly what we wanted. The little cottages are ideal if you do not want to be in the condo/hotel area but still have access to it and have two pools for the complex. A lovely time, we will be back!
Jun 27, 2019Carol was on top of it! If I had a question she answered almost immediately. If I had a concern or problem she handled with the utmost professionalism. We were very impressed with her service. The house was clean and comfortable. I loved how close it was to all of our favorite spots. Great place for our family.
Jun 27, 2019# 42 at Kaanapali, 3 bdrm ICC Cottage was perfect for our 3 adults and 3 teenagers. Plenty of room for all of us. It was a good location, quiet, clean, comfortable, and Carol was most hospitable. There were many homey touches that we appreciated - fully equipped kitchen & bathrooms, night lights, beach mats & towels etc - even beach umbrellas, which it turned out we needed. Having a washer & dryer, A/C and ceiling fans were great. I was happy there weren't any staircases as are typical in condos. We could not have been happier with everything.
Jun 27, 2019I had a phenomenal time at Carol's Maui apartment. There were 6 of us and the place was perfect. Really spacious, great location being a 2 minute walk from the beach. Basically on a Golf course too! Big living and dining area in a really nice quite neighborhood. This place was exactly what I was looking for. There was a hot tub too! I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Jun 27, 2019Carol is great! Place is awesome! We came earlier and Carol let us drop our stuff and let us check in 2 hours earlier. Would definitely stay there again!!
Jun 27, 2019The place was wonderful. Everything you needed was provided very clean. Thankyou carol would recommend

Jun 27, 2019We had a great week in cottage #42. It was quiet, clean and well-appointed, allowing a family of six a wonderful vacation. We enjoyed the kitchen and spacious living space. It was so nice to have a washer/dryer and beach chairs available too. The home has a nice outdoor area and is an easy walk to the beach, which we visited every day. We will never stay in a hotel again when visiting Maui. Carol was a great host and responded quickly when we had questions.
Jun 27, 2019When we arrived, the radio was playing Hawaiian music- helped get us ready for the island. Good location - four cottages from the pool, easy in/out to the major road, close to local beaches. We were able to use the beach chairs when we went to the beach and some mats. That was so much nicer than just sitting in the sand. The washer/dryer were great features. Cottage was exactly as the photos that appeared on Airbnb.
Jun 27, 2019Staying at Carol's condo made our trip! It was right in the middle of the best attractions and walking distance from one if the best beaches on Maui. The house comfortably fit 8 of us and had everything you need to have an enjoyable vacation. Carol was easily reachable and flexible with our reservation. I highly recommend this stay. Mahalo!
Jun 27, 2019Everything was excellent! We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage especially that we could walk to the beach.
Jun 27, 2019The place was lovely and clean. I would describe it as tired. There were a few things not working (missing). Lights and wine glasses. The location was great as we could walk to the beach and even walked to dinner one night. The pool was very nice and practically empty. Carol was fairly responsive. I would recommend this place but may be overpriced based on age.
Jun 27, 2019Location was absolutely perfect for a family vacation. It is an easy walk to the beautiful Kaanapali beach and the shops are close by for groceries. The golfers in our group were also impressed by the wonderful golf courses in the area. As first time users of airbnb we were thoroughly impressed with our accommodation. The description given matches the place exactly. Carol's advice to hire a car was wonderful as it gave us the opportunity to explore Maui. Carol was really friendly - she gave us a couple of fantastic recommendations for dinner and also several places to explore close by. We were also impressed by how quickly Carol responded to a request for a kettle and extra wine glasses - we certainly did not expect her to arrive so quickly and with a big welcoming smile. Nothing was a problem. We will certainly use airbnb again and definitely recommend to our friends.
Jun 27, 2019My family of 3 and my best friends family of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Carol's 3 bdrm cottage. There was plenty of room and the place was clean and well stocked. The location is perfect. Just a short walk to the beach. Our adult kids 17, 18 and 22 enjoyed the pool. We were close to the shopping center to pick up groceries and the BBQ was a great bonus. We would love to come and enjoy Carol's place in the future as we love Maui and her place was wonderful.
Jun 27, 2019The house was large enough for our family of 9 (3 small boys and three couples) and comfortable. The location is great. It is close to the beach (10 minute walk) and there is a nice pool on the property that we used often, which is very close to the house. The house is very well stocked with towels and bedding and for those with kids, it is well stocked with floaties for the pool and beach toys. There is a picnic cooler and ice packs in the freezer and both bathrooms have a hair dryer. The house is not new and we did encounter some minor issues, including a leak into the hallway, which we assume has now been repaired. This detracted little from our stay, however, which we enjoyed very much.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great time at Carol's place! It was even better than it looks in the pictures; the patio is huge and has a mango tree, and there's a new sleeper couch in the living room. The kitchen was fully stocked, and when we ran out of gas with the bbq Carol brought over a new tank right away. Thanks Carol!
Jun 27, 2019Die Lage des Cottage ist zentral allerdings liegt es genau an einem stark befahrenen Highway. Und dadurch ist Tags und Nachts starker Verkehrslärm. Es ist es etwas in die Jahre gekommen und eine Modernisierung wäre nicht schlecht. Das Cottage war bei der Übergabe nur oberflächlich sauber aber in Details nicht gut gereinigt. Der Grill und Kühlschrank waren in keinem guten Zustand. Die Kontaktaufnahme mit Carol via Airbnb oder Mail war nach der Buchung ohne Reaktion geblieben, so dass wir erst vor Ort nach einem Anruf den Code für die Schlüsselbox erhalten haben. Da hätten wir uns im Vorfeld über ein paar Informationen gefreut. Der Pool war gut und wir hatten diesen oft für uns alleine. Noch eine Sache zum Checkout: um 7 Uhr stand die Putzfrau vor der Tür und wollte reinigen. Sie sagte Checkout wäre um 10 Uhr. Wir haben Sie dann gebeten um 10 wiederzukommen. Darüber war sie nicht wirklich erfreut. Alles in allem unser bisher schlechteste Erfahrung.
Jun 27, 2019The house is conveniently located, right next to a golf course and on the other side of HW 30 is Kaanapali beach. Carol provides many items, such as a cooler, beach chairs, water shoes, pool floatation devices, golf clubs and even a bottle of sunburn cooler. We didn't expect them, but these things turned out to be very helpful. The house was clean, bright and airy. We didn't try the outdoor grill, but suppose it works as other appliances. Overall, it is a charming little house. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Jun 27, 2019Our stay was great! Carol responded to questions very quickly. She was straight to the point, but helpful. There was a miscommunication with the checkout and this was handled professionally. We appreciated that. The location of the cottage is perfect. It is close the beach, restaurants, and activities. It is easy to park rental cars near the entrance. The pool area is nice and quiet. The house was clean and matched the photos. There are beach chairs and coolers to use which was very helpful. We really enjoyed the space and would recommend it!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful condo in a quiet area! The pool is very private. Everything you need to make your stay relaxing. Plenty of room.
Jun 27, 2019라하이나에서 보낸 3일의 시간은 마우이 전체를 즐기기에는 너무나 짧고 행복했습니다. 캐롤의 집은 우리에겐 훌륭한 휴식처가 되어 주었지요. 필요한 것은 거의 모든 것이 구비되어 있었고, 말그대로 내집같이 편안한 곳이었습니다. 창문에 붙어 있던 도마뱀, 문앞을 나서면 보였던 은하수, 조용한 야간 정취는 정말 환상적이었지요. 다음기회에 다시 올수 있다면 좋겠습니다. 너무 바빠서 풀장을 이용못한 것은 아쉽네요. 아이들을 위한 여행으로 다시 왔으면 합니다. 캐롤 잘지내고 왔어요.
Jun 27, 2019The house was well equipped with everything you need/want. Spices, condiments, towels, beach toys etc. The space is big and adequately fit our party of 6 adults + 1 toddler. 5 minute walk to a spectacular beach and a close drive to everything you want in west Maui. I would definitely stay here again in a heart beat. The pool is a 30 second walk away and was always empty.
Jun 27, 2019We had an amazing stay. The house is very comfortable. The only issue we had is the blinders in the twin bed room. When my mother opened them some came down.
Jun 27, 2019Carol's place was perfect for our visit. It is bigger than it looked on pictures and housed 5 adults with room to spare. The location was perfect, close to the highway and a 10 minute walk from a really nice beach with great snorkeling. There were plenty of towels for the beach and a lot of great beach toys in storage as well. The condo was in a great location in the complex, good for watching the sunset and going to the pool, which we never saw anyone at. Would definitely book again!

Jun 27, 2019Carol is friendly and generally respond to our questions very promptly. The house is nice and located in a good spot--5 minutes' walk to the beach. However, I must point out that the original description is not accurate. It says "AC" in the title and clearly states that the house has AC. However, upon our arrival in the late evening, we discovered that there was not a single AC unit in the APT. We contacted Carol, and were told the AC was broken and removed. Her initial suggestion is to ask us to find another place and she will refund us, which seems to me ridiculous as it's impossible to find a comparable home at 7:30pm in West Maui with a comparable price! To provide some context, we made the reservation 6 months ago just in the hope of securing a good place with a reasonable price. End of story is that Carol brought two portable ACs on the second day and we have no choice but to suck it up. To be fair, it was not too hot in Maui in Feb, and we are generally satisfied with this home, but inaccurate description? Whatever
Jun 27, 2019The house is fine, and was big enough for our group of 6 adults with room to spare. However, we had a really negative experience dealing with Carol. When we arrived, I called her to let her know about some issues (bathroom shower wasn't draining, no propane for gas, AC not working), and she said she'd send her handyman over soon. That afternoon, I got back to the house and nothing had been done. Eventually, when he did show up, Carol had only told him about the propane so he wasn't able to fix any of the other issues and had to come back later. Roto Rooter ended up having to come for the bathroom because the handyman couldn't fix it and despite us telling Carol in writing and over the phone that we weren't comfortable with the plumber entering the house without us or her handyman present, we arrived home to find him there alone and he told us Carol had given him the access code. She was incredibly rude about the entire thing, and we had to spend multiple days of our vacation dealing with these issues. Ultimately, there are plenty of other houses in the area that are just as big/nice at the same price so I can't recommend this one because of the negative experience with Carol and her management style.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful house in nice location. We've enjoyed staying in your house, plenty of room and this house has everything you need for big family vacation l. Thank you so much Carol.
Jun 27, 2019Everyone loved Carol's place. The patio with the bbq was a real hit. It was close to everything that our group wanted to do.
Jun 27, 2019Very spacious, beautifully furnished & decorated, and appointed with nice kitchen ware. The location is excellent; a very quick walk to the beach and beachfront walk, while not needing to stay in the middle of it all. All the beach gear we needed (except for snorkeling) was provided. Noise from the highway is considerable, but we felt almost alone in the pool and neighborhood, and enjoyed the patio with the evening sunsets. Easy parking. Carol was easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions. Thanks, Carol!
Jun 27, 2019We all loved Carol’s place!! It was very beautiful, spacious and perfect place to stay for a big group of people (Three adults and four teen agers and one elementary kid) like us. It has everything you need, and we really enjoyed making BBQ dinner every night at the outdoor terrace. Since Kaanapali Beach is in a walking distance, we went to beach every day. It was also very nice that we could use some floating boards, portable chairs and straw mats that Carol has provided for the beach. Carol was very nice, easy to get hold and she responded to us quickly when we had some questions. We would definitely like to come back again this place in near future when we visit Maui. Thank you very much, Carol!

Jun 27, 2019The photos of the space are accurate, and the large common spaces/dining area/etc were great for our family vacation as we spent a lot of time playing trivia/card games in the living room. The location was also very good - secluded and central right across the highway from Ka'anapali. While the unit was clean, there is a musty/mildew odor that we couldn't really put our finger on. I will note that a lot of other places we visited on the island had this same issue. Generally, while the furniture was nice and the whole thing was cute and had an island decor, it really does need to be renovated I think. The air conditioner worked very well, but the AC unit condenser was right outside the house and was very loud in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. A note about the 3rd bedroom: the twin beds are small and not for adults. Also - the door in the 3rd bedroom was not really a door, more like hinged partition that you find leading to a den or a closet - basically it only provided for people not to see inside, but you could hear everything going on in the common spaces which made it very difficult to sleep if other people were awake. This bedroom is really only for children, it is not fit for adults. I wish that the owner would have mentioned this when I contacted her and clearly stated that we had 6 adults and no children. Additionally - the WiFi was very poor - nearly unusable. No HDTV. This was especially apparent to us as we had just stayed in a AirBnB in Honolulu the week before that had clearly updated WiFi and Electronics, so it was a bit annoying.
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay at Carol's place. Great size house. Very stylish but welcoming. Enjoyed the space, deck and pool and appreciated the well stocked and well equipped kitchen.
Jun 27, 2019Location was walkable to the beach which was nice and the house had everything we needed! Didn't use the communitiy pool or anything so my review is just of the house. House wasn't anything fancy but worked out well and was affordable. Will probably stay closer to downtown Lahaina next time but it was only an $11 Uber ride. Overall the house was great!
Jun 27, 2019Carol是亲切而友善的,她的房子在一个高尔夫俱乐部内,环境优美,交通便利｡离拉海纳小镇开车7分钟,到捕鲸镇海滩开车3分钟｡ 房子里是三个卧室,典型的夏威夷风格装修,藤蔓家具很舒服,厨房及卫生间都干净整洁,非常适合家庭入住｡ 在入住过程中我们遇到一些小麻烦,和房东联系,很快都得到了满意的答复和解决!
Jun 27, 2019Loved the cottage and the location.
Jun 27, 2019Cottage was clean and very spacious for our group. Nice swimming pool nice and close. Parking was handy for unloading and loading to go. Very quick to respond to any questions. Very easy to deal with.
Jun 27, 2019This place is a great place to stay for big families. Loved the Bbq place. Make sure to check the gas for bbq because when I get there, there's only half gas left for the bbq grill. I contact Carol and she said she'll refill it the next day but didn't for the whole time we stayed. Luckily it's enough to BBQ for 2 days. The A/C noise is very loud in 2nd and 3rd room. The A/C located right outside the 2nd room. So don't open your window. when we first step in the room is smells and dusty so we open all the window. It stills doesnt help but is nothing unbearable. Becareful of the dish washer. The water leaks on our last night of staying there and the water smells very I meant very bad. I contact Carol about it she just said she'll have repairment men come to fix it. Overall is a nice place to stay if the condo get clean more often to get rid of those dusty smells. The location is great. Carol is quick to response when I contact her.
Jun 27, 2019Big, beautiful house and reasonable price!
Jun 27, 2019Easy access , very spacious and clean. Close to every beach worth seeing.
Jun 27, 2019The cottage is across the highway from Ka'anapali beach resorts, which was ideal for our work needs. The area is quiet and the cottage is well equipped with all the travel needs. The kitchen and family room are very open and good for gathering. The pool was refreshing and clean and the patio off the cottage was a nice feature. Carol was easy to communicate with during booking and our stay. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back for any of our work trips again!

Jun 27, 2019Large house close to the beach that needs a little TLC. Overall our stay was good, the property is big and fit the 6 of us plus a child nicely. I'll list the things that I found good and not so good below. Pros: We were able to check in early which was nice. 10 minutes walking to the beach. Plenty of parking. We were cooking a lot and had everything we needed to cook with right in the house. Air conditioner keeps the place nice and cool. Phone reception at the location is great(Verizon). Lots of beach gear like chairs and floating boards etc. Everything like the beds and towels felt clean. Cons: Like other reviewers have mentioned, the house itself feels a little old and not really cared for. During our stay we had the sink leak and the kettle break. Also the fridge was leaking a bit. Not a huge deal just annoying. There are three rooms total with beds, 2 bedrooms with king beds each and 1 room converted into a bedroom with two twin beds. The king beds are comfortable but the twin beds are pretty old and squeaky. The wifi is just plain bad. It's slow and for about 3 nights out of 7 it just didn't work. The house has crickets living in it and they like to make noise at night which freaked out my wife at first. I killed a couple on our stay there but there are definitely more. And the last thing is the air conditioner, it's REALLY loud. It hangs right outside one of the bedrooms so when it's on it's practically impossible to sleep in there. It's fine during the night since you don't really need it on but if you like to take naps during the day you can't use that bedroom. In general everything was fine but if the owner would just take care of the house a bit it would be a much better place to stay.
Jun 27, 2019Hermosa casa, buena ubicación, cercana a la playa. Equipamiento full, todo lo que una familia con niños pudiera necesitar, hasta el más mínimo detalle.Ubicada en un entorno maravilloso. Recomendable totalmente

Jun 27, 2019Our stay at Carol's place was great. There was ample room for our group of seven. We enjoyed the AC and swimming pool. The house was very clean and it satisfied all of our household needs. We were able to walk to the beach and shopping centers. There is also a few restaurants and convenience stores nearby. We highly recommend staying at Carol's place.
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay! Carol was very responsive and helped whenever we made any requests! I would stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019Un appartement spacieux et cosy. Bien équipé et confortablement meublé. Seul bémol, le nettoyage des sols n'avait pas été effectué. Beaucoup de poussière et de sable. Le cottage est situé dans une très belle résidence magnifiquement entretenue, mais se trouve proche de la route cependant. Bruyant.
Jun 27, 2019Very roomy. Great vacation home in nice quit community.
Jun 27, 2019The house is in a great location, 5 minutes walk from a beautiful beach with great snorkeling, 10 minutes walk to the Royal Lahaina luau. The common areas were spacious and fit our party of three families traveling together. Kids loved the pools. There were a few issues. I'd double checked well in advance of our arrival that there would be 2 portable baby cribs and the twin beds would be made up as one double bed; neither was done when we arrived, and I couldn't get hold of Carol for a while (which was more of a concern for the cribs, as we had 2 sleepy babies but only 1 baby bed). Both issues were taken care of within 24 hours. A panel fell off in the kitchen and the dishwasher leaked; Carol sent someone to take care of both things the day we reported them. After a few logistical bumps in the beginning, we enjoyed our stay at the cottage.
Jun 27, 2019Carol was great. Very helpful.
Jun 27, 2019Good location near great beaches, restaurants and shopping, and with all amenities needed for a family traveling with kids. Will definitely consider staying at this bungalow again during a future visit to Maui.
Jun 27, 2019Carol's home is conveniently located and offers great views from the front porch. It was very relaxing to watch the sun come up in the morning from there. It was walking distance to the beach and the property location even offered great walkways for morning and evening strolls, given its proximity to a nice golf course. Carol's pantry had extra food items that we were not expecting. Carol offered plenty of dishes and silverware so we didn't have to run the dishwasher until it was full. She also had plenty of towels. The house was very cozy and spacious. She provided some great reading materials on local activities that we found very helpful. Finally, Carol was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall, staying at Carol's home enabled us to have a great experience at Maui!
Jun 27, 2019Carol' s Place was amazing! She had music going for us when we arrived and the home was clean and inviting. The views are gorgeous and only a 5 min walk to the beach. We loved having a grill on-site and full kitchen to prepare our own meals. There is a grocery store less than 1 mile away. We also very much loved being able to do laundry. And because we travelled with kids, the pool was a hit. I will be coming back and recommending to my friends and family.
Jun 27, 2019Great stay. Great amenities. As advertised.
Jun 27, 2019We just returned home from a week long stay at Carols place and we can’t wait to go back! The home was spacious enough to accommodate 6 adults and 2 kids and had all the amenities of home! We had access to snorkel gear, boogie boards, a washer and dryer, TONS of towels, blankets, dish ware, a pack n play, the list goes on. It was the perfect house for my family, my parents and my brother and his wife to spend family time together in Maui! Carol was extremely helpful and available for anything we needed while we we were on island. The views of the ocean and the sunsets from the lanai were amazing, and the BBQ worked great! The pool at the complex was a few short steps away and mostly empty every day we went. The beach was a little walk, maybe 8 minutes, but totally convenient and literally across the main street from the complex. Cannot say enough good things about our trip..we will be back soon!
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay!
Jul 27, 2019とてもよかったです｡一通りのものが揃っていました｡WiFiが最後の方遅かったです｡
Jun 27, 2019Carol is extremely responsive. The house is in a great location with a cool older Hawaiian feel rather than a high rise resort which was much more our speed. It’s well stocked with everything you could need.
Jun 27, 2019Carol's place was perfect for our trip - spacious, airy and very well located. We could easily walk to Airport Beach, get to the center of Lahaina in no time and really enjoy all that Maui has to offer. There is ample parking at the house, too. The beds are comfy, linens plentiful, the washer and dryer work well so that we always had a supply of fresh towels and clothes. There are lots of ceiling fans (three in the living/dining area) that keep air circulating so the AC doesn't have to work as hard. The bedrooms have lots of closet space and dressers as well, so no lack of places to put stuff. The master bath is a little tight for two (only a single sink) but the shower is spacious and the toilet is separated by a door, which is always a good thing. The kitchen is well-appointed (a full set of Kirkland pots) and three people can work in it without getting in one another's way. Carol was very attentive and responsive, even though we did not meet her face to face. All the instructions were clear and she answered all of our questions really quickly. There was a little miscommunication with the cleaning crew on our departure day (we checked out a bit later than they would have liked) but that got worked out in the end. All in all, a great stay and we would go back.
Jun 27, 2019Carol’s place was far better than we would have expected. The space was huge, very clean and had all the amenities we needed (and more!). 5 mins from a fantastic beach, very close to parking and pool access and truly a wonderful space to call home. Carol was professional, quick to reply, and clearly takes good care of her space. Would definitely recommend and will be returning! Mahalo!
Jun 27, 2019This is a great place for family vacations. My family have stayed in almost half of the cottages on this property over the last 25 years. Year after year, we love it. The property is quiet, with two pools and beautiful landscaping. It's a great location, within walking distance to the beach, and a super short drive to the resorts and restaurants at Kaanapali, and about 10 minutes outside Lahaina. A full grocery store is 5 minutes away. This cottage is one of the largest on the property. It has three bedrooms and was perfect for our adult family of 5. The kitchen was perfect and we spent all our mornings with coffee on the large patio. We actually had ripe mangos on the tree over head and we ate one each day. The laundry is a great amenity, allowing us to pack light. They also had pool toys and lots of towels for pool and beach trips.
Jun 27, 2019Super house for the party of 6 we had. Very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen and eating area was great to have. We were able to do laundry and come home with clean clothes. Very responsive and helpful host. Thank u Carol
Jul 27, 2019Great place, close to our favorite beach, and plenty big enough for the family. We will definitely be back.
Jun 27, 2019This 3 bed house is really a great place in a great spot. The living area is old style vaulted which is lovely. The place is dated, but it feels island-y so that really isn't a problem. Coming from ultra modern San Francisco it is quite a change, but a welcome one. The walk to beach is about 10 minutes and the local beach is Kahekili beach, which is great for snorkeling (though there are better). The beach is much better than Kaanapali (which is frankly awful) and is a great place to be based. It was never crowded. As for the house: There were ample boogie boards (no waves so we didn't use them). There were ample masks and snorkels for adults and kids (we didn't use because we brought our own) and a pair of fins (we had our own). Plenty of towels as well. There was a small beach umbrella, which does the trick for two, but we brought our own sand anchor and would recommend either your own umbrella with anchor or purchasing one. There were also a couple of coolers (which we used) and various other items. We did bring our own water shoes and those are essential for kids and less confident swimmers. The house had a fully stocked kitchen including many basic ingredients (no olive oil, but we left our extra bottle). There was also trash bags and dishwasher soap, as well as laundry pods (we never did laundry). Bathrooms has soap and hand soap as well. Shopping was really limited to groceries, which was incredibly useful. Carol had a bottle of wine for us when we arrived. Parking was easy and right next door. We used the car to go to farther beaches and the Safeway (about 10 minutes away). The lanai was very pleasant with a good gas BBQ. All switches were thoroughly explained with sticky labels (actually quite a good idea). The TV and entertainment area was lacking. No way to connect to the dated stereo system (bring your own UE speaker for hanging out). And the TV channels on DISH were not HD (funny how poor the picture quality was until HD). Also no premium channels and the only way to watch movies was a DVD player. So no movie nights here. A couple of issues. The proximity to the highway was just loud enough to be noticeable but not enough to disturb sleep. The windows are old style glass slats which don't do a good job of noise damping or insulation, but do a good job of airing the house out during the night. There was AC but we don't like AC and didn't need it during out trip. Daytime high inside was 84 and overnight that dropped to 80. AC usually causes someone to get an earache so this is a blessing. The sprinkler woke us up a couple of times. Carol was an excellent host. She restocked the washing pods when we ran out and was...
Jun 27, 2019Vi er en familie på 5 som hadde en fantastisk uke på Carol's sted. Huset er nesten enda finere enn hva bildene viser, og hadde alle fasiliteter vi trengte. Gangavstand til strand. Carol hadde lagt alt godt til rette og svarer raskt når man henvender seg til henne.
Jun 27, 2019During our stay and leading up to it Carol was very helpful and gave quick responses to any questions or concerns we had. It is a very spacious home, that is a quick 10 minute walk to the beach and about a 30 minute walk to restaurants and shopping.
Jun 27, 2019We stayed at Carol's place for 7 nights and had a great time. The house is very spacious and comfortable. It had all the amenities you will need along with extra wash clothes and towels. Location was close to the beach and shopping. We would definitely recommend Carol's house and look forward to coming back next year.
Jun 27, 2019Thank you Carol for being such a great host! We had a wonderful stay at Cottage 42. The house was perfect and so close to everything. There was a lot of space, and we enjoyed the pool also.
Jun 27, 2019Words cannot express how much we loved Carol’s place. The pictures really don’t do it justice! The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook many meals, and there was plenty of counter space. The dining area was very nice and had plenty of room as well. The living area had the most wondeful, cozy sofas. The layout of the main living area was great - since there were several seating areas, the teenagers could each have their own space while still being together with the adults. I also appreciated the little touches like the ceiling fans and stereo already being on when we arrived, that was very welcoming. The decor is somewhat modern with a vintage Hawaiian feel - the perfect combination. Bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely sized and in good shape. We were very thankful for the use of Carol’s quality beach chairs and umbrella, as well as the washer/dryer. The location is great - the beach at the end of the street was great for snorkeling and bodysurfing, and less crowded than Ka’anapali despite being right next to it. We didn’t have any trouble parking at the beach, and we also walked to it once. I can only hope it won’t be too many years before I get to visit Maui and stay in this beautiful cottage again!
Jun 27, 2019This home had some 5 stars and 2 Stars. It lacked attention to detail. The photos don’t allow for actual smell of the home. It may have been a the type of cleaner that was used on the flooring, but it was pungent. This home had AC which was a plus, unfortunately this may be the only upside. It did come with a fully stocked kitchen (ie, utensils, cookware, cups , etc) and washer and dryer, but all that is expected when renting a home for a long period of time. This home lacked functionality. The bedroom linens were dated, flat and smelly. The TV system had to be carefully tested to see what worked. And the home wasn’t fully sealed to keep outside critters where they belong. However, I would rather see a lizard than a spider or other kind of bug.
Jun 27, 2019This is a spacious unit right off the highway. The beach gear was great and the pool was nice. Would definitely stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Cottage was even better than expected. It is wonderfully located and had everything you might need. Check in was easy and the community pools on site were a nice bonus
Jun 27, 2019Great place and a GREAT location! Just a 10 minute walk to the beach and the standard beach gear provided helped us out a lot. Thanks Carol!
Jun 27, 2019Great place clean and not far from the beach with plenty of things in the area to do. Would certainly visit again.
Jun 27, 2019We just returned from a magical 14 day trip to Hawaii, with 10 days in Maui at Carol's place with 7 people. (Grandma/Grandpa, Mom/Dad and 3 kids (ages 21, 19 and 15) Communicating with Carol was exceptional - she always got back to me within 30 mins. Check-in was super easy. The location of the home, was perfect, right in Kaanapali and a very close and easy drive to Lahaina and Whalers village shopping and dining. The home is nice-loved the wooden beams and how roomy everything was. Close parking lot, right by the home. The private Lanai was awesome, spend every morning enjoying the sunrise!! It has 2 lounger chairs and 4 chairs and table. It also comes with a BBQ. The 3 bedrooms were great and roomy!! 1 Master with en-suite bathroom for Gma/Gpa, 1 Queen Room for Mom/Dad and 1 room w 2 twins + additional bathroom. Youngest daughter slept on the couch in the living room, as there are muliple "living areas and couches. The living area and kitchen were nice and roomy - even had netflix and wi-fi, which the teens were very grateful for! The property has a swimming pool just 3 doors down, which we never used, but it is nice and has a small outside kitchen and BBQ area. A quick 10 min walk to a beach, which was super easy and nice to do in the mornings We loved that the home came with lots of extras!! Lots of Beach towels, 2+ beach chairs, 2 body boards, sand toys, 3-4 pool noodles, etc. Rental place was super close, so we were able to rent additional chairs, snorkel equipment and additional body boards and surf boards (great prices). Check out was super easy. We loved Carols house and are looking forward to our next stay in Maui and at the home!! Mahalo <3
Jul 27, 2019We had such a great time! This cottage is in a great location, very private and peaceful. Parking was easy and very close by. Carol was super responsive and helpful. This place had all the things that mattered most to us!
Jun 27, 2019Carol's place was wonderful. We truly enjoyed our stay! The common areas were spacious and a great space to gather. Thank you so much, Carol! We would definitely stay again!
Jun 27, 2019This home was perfect for our stay with my husband, my sister and her husband, and our mom for her 80th birthday. The location was well situated in town and the home itself was very spacious, beautiful, and so comfortable. There was enough space for us to all lounge around together, or go into other areas of the home as we needed. The Lanai has a nice (distant) ocean view with lovely plants surrounding it and the birds love nearby the trees. There is a little bit of road noise while on the lanai, but it’s not so disturbing that you won’t use the space. We did every day! The beds and all other furniture are very comfortable. We loved having the beach chairs and towels to use at the local beaches. My husband even enjoyed a round of golf on the adjoining golf course. Carol was prompt and responsive to all questions and wonderful to work with. We will certainly plan to come back to this location as soon as time allows!
