"The house description was as we found it except for the location of the beach. It is further than described but still a walkable distance to the beach. The house is in a neighborhood and there is limited parking for the beach. So there are cars parked up and down the street that the house is on. We were a group of 8 adults and 2 children and the house allowed each to have their own space but gather for family time. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utensils. Each bed room is spacious and bathrooms are stocked adequately. Washer and dryer was helpful to have available. There are beach and pool toys and plenty of beach towels. Communication was good with the host team. The house is within 20 to 30 minutes of other beaches, surfing, luau, gift and grocery shopping. Maui weather and snorkling activities was awesome."
