Our extended family of 11 Adults stayed at this Amazing property 12/20-12/27/2020, sharing Christmas and also Celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary; it was an Incredible and Special Week. Fran and Craig Hill, the owners, were responsive, helpful, positive, and easy to work with coordinating our stay. The beautiful home with stunning ocean and Lana'i island views from the living room-kitchen/dining areas were breathtaking. We viewed whales daily as they spouted their way across the ocean. Everyone took advantage of snorkeling Turtle Cove just a short path below the house, mesmerized by the fish and turtles; so memorable. We were also blessed with fantastic weather, and also enjoyed the community pool, and the private hot tub at the residence. The property was perfect - beach, snorkeling, pool, hot tub, and my 27 year old son and 21 year old nephew also surfed just outside the cove one afternoon; such a great sight! This is a warm, inviting, and beautiful home - there was plenty of room for all of us to come together, or break into smaller groups depending on what we were doing. We had a Christmas Tree and decorations sent to the Hills' business in Lahaina, and they delivered it to the home before we checked in on the 20th. The extra refrigerator in the laundry room just off the garage was a bonus for our large group -with most of our meals prepared and enjoyed at home. The young adults enjoyed the beach just past Kapalua - Slaughterhouse Beach - and went there twice. We especially enjoyed our Christmas Morning Whale Watching Cruise with the Pacific Whale foundation eco-tours that was reserved for us by Karen D., Concierge for this lovely property. We had such an active viewing from 9-11am, we could not believe all the whales breaching, spouting, flapping their tails, communicating........we will all remember that incredible cruise for a very long time. If you are looking for a Special Property for a Memorable Visit, you will love all that this property offers......right at your footsteps. Of course, we day tripped past Kapalua around the island one day, went into Lahaina another, to Kihei for 2 boat rentals we had reserved for 12/26, dinner at Leilani's in Lahaina for our Anniversary, and also to Kahului to grocery shop........so much to do and see. We all agreed that during this challenging year - we were so grateful and thankful to be able to come together to spend a truly treasured magical week long stay. Mahalo nut loa!
