A little bit of paradise
Great place to turn off the iPhone and relax. Bring your snacks, build a charcuterie board or two and pop a cork.
Wonderful calm area to kayak or paddle board even if you’re not a pro. Nice bay cove with iguanas!
Sue and Steve’s hospitality is exceptional.

Paradise found!
There’s a reason all the reviews scored so high. You’d be hard pressed to find a more private and inspired place while in Maui! Fabulous doesn’t describe how well the grounds are maintained. The staff was equally excellent looking after your every desire. Directly on the beach with free use of all their equipment. I can’t say enough good things. You’ll regret staying anywhere else!
