This has been my 4 th stay at this gorgeous home. It is the perfect Hawaiian experience for those wanting be out of the typical hotel/condo experience. You almost feel like you live and belong there in that wonderful neighborhood. Not only is the house beautiful and the lanai, trees, birds, and fresh fruit delightful, when available, the view from this house is awesome, any time of the day with spectacular sunsets. There is a nice beach down the street, or you go to many other great beaches nearby, or just hang out at the house around the pool and waterfall. The owners are a fantastic family and you get to eperience their friendly animals and have fresh , delicious eggs each day from their free roaming chickens. It is a pure joy for my family to spend 2 weeks there and have a native feel. I always feel welcome and feel I have a home away from home. I never need or want to look to stay anywhere else. I highly recommend Villa Makai, it is my all time favorite place to relax and feel as one with the beautiful surroundings. The family who has the home are awesome as well. Don 't think twice for staying here. For us it is perfect and always leave wishing we could stay longer, but, know we will be back next year!

Every morning you wake up to a beautiful view of the ocean and the island of Lanai in the distance. Every evening you witness a beautiful sunset. You can watch the cruise ships and saliboats come in and the whales swin by when migrating from a panoramic viewpoint. The stars at night look close enough to touch. The mountains behind the house are ever changing with the cloud formations. Everything was perfect and they pay close attention to detail and every comfort. It's close to a trail that leads you back to a running stream. It's a close drive into town when the need arises. But who wants to leave this setting. There is a beach park down at the end of the road. Very convenient with surfing and a kids' shallow area protected by a sea wall. The swimming pool is a beautiful lagoon type pool with a waterfall and spa attached. It's all beautiful and I had a wonderful relaxing stay. I have been there twice and can't wait to return next year.

We all had a wonderful stay in Maui. Enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, weather, pool, BBQ, and the animals were well behaved and very friendly- a nice treat for our family! Location was great, Lahaina is a lovely Hawaiian town.
