We had such a wonderful week staying in D9! The actual unit is beautiful and stunning -- the pictures are true! The owners have really done a wonderful job with this renovation. Our family of 4 were very comfortable and felt at home during this week. Some of our favorite things: truly beachfront with jaw-dropping views from the balcony; a well-stocked, clean and modern kitchen; very comfortable bed; super-easy pool and beach access. Last, but certainly not least, the beach is a dream come true: a sandy beach, warm water good for floating on some days and boogie-boarding on others, and no crowds! We visited other beaches on the island, and thoroughly enjoyed what each beach had to offer, but were always happy to return to the peaceful paradise of Ma'Alaea Surf.
