Mick shopping for Valentine's card....

Honestly, the up close face pics of Mick, sort of freak me out, and make me wonder if he'll be stalking us.
And it ain't cheap.
I'd wager ANYTHING, that you ~somehow~ don't get your deposit back! lol

It is expensive, but think about what you're getting- a 4-bedroom mansion along the exquisite Maui oceanfront. If 8 people stay there and split the expense equally, it's about the same as staying in a middling hotel when priced per person. I would love to stay there- just to be able to snoop around and possibly discover rare Fleetwood Mac artifacts!

I don't know... even if the bill was split 8 ways, that's still $200 per person per night (with a 5 night minimum) for a house that's not even waterfront (it's only water view from the upper floors according to the website). The home is also in a fairly remote part of one of Hawaii's lesser populated islands... so without water access, the house just doesn't seem all that appealing.

I dunno...$200/night is the going rate these days for even lower-end hotels. I just stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn for Pete's sake that cost just about $300/night after taxes and fees. This for a hotel with no room service, no pool, and a pretty meh breakfast buffet for which they even charge you an extra $12.95. Nice vacation hotels (Mandarin, Four Seasons, Fairmont, Ritz) get about $300 a night for their cheapest double bed rooms, so frankly $1500 a night for an entire house that sleeps 8 is pretty damn good. The point in Maui is to escape the hustle and bustle. I'm surprised he isn't asking more.
