To premise my review, I've been to maui 10 times, and have stayed at numerous locations across the island. I'm 43, stayed with my gf. This is my second time staying in this condo complex. I have friends who own a unit here as well. The unit and the complex are both fantastic. The balcony is great, nice sunset views with afternoon sun. The complex is really quiet overall, most renters seemed to be 35 plus yrs old, not a lot of children that I saw.
The unit is laid out well, with large bedrooms and sufficient space in the living area for everyday use. The kitchen came with everything you need. There are enough towels and water toys to get by without needing to buy anything during your stay. Having seen a number of the units in this complex I'd say this one is of the better values for your money. The location of the complex itself is perfect, easy access to one of the best beaches in maui for sunrise and sunset walks, swimming, etc. You're almost in wailea but don't have to pay wailea premium prices. The pools are both fantastic, clean, enjoyable. Really for anyone new to maui or returning and looking for the "perfect" combo of place and price I would recommend giving this a try. Especially if you're two couples sharing the cost then it's really a no brainer.
The only negative is, as with many maui units, the walls are a bit thin, which isn't an issue unless you have louder neighbours. With this unit there are only neighbours on one side, and being a top unit you don't have to worry about people above you. I've been lucky during my stays and haven't had any issues, nor would I say this is a deterrent from staying here, but is just a heads up in that 5% chance you get unlucky and have people blasting the TV next door or kids screaming a bunch.
I had no issues with bugs in the unit either. They must do a good job in the complex spraying because I didn't see any ants and only one cockroach in the 4 months total i've stayed at units in the complex over the past two years.
Furniture is great, bed was comfy, patio furniture was comfortable. There are plenty of board games and books in the unit to use, cable TV worked well, internet was solid except for in the second bedroom the coverage was weak but it worked.
thank you to the owners, you can tell they care about the space and renters having a nice experience. I would certainly rent it again.
Mahalo!
