Dreamy sunrises with cup of coffee & sunsets with a a cocktail looking at the sea from your lanai… need to say more? My husband and I stayed in this wonderful condo for our Anniversary in October and we absolutely loved it!!! The unit looks directly into the ocean and, as others have mentioned, you can spot many turtles swimming by and hear the waves from your bed.
- Decoration: The unit is clean, nicely renovated and tastefully decorated. Tile floor throughout.
- Beach equipment: 2 beach towels, a cooler, beach bag, 5 beach chairs and snorkel gear for two people (which came in really handy)
- Cooking: We didn’t cook in the apartment, just reheated things so I can’t attest to the cookware. There are plenty of glasses, including melamine ones for using outside. There are no spices, maybe some salt & pepper in case you are planning to really cook there. There was dishsoap/dishwashing tablets/sponge, coffeemaker and two packets of coffee.
- The bed is VERY comfortable and has high quality bedding, which is rare, in most hotels/condos.
As advertised, this is a one bedroom condo but we didn’t feel cramped at all in the kitchen, living area or the bedroom.The only area that felt a little tight was the bathroom but we stayed 5 days and it was just fine.
- The lanai: is wonderful and has a table for 4 and comfortable chairs.
- Pool: It’s not very big and with the amazing beaches in the island we didn’t feel the need to try it. There is no noise from the pool in the condo.
- No beach access in the property. There is a tiny one next door. We wanted to visit many beaches so we drove around in search of the best beaches so we didn’t care.
- There is no AC but we didn’t miss it. There was really nice airflow in the unit and there were fans in the living room and in the bedroom if you tend to get hot.
- The complex: It is nice and also a bit outdated in the common areas. They were ripping out the ugly green carpets outside the units in the upper floors and they let us know prior to our arrival. We were worried about “construction noises” but it was no problem at all. We were out 9-6 anyway. Once they take out those ugly carpets it will look much more updated. There was a common laundry area and “library” but we didn’t use them. We loved how peaceful and relaxing it was in comparison to hotels/resorts etc...
- Parking: It’s free and easy with the parking pass left in the unit.
- Location: Close to Napili & Kapalua beaches (get there early to get a good spot on the sand). There is a convenience store in walking distance as well as a few restaurants. There are other bigger supermarkets in driving distance, including Safeway.
Summary: We loved it and were hesitant to share our review because we want to go back and we hope it’s not booked solid :>)
