The little house on Luakini was just as pictured - a great size for myself and my two teenage sons. Room to hang out together in the living room, plus we each had our own rooms for sleeping. The house was clean, had beach chairs, beach towels, kitchen utensils, starter laundry soap, fresh bath soap, etc. you can walk everywhere in Lahaina which is great, but you are directly behind The Wharf which is a shopping square with restaurants and bars - so you WILL hear back-up beeping from rumbling trucks very early in the morning, as well as buses. Didn't bother my teens who were in the smaller bedrooms farther back, but I was awakened every morning - so I just got up :) The window AC unit may help somewhat but they are also loud and clunky sounding. The one in the room with the single bed worked only for a while each night, then would stop cooling, but keep clunking. Again, didn't bother my boys.
The house is kind of a duplex and you can hear the other people - especially in or near the bathroom - so we kept the bathroom door closed.
Note that there are no closets in any of the bedrooms and very limited space to unpack. There is some hanging space in the hall closet so I was able to get by, and my boys lived out of their suitcases - though is is really not much room to keep them open in the bedrooms. We aren't fussy so we were fine - we're out every day enjoying the amazing Maui weather & activities.
Lots to do within walking distance though - and we were comfortable there as a family.
One note.. I was doing laundry one night & when I took my things out of the dryer, I found that someone had put a dirty mop cover and cleaning rags in with my things. Gross and totally not cool. The people in the other side had checked out so I'm guessing the cleaning people threw their rags and stuff in my wash, even though there is a washer dryer on the porch of the other unit.
The outside could use some TLC, but if you're chill outdoorsy types and not expecting the moon, this place is just fine. Bring coffee! There is no starter stuff :)
