Would I stay here again? 100%
Would I rent directly? 100%
Location: absolutely perfect. Lovely walks along the shore. Easy access to the beach, towels, shopping, food.
The property: absolutely perfect. Landscaping is the best I’ve seen in Maui.
The apartment had everything we needed. Every kitchen tool. Every appliance.
Getting support: (4/5) this is where Airbnb added complexity. I couldn’t chat with the host about problems with Airbnb. I had to call their desk. And since it’s a corporation, it involved multiple parties.
Value : (4/5) Airbnb’s fees added a solid 15% more cost on top of what the place runs for.
Notes:
The washing machine had an error code. It looks like it’s on its last legs.
The thermostat was no bueno. It turned off 2 nights. The host’s engineer made us lock in 1 temperature and never modify it.
Despite all that, I’d stay here over any other hotel/resort in Maui.
