The location of this condo is superb, especially if you’re looking for a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle. Kapalua Bay is a great place for snorkeling, particularly for beginners. Oneloa Beach is secluded and absolutely stunning. Both are in the “backyard” of this condo, as is the rugged lava coastline along the Kapalua Coast Trail, which is a lot of fun to walk and a terrific place to enjoy sunsets. If you walk just a bit farther (15 minutes or so from the condo) you can visit Dragon’s Teeth and Labyrinth (so beautiful!) as well as DT Fleming Beach (not as good of a beach as the other two mentioned, in my opinion, but worth a visit). These gems were much closer than I was anticipating. If you’re a runner, there are plenty of options to get in a jog. And golf is very close by. Restaurant and shopping options within walking distance are very limited, but they’re an easy, quick drive. As for the condo itself, you don’t need to go up/down any stairs to access it, so it’s a great option if you have mobility challenges. The covered lanai is the condo’s best feature, as it protects you from both sun and rain, allowing you to enjoy the space at all times. However, I wish there had been lounge chairs outside rather than a dining table. I was worried a bit about noise since this condo is next to a pool, but we didn’t find it to be an issue in April, though it’s possible that the noise levels increase in the summer. We didn’t use the kitchen much, but it seemed to be well equipped. The layout of the condo is very smart. Adjacent to the living room is a short hallway with the (huge) bathroom at the end on the left and the bedroom on the right. The bathroom, bedroom and hallway all have doors, which provides privacy for those in the bedroom and anyone using the pullout couch in the living room. There is a washer and dryer but they’re compact, so plan for small loads. As for aesthetics, many aspects of the condo were very nice – bathroom, kitchen, most furniture – but the walls were grimy and poorly painted, and the couch was a bit rough. It didn’t bother us but we did find it strange and some people might find it off-putting given the cost to rent this place. My only real complaint about renting this condo was the numerous emails, calls and texts from the property manager. I understand that they make money selling trip insurance and activities, but it would be nice if there was a way to opt out of all the communications. All in all, the location of this condo is absolutely perfect and we would definitely stay here again.
