OMG! This place is so so so cute! Matthew did an amazing job with the remodel (building is a bit older, typical large condo complex, so assuming he remodeled recently). You will LOVE this place. And I think there’s a connecting unit which would be awesome for a group of four to rent both units if possible, but don’t quote me on that as I’ve yet to confirm he owns both units.
For this unit, if you are two travelers that do not need a lot of space the space is great. If you’re solo it’s absolutely perfect! You’ll have ALL you need.
1. The views
The balcony overlooks the western end of Haleakala mountain and in the distance you can see the western beachside/ocean of Kihei. The grounds horticulture is very tropical and provides a gorgeous view from the room and balcony. There’s a chair on the balcony to enjoy the sunset or later morning sunrise over the mountain. Had breakfast on the balcony it was priceless.
2. Noise
This place is very chill and quiet. Walls are a bit thin if you’re projecting music loudly at off hours or loud talking anytime, but I’d say it’s 95% very quiet.
3. Amenities
I didn’t use the pool nor tennis courts but they are available for use.
4. Security
Building requires a key car but the doors were open every day and night. It’s seemingly safe. The only caution is coming and going from the parking structures or lot at dark hours could be concerning for those unprepared. I as fine and came home after 9 each night
5. Parking
Is either in a open lot just diagonal to the right from the Building Q entrance if you’re standing at the entrance or on floor 2 parking is covered (if you’re lucky and early enough to find a spot) or floor 3 uncovered and usually lots of options, but there are some wood based open structures to attempt to cover your car. I didn’t see an elevator but the stairs are manageable if you’re not incapacitated in any way. There are at least two sets of stairs I saw. One closer to bldg Q and the tennis courts and one closer to the community office. I carried a heavy large luggage up the two flights and down two flights of stairs with no problem and I’m built small.
