Fantastic stay!
I don't often write reviews, but Lori's place was so great that I felt the need to share - sorry if it's a bit lengthy-- If you're looking for a great place to stay in Maui for 2-3 couples or a family of 4 (or 6), this is the place - and you need read no further.
Here are the details:
--The view is spectacular - every bit as great as the photos. At other locations you might need to drive to see the beach or the sunset. We spent each evening with dinner or a cocktail watching the sunset over Lanai from the 8th floor balcony-and if you come in Feb, you may be lucky to have literally dozens of whales spouting and breeching just a few hundred yards off shore (bring binocs!) as you look toward Molokai. Maybe we were just lucky but the was a daily occurrence (humpbacks mate and calve in the waters between maui and molokai off the shores of this area) .
The apt is very spacious and the beds very comfortable (this is a big one for me as I have a bad back). Sleep was no problem even with the time zone change--we left the sliders open and listened to the waves at night. The kitchen is large and Lori has fully outfitted it with kitchenware - you can actually cook here - as we often did -- there's a very good fish market up the road, and well maintained BBQ grills at the base of the building.
The location is very convenient to Lahaina, great beaches and snorkeling.( Lori provides beach towels!) The pool at the complex is very pleasant for a family and big enough to do laps as we did. They also provide chaises on the beach that we used. It wasn't hard to get one, though in fairness, we visited 2/2021 so it's possible it was less crowded b/o covid.
Other notes - we've done a number of airbnb's - Lori is a phenomenal host - we had a few questions and she was always responsive. There was a very minor snag during our check in - her on site manager responded by phone immediately and they were very kind to send us a big fruit bowl the next day as she felt badly about the check in as she knew we were tired from our flight. (unnecessary but much appreciated). She also provides a lot of items like trash bags, laundry soap etc, which you would otherwise need to purchase.
In summary, we loved it - couldn't have been better. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did .
