The Condo: 100% accurate to the pictures, but the pictures dont show some wear and tear from much love and use over the years. Nothing terrible, just a bit older.

Bedroom is large, bed is comfortable. It's at the back of the apartment so it stays shaded and has a strong fan to keep cool. Kitchen is well equipt and having the washer/dryer made all the difference. Sitting room is fine, we didnt watch any TV but it was a nice set up (the couch could use an update). Pool was lovely. Lots of BBQ use. Put the camping chairs in the car and use them everywhere you go! Wifi was reliable and easy to access.

The best part was the balcony - you look right out onto the ocean and can see turtles nearly 100% of the time. The guest book mentioned seeing whales and dolphins at the right time of year! Be warned though, lots of bugs at night, I got a lot of bites :( It's never in the sun (we preferred this) so it's risk-free to sit there for hours.

Neighbourhood: This condo is on a quiet street with several other condo buildings. It was 80% retirees / vacationers (older, american) and 20% younger couples/families. Past the condo, all within walking distance, down the street is a lovely quiet beach. Down towards the marina there are several restaurants, the aquarium (expensive but worth a visit) and all of Maui's boat tours leave from here too.

It's conveniently located (15 mins drive) to Costco and Kmart, and only 20-30 mins to the nearest towns (Lahaina) up the coast. We preferred this location to the more resort intensive parts of the island and would recommend for any people looking for something quiet, willing to drive, and hoping to stay out of tourist traps.

Bob/The Host: Bob was super responsive before we arrived, and patient with my questions about confirming details. We had one small issue when we were there and he called and was able to help which was great. He also made some recommendations which were lovely.
