Mark and Jori's place is super cute and well decorated. It was very clean and inviting and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and had brand new appliances, sandwich bags, pots and pans with lids, coffee maker, cutting boards, nice knives, etc. (we bought our own condiments, salt/pepper, coffee, cooking spray, etc. from Safeway about 1.5 miles away.) It was fun to play tennis and use the pool and hot tub which is literally right outside the front door. The T.V. was nice and hooked up to several streaming services. They were thoughtful in providing games, books and 4 beach towels, chairs, etc. The shower had plenty of shampoo and body wash (no conditioner or lotion.) We didn't have a car, so we walked most places. We loved Isana sushi during happy hour (walking distance.) We also walked to Safeway for groceries. Just be aware that the sidewalks on the road end often and it can be very windy when walking! It's good to have a mask and sunglasses to keep the sand out of your face if needed.
The unit is also across the street from a lovely beach and a little turtle sanctuary cove where you can swim with the sea turtles! It feels safe and contained. We enjoyed bringing the beach chairs and placing them under the trees on the grass in the park, facing the water. This was a huge highlight of our trip.
The only surprising thing for us was the noise. The walls are very thin and we could easily hear people walking, talking, typing in the pins for the pool gate, construction, street sounds (which is where the outdoor chairs face / the beach is just beyond the road) and some partying which awakened us a couple of times. We are extra sensitive to this, as we were trying to get away from all the noise of living in the heart of L.A., but overall it was mostly peaceful. The only other thing to be aware of is that it's a corner unit at the front of the complex, so you will need to have the shades down if you want privacy as there are many people walking by and can see in easily. One other little note is that it would be great to have a dish rack for drying dishes since there isn't a dishwasher. Not a big deal at all though!
A big relief coming from our last place was how easy Mark and Jori were to communicate with. Everything went smoothly and they were prompt, kind and attentive. They were great hosts and we recommend staying at this little studio in laid back / relaxing more residential part of Maui.
