Bob’s condo is exactly as pictured. The unit was clean and had lots of beach amenities (chairs, beach towels, boogie board, umbrella, cooler, snorkel gear, etc.). It was great being on the ground floor, and it has the most amazing view of the ocean! The water is a mere 50 steps off the lanai. The pool on the property is sparkling clean and located just to the right of the lanai. BBQ grills are nicely maintained and made for a good dinner one evening. The assigned parking spot is right behind the unit so you don't have far to walk. The air conditioner was a great option as there were record highs during our stay. We took several morning walks on Sugar Beach. Be sure to walk out to the sea wall in the evening to watch the large sea turtles feed.
Maalaea is a very quiet area and not too far from Lahaina, Kihei, or the airport. You can walk to Maalaea Harbor if you choose to do a snorkeling or dinner cruise. There is also a small general store, several restaurants, and the Maui Ocean Center.
There was a misunderstanding about some landscaping work that was being done by the facility in the middle of our stay. Bob had no control over it, but was very proactive about the situation and we quickly had a resolution. This is why I usually only stay with Super Hosts as I assume they’ll take care of any potential problems. I would definitely stay here again on any future trips to Maui.
