We recently returned from our first visit to Maui, actually our first trip to Hawaii and we had an amazing time! We have already recommended this condo to friends and family. The view from the lanai was something I thought we could only dream of without staying at an expensive resort on the busy - northern part of the island. Being able to watch the sunsets with a glass of wine without paying for a pricey meal was amazing.
The condo was spotless upon arrival and is very spacious. There is plenty of space to travel with another couple or with family members and never feel that you are in each others way.
The kitchen is well stocked with any utensil you could possibly need, fantastic if you are planning an extended stay! All the beach gear you could need was provided - multiple snorkel sets, towels, chairs with umbrellas, coolers, etc. No need to bring or rent any of these items upon arrival. There is a good sized washer and dryer combo available - we tried to ensure we beat off as much sand as possible off the towels and washed the snorkel gear at the water hose provided just outside the building before returning to the condo. We all know sand gets EVERYWHERE.
One thing that we were so thankful for was the quiet, we would forget that we were in a condo altogether as we rarely heard another person, even with a busy parking lot in the evening.
The condo is situated just up from Kamaole Beach 1, easily a 2 minute walk from front door to feet in the sand. Advice - if you are hoping to spot Turtles as much as I was, this is a great location as recommended by Keith, we saw Turtles each day we were at this beach both day and night.
Located near the beach, restaurants, bakery, gelato (necessary for those hot days spending hours in the sun), an ABC - we highly recommend the Thursday night Prime Rib deal with some garlic shrimp from the food truck a block over!
We felt right in the heart of it without being overwhelmed by crowds. The area is very peaceful and relaxed. and we are hoping to visit again in the future!
