The view from this condo is worth five stars alone. You really can't ask for a better spot to enjoy the sunsets of Maui. But even the mornings are spectacular, with rainbows over the ocean, sea turtles floating about and people frolicking in the waves... it's very relaxing and entertaining.
The condo was very well appointed, with everything needed to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and all the utensils, etc. needed. The Hawaiian music in the CD player was a lovely touch (I still have the songs in my head), and the bed was very comfy with nice linens. The closet is full of beach equipment and the WiFi was strong and stable. The owners clearly take pride in their property and want their guests to have a memorable experience.
The only downside was that it was very hot while we were there and quite uncomfortable without AC (we knew this going in, but it was warmer than expected). There are plenty of fans provided, but they didn't offer quite enough relief, mainly in the bedroom, which is an interior room with a window that faces the building hallway.
The beach directly in front of the condo is in the middle of an erosion-protection project so there are sandbags all along the waterfront. It's not a big deal but the beach is pretty small (though it is beautiful and quiet). We found the pool disappointing - it's small and set back from the ocean, but it serves the purpose for a quick dip.
However, those are personal preferences, and the condo makes up for it with the view and location. It's right in the middle of so many activities - Lahaina and Kaanapali to the South, Kapalua and many other adventures to the North. There's a shopping area across the street with Maui Brewing Co., a coffee shop, small grocery store, and other shops. And there are several casual restaurants (and countless beaches) within a short walk or drive.
Most other residents and guests of the complex were respectful of COVID protocol and wore masks. And the surrounding areas were very safe to walk even after dark.
We were grateful for this serene and beautiful place to rejuvenate during our week-long vacation in Maui. Mahalo.
