Hello everyone. I will try to address some main points with this place as short as I can. We stayed here for almost 2 weeks so we had some time to see the whole picture
The good :
Place is located real close to the beach, Unit has everything you need to stay, it is relatively inexpensive
The bad :
Communication with the property manager is terrible. You can see that he/she reads the messages but seldom responds, or responds with this one liners that are strange. Communication with the owner is little better as far as time frame for response but overall attitude if you do have a concern, is really poor and unprofessional ( will explain later )
Bugs - please look at the other comments before you rent. By that I mean some other than 5 star ones. This place does have issue with some small bugs and it appears to me that owner is not doing enough to resolve it. If you leave food on the kitchen counter for more than 5 minutes - here they come. They are some super tiny ants or roaches but never the less they are there. We didn't bother complaining because we got the attitude when we expressed AC concerns, so we figured we are stuck with this issue. We simply didn't cook in the unit but I assume if we did it would be a disaster. Again, other users have complained
Air Conditioner - This place has 2 window units and the one in the master bedroom does not work properly. We made several complaints and property maintenance came in and acknowledged it is not working properly. Then the owner got involved and this is where it gets bad - He basically tells us that nights are cool with the window open, if you don't like it we will get you money back and go somewhere else. And that is his answer I have the message to post if it gets challenged. So basically if you want to sleep during the day, you are out of luck. I think this is very unprofessional. Again, other people complained about AC, please read other reviews. One more time the second unit started to make some strange noise and again owner was really short and not interested to assure the comfort. He tells you that's the way it is, get out if you don't like it. He also told me I don't have experience with window units as I only know central AC. Our concern with the noise making AC unit was for safety purpose.
Noise - this whole apartment complex is very loud as its full of party people. I guess if you are one of them its okay but if you came to enjoy the beach and go to bed early just know that noise goes way past 10PM
Size of the unit. This may be relative to the renter but I do feel like place is very tiny. I think this is either for one person maybe a couple and that's it. We came with a toddler and really felt the crunch.
Lastly, they have this strict policy about the sand and we did followed it to the bone. My wife is a clean freak so we left the shoes outside, cleaned, vacuumed but I feel like it adds pressure. You have the condo on the beach. Some sand is to be expected as it is impossible to remove it completely after the beach
Conclusion
This place is defiantly for someone that wants to do Maui on the budget. Customer service and owner attitude is what makes this place really undesirable. If you are in the business of vacation rentals then respect your customers and show some hosting skills. We go to Maui every year, we wont be back here.
