My wife and I returned to Maui for my 40th birthday party this month and used Gary's condo as our home for the week. Check in was smooth and the unit was just as they described. Gary was kind enough to leave us a little welcoming note along with some sunscreen and lotion to help us enjoy our time. The unit was good sized for the two of us, and the furnishings were very comfortable. The one thing that I felt was missing from a kitchen that says it has all the essentials was coffee. Being that we were flying for most of the day, we hurriedly ran over to the grocery store that's conveniently located across the street to grab some before they closed so we could have coffee in the morning (glad we checked!), especially since the resort itself doesn't have a restaurant or anywhere to eat on-site. (There is a coffee place next door to the grocery store across the street, but I prefer to have a cup sitting and listening to the waves come in on the beach).
My wife and I are early risers and were out the door before sunrise to start the day with running, snorkeling, or driving to other parts of the island for adventure, which meant we would often come back to the condo for an afternoon nap. The thing I was the most disappointed about the location of Gary's condo is that the trash room for the building is located right outside the bedroom windows. So anytime anyone wanted to throw something away (in addition to the numerous trips from housekeeping to throw things away), it was rather noisy during the day.
Our last full day at the condo, my wife and I returned from a snorkeling trip to find there was no water in the unit at all. I called Gary and he said that the building was doing maintenance and that we should have been notified. I called the front desk and they said they put signs up by the stairwell and pool, but since its a first-floor unit and we didn't use the pools we never saw them. Nor did we see signs when we went to look for them afterward. From 6 am till after 4 pm we had no water and couldn't shower or even pour a glass to drink. Gary did text us back to make sure it was turned back on, and we indicated that it was.
All-in-all, my wife and I had an incredible trip to Maui, and Gary's place served its purpose as a place for us to sleep while we went out and explored the island. We did appreciate the welcome packet and the guide book, which included several of the excursions we ended up booking.
