We really enjoyed the first half of our honeymoon at Steve and Jackie's place! Everything was super clean and updated with modern renovations. Plenty of things that you would need such as regular towels, beach towels, beach items like chairs, umbrella, mat, snorkel stuff, cooler, etc. so it was really nice to have access to all of it so no need to rent elsewhere as well as a full kitchen so you can stop at Costco or another grocery story like Safeway to pick up a few things or store your leftovers.
We ran into an issue with a few half alive/dead bugs showing up in the unit when we were out one day (a few are common in Maui I found, similar to other tropical climates/places), but it ended up being more than a few later on in the day so I messaged Steve letting him know. Responsiveness was much appreciated despite the 2 hr time difference, and he told me he had reached out to the pest control company; however, it was over the Thanksgiving holiday so he had not heard back yet. Steve chatted with me later on the phone and provided me options. We said we'd keep each other posted on the next day.
Steve got back to me less than an hour later saying that he had gotten in touch with his contractor & cleaners and arranged for us to stay 2 nights in another unit while our unit got looked at. That was much appreciated and a reflection of being a superb host. There is a reason he is a superhost. He took it seriously, addressed the situation, and provided solutions/options. We came back 2 nights later to finish out our stay, and it was completely bug free! It was definitely wasn't a cleanliness issue because the place was immaculately clean. I would hire these cleaners if I lived here and for my own place.
My guess is that someone had sprayed inside a nearby unit which led to the bugs fleeing from that unit and getting into our unit. Steve had told me his contractor was able to find some small openings that they patched up and fixed. It definitely made us much more comfortable and were able to relax again.
It has a great view of the ocean from the patio in an excellent location that can access west side Lahaina and further south like Kihei area as well as central/airport Kahului and Paia/upcountry without too far of a drive. It was either couples or families staying in the area, and the beach wasn't crowded and had great sunset views. If you enjoy snorkeling, I'd recommend the Pacific Whole snorkeling tour. Many other snorkeling tours leave from Maalaea Harbor as well, so you can just walk over!
Overall, I'd highly recommend staying here! This was a great first trip to Maui, and I'd stay here again. We're at our resort in Lahaina now and miss the nicer amenities and feel of this condo. Google assistant, smart TVs, updated renovations, etc are a really nice perk :) hope this helps when you're browsing for a condo on here. Thanks again, Steve!
