Although I'm thankful for Liz/Chuck letting us stay in your lovely condo we were shocked at how unwelcome we were made to feel on our first night. I am 54 years old, my husband is 47 and we didn't come to Maui to party, we came for great adventures with our our friends that were staying in another condo. In fact were were so tired from our daily adventures we were in bed by 9pm every night.
On our very first night we can back to the condo at 7:30pm (after sunset swim) to cook dinner and go to bed as it was a long day of travel and getting set up. My husband was downstairs barbequing our dinner and our friend staying in another condo came over to help us figure out the A/C as it wasn't working. Almost immediately 7:41pm the psychotic spinster lady who lives downstairs accosted my husband asking him if he is with us and told us to quite down. Then Chuck the host confronted my husband asking if there was some kind of problem as well which was odd as were were not breaking any rules nor did anything wrong. The rules state quiet time is 10pm-8am and no one should of said one word to us until then. We ended up leaving a day early as we were walking on eggshells the entire time and the lady downstairs was spying on us the entire time. We could see her get up every morning spy on us and condos around the area which isn't her business. I've been a property manage in San Diego for 25 years and you shouldn't live in a large condo complex if you want 100% quiet. With the hell you have to go through just to go to Hawaii these days I totally missed the part where you have to pay for the A/C. If they are going to require people not to make no noise what so ever then they might want to include the A/C for free as we felt as we had to keep all windows shut the entire time as we didn't want any trouble as the lady downstairs is super crazy. I'm not trying to be insensitive to mental illness as it is nothing to joke about but I hope she gets help as she is putting it onto innocent people. We worked insanely hard to afford our trip just to be treated awful by the neighbor and the host Chuck. I ended up calling the local police department and went into the condo office to double check their rules and local laws. They both said if we are harassed again to call them to deal with the neighbor. The condo complex is strict on the 10pm-8am noise rules but we liked that as again we were so exhausted by the end of each day all we wanted to do is make dinner and go to bed.
I can't write a totally bad review as the condo was perfect and very nice, Liz is so super sweet and attentive when we needed to pay and get the A/C remotes. The plus side: Condo very nice, clean and fully equipped with everything you would need on vacation. I was so thrilled this included snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc.
I would recommend renting this unit to anyone who is super quiet, not in Hawaii to party, but no children for sure as they lady downstairs will loose it on you and who pays a small fortune to go on vacation to be harassed.
As I wrote to Liz/Chuck they need to set the rules and only enforce them is someone is actually breaking them, not just joyful and having fun on vacation. The TV's could use an upgrade to smart TV's as we wanted to watch movies at night but couldn't as the TV's are very basic. I know you don't go on vacation to watch TV but again we were so tired we just wanted to veg out every night.
