A few notes from a newbie to Airbnb and Maui:
Complex is about 45 minutes from OGG airport, a nice but sometimes slow drive along the coast in parts and with a few stop-offs along the way. Check in was a breeze and the walk to the unit took us through the complex which includes two pools/hot tubs and two sizeable putting greens. There is an elevator to get to the third floor.
Upon entering the unit we noted a few things: it was very warm in the unit due to leaving the blinds open and a/c unit off in order to see the amazing view, and shortly thereafter the (lack of) cleanliness overall in the unit. I won't get into many details other than to say we are travelers that care about the cleanliness of where we are staying, and the unit did not meet expectations. We cleaned as much as we could with the limited supplies and noted it to Bev & Mike. We did not desire having housekeeping come in during our stay, so we did not provide specifics to Bev & Mike at the time. The next day we were advised that a maintenance person would be showing up at some point that afternoon to fix the ice maker. We immediately asked for that to be delayed until we were checked out, which thankfully Bev & Mike handled quickly. All of this is to say that we addressed the issues with the cleanliness when we were home which were acknowledged. Overall, the communication with Bev & Mike was great prior to, during, and after the stay. I have no doubt they would have attempted to address the cleanliness immediately had we asked. Last point: other than some dirty towels, the unit was no doubt cleaner when we left than when we arrived.
Now, to the view: Absolutely 5-stars. We would spend a lot of time during the mornings and evenings just sitting outside listening to the waves crashing into the seawall which seemed like it was about 20 feet out from the building. The first night the sunset was A+ and even though the next night was overcast and rainy, we still were able to enjoy.
The complex itself was just off of a main road and amongst other complexes of similar nature. Several coffee shops and an ABC store are within a short walk, and I was able to go on a nice run along the road leading to the complexes one morning. Whaler's village is about a 5 minute drive if you want a few nice restaurant and shopping choices. If you are a golfer, the Kapalua courses are about 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Make a point to play if you can.
Overall, if we were able to confirm the unit was cleaner than it was when we stayed, we would consider staying here again. If you do not prioritize cleanliness where you are staying (no judgements, we know we are pickier than most), the view and location are top notch. Bev & Mike are good hosts and we appreciate the communication.
