We had a fantastic stay!! The condo was exactly as advertised, the pictures and descriptions were accurate. This was our 6th visit to Maui and we have always stayed on the south side (Kihei or Wailea). This was our 3rd condo (we've done hotels as well). So we feel we do know the areas fairly well and we do have expectations. This condo far exceeded those expectations.
The place was spotless, I mean I walk around barefoot (to help keep it clean) and I don't think I felt one grain of sand.
Unlike many properties in the area, this condo was freshly updated and felt new, even though the building is not new.
The owners go above and beyond to make you comfortable and it feels like you are staying at a high end property. Everything from very nice bath towels, to extra set of clean sheets, to ample supplies of beach items (chairs, beach towels, umbrella), to a robust kitchen complete with loads of k-cups, even a welcome gift, it felt like not one thing was over looked! There were even pods under the sink for laundry, facility was just down the hall (it is not clear to us if this is always provided or someone left behind, but since it was in a container labeled laundry I’m going to assume it was provided).
Everything we used felt new, not warn down and dated like other properties.
The balcony is great for the morning cup of coffee, however I do wish I could hear the waves, but part of that is the beauty of Maui the morning waters are typically calm so even if very close to the water, the waves are not always heard. The short walk across a green area to the beach is amazing for a sunset view! We watched the sun go to bed every night from this beach.
The condo building is dated, as are most in the area. They were still working on the courtyard and would love to see it once it is done. The pool area is fairly small, we didn’t spend any time at it. Most Nights, when we walked by to go to the beach sunset, we saw the grills in use so I think it is safe to assume they work well and looked to be in good shape (gas). You can grill and watch the sunset, amazing!
We honestly didn’t spend much time in the condo, we were out and about every day, but it was super nice to come back to a clean and modern condo when we did return.
We would be honored to be back at this or one of Aaron's other properties, because we were so impressed. Thanks so much for having us! I miss Maui already!
