Carolyn's appartment is in a great location. We saw many stores and restaurants (Dolphin plaza) in closest vicinity down the street. There is a good rated surfing school (google Maui Beach Boys) and the Kihei airport is 25min by car.
Although we did not meet Carolyn in person (we knew that before), the check-in was easy as Carolyn kindly provided all information (we recommend not to use the google directions which led us to another resort, our mistake.. just follow Carolyns descriptions and use Dolphin Plaza as your landmarl!). The managing couple of the other appartments gave us a warm welcome and knew how we had to proceed. As we arrived in the morning Carolyn sent us the mobile number of the housekeeper who is very friendly and respondible, so we could drop off our luggage while he cleaned everything.
Pros: The appartment was as described and depicted, clean and comfy and lovely arranged. Since we were on tour around the island all day we only slept, showered, did laundry and cooked in the appartment which was a pleasure. Many towels, beach equipment (unfortunately we did not notice the depicted surfboard at the lanai ceiling), nicely equipped kitchen (but bring everything except salt&pepper), soap, WiFi, effective A/C and ceiling fans, good location for beaches and natural sightseeing all over the island, island information in the appartment and at the manager's desk.
Small cons: the A/C is heating the already hot lanai, so having your meal there while cooling the bedroom/living room isn't a pleasure. Similar to others we did not appreciate to sleep beneath a window that cannot be darkened appropriately. During our stay the resort wasn't crowded but in high season I could imagine it will get loud.
Alltogether we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Carolyn as your host. Mahalo :)
