My family and I were very happy to have stayed at Howard's beautiful condo for 4 days. The ocean view was an awesome treat every morning while drinking coffee on the lanai. The place was exactly what the pictures described, and I think the space was bigger in person. I loved watching the turtles hangout and eat along the rocks off the condo. The area is quiet and private. Quality of the linens, decor, and accessories were top notch! Communication with Howard was easy & quick. He made sure to provide us with information early and often! Having AC was very nice, but the breeze from the ocean kept us cool most of the time. I would recommend having a car to get around, since places to eat are limited in Maalaea; we found ourselves going into Kihei (15-20 min drive) for dinner. For my family, Maalaea was the perfect location for our planned activities, in the middle of West & South Maui. Of the three places we stayed at, including a resort, Howard's condo was my parent's favorite!
