We just came back from a week-long stay at this awesome condo. When we booked the place, there weren't any reviews yet. We were relieved to see a positive review before we headed to Maui. Let me tell you everything I loved about the place as well as the couple of small negatives that we encountered.
The location is perfect. The view is as good as the pictures in the listing. You can walk out onto the patio and thirty seconds later be snorkeling in a great location. There are two volcanic reefs that run nearly parallel to the narrow beach. They keep the waves to a minimum and the water clear, especially during low tide. During low tide, walk through a narrow gap in the reef closer to the beach and you'll see a great variety of sea life. We saw one large and one small sea turtle on the sixth day of our stay. We also saw many different types of fish and a foot-long snowflake eel. If you want an even better snorkeling location, it's a short drive to Honalua Bay or Kapalua Beach. Both sites have world-class snorkeling. We saw a sea turtle at each location. It's a five-minute walk to a large supermarket, restaurants, and a bunch of food trucks.
The amenities at the condo are excellent. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed for cooking meals and eating in the condo. There were two crock pots, a blender, coffee maker with filters, lots of pots and pans, utensils, plates, dishes, dishwasher detergent, garbage bags, a water pitcher for the fridge. We appreciated the ice maker and excellent water straight from the tap. Bring your own refillable water bottles and fill them with ice from the freezer and water from the tap. There is absolutely no need to buy water at the supermarket. There are three televisions. The one in the living room is enormous. I only remember using the television once but it was nice to have. There are five ceiling fans in the condo, including one in the bathroom. I had never seen a ceiling fan in a bathroom and thought that was amusing. There are three air conditioning units in the condo, one in each bedroom and one in the living room. They were able to cool the place down very quickly. We usually just kept the windows open during the day and had a nice breeze through the condo and only closed the windows and turned on the bedroom air conditioners at night before going to bed.
There are only two small negatives that I feel I should mention.
1. The bedroom air conditioners made a weird buzzing noise at random times. I only noticed this on the fourth or fifth night of the stay. I found that turning the air conditioner fan to the highest setting drowned out the buzzing noise and allowed me to sleep. I only reported this to Heather after our stay concluded so perhaps she can get that fixed soon.
2. The parking spot assigned to the condo is very narrow. I rented a Chevy Impala, a full-size sedan. It was a bit of a chore to park between the lines and extract my 6'4" frame from the car when the car next to ours was in its spot. I would definitely not recommend anything larger than an Impala or you're really going to struggle.
As I said earlier, these were minor issues and didn't have a major impact on our stay. We loved it here and didn't want to leave at the end of the week. From the moment you walk through the front door and see the view through the patio doors and huge windows, you'll love this place too.
