My wife and I really enjoyed this condo for the week we spent in Maui. The value is great, and the location is fantastic, giving you central access to travel all over the island. Some of the amenities provided were GREATLY appreciated (umbrella, chairs, beach bag, cooler, etc), and having a full kitchen where we could make meals saved us a ton of money instead of eating out all the time. While the lanai doesn't really have much of a "beach view," you can walk to the water in about 2 minutes over the long grass lawn, which we did quite often. I read other reviews that there was some kind of "smell" in the condo, but we experienced no such issue. The AC worked very well and kept us nice and cool while indoors. My only 2 issues with the space is 1) that the bathroom is a bit small (understandable for such a small condo) and the bathroom door opens directly into the vanity space which makes getting ready in the mornings a bit tricky (not a show-stopper, but a little annoying at times), and 2) the mattress is quite firm and I woke up a bit uncomfortable on occasion. That being said, I still would highly recommend this location to friends and family, and when we come back to Maui we know where we will be staying! Mahalo!
