The condo is spotless and all the appliances are updated and modern. The place has been updated nicely. The trade winds and all the windows provided a nice cross breeze, so we didn’t need to use the A/C. The view is stunning from a the windows perfect for whale watching during that time of year.
The condo is located in Kahana not Lahaina. This condo is perfect for couples but not super family friendly. The listing has a long list of rules and posted warnings about charges if there is sand in the unit and damage to garbage disposal due to utensil falling in or bones, and well as particular requirement for cleaning appliances otherwise a fee will be added, etc. The check out instructions included "leaving the place cleaner than you found it". There is a cleaning fee charged but it felt like the renters had to do most of the cleaning. It was sometimes hard to relax thinking I was going to be charged for some infraction or if I did not clean correctly or if my toddler spilt something. Also the listing charges separately for parking ($10 per day)in front of the building but we were told by the resort that parking is free and it was the first they heard of someone charging for parking.
The pool is large perfect for distancing during COVID and heated, so perfect for little children. There is no direct beach access in front of the resort. You need to walk along side the large sandbags about 200 yards to get the the beach. The s-turns beach is about 1/4 mile further down. Beaches are all walkable but the resort is not beach front.
I would recommend this condo for couples and/or retired couples looking for a view and pool time in a clean place while in Maui.
Communication between the manager was timely.
