We had an incredible time here. We HIGHLY recommend this spot! A summary is below:
THE PROPERTY:
This resort is a property that's a combination of a public resort and privately-owned units. This Air BnB is one of the privately owned units. The resort is gorgeous; one of the few times where the photos don't do this place justice. It has an on-site convenience store, a second gift shop, spa, salon, and substantial gym (substantial for a hotel). There are two pools, two hot tubs, and a bar/restaurant between them. Surrounding the pool is a really nice Koi pond and stream. There's a beachfront boardwalk that's a great location for watching the sun set.
WORKING WITH CIMI:
Cimi was AMAZING!! She was so responsive to our communication and really friendly. She always responded within a couple of moments.... I literally don't think we ever had to wait more than 5 minutes to get a response from her.
THE UNIT:
It is as advertised. It's a full-kitchen studio. Even though it's not "ocean-front", there is a solid view of the ocean from the patio. Cimi provides a nice spice rack for cooking as well as extra laundry soap (for the on-site laundry). The unit is in excellent shape as well; no damage.
THE LOCATION:
You're right in the heart of Kaanapali. You're a 5 minute drive Southbound from the main beaches, Kaanapali boardwalk, and Whaler's Village mall. You're a 10 minute drive southbound to the Old Town Lahaina strip of restaurants, stores, and bars. You're a 10 minute drive Northbound from world-class snorkeling at Honolua Bay, or Slaughterhouse beach (a secluded beach).
