No surprises here, and I mean that in the best way! We chose this condo based on all the great reviews and lovely pictures taken both inside and outside and were very impressed! Very clean and airy, perfect size for me, my husband and 11 year old son. Location is along a quiet stretch of beach just North of all the fancy resorts in West Maui, the condo complex is just one of dozens along this strip, and I swear it is the prettiest! Well maintained grounds, beautiful garden courtyard, and the unit truly is steps to the beach! There's a local coffee shop right across the street, next to an organic-style market with a great salad bar and deli. Good snorkeling right out your door, we even swam with BIG sea turtles! Not too deep, good for kids. There is some equipment in the unit you can use, but you also can rent snorkel, surfing and paddle-boarding equipment across the street! There are gas units in the pool area, but we preferred barbequing on real charcoal grills at the other end of the complex... better view (right on the ocean) and not as much competition for cooking. space! It was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again for sure!
