Let's start with the good:) The location is PERFECT. If you're planning a trip to Maui, I highly suggest staying in this area. We were so close to everything we wanted to do. There's a coffee shop and general store right across the street that we went to most days. The condo is on the beach so you are able to just walk downstairs and plop yourself on the beach, which was perfect when we didn't have time to drive somewhere. Apparently the beach isn't always there at this condo so we were fortunate it was available! There's only a few feet of sand though, not like a huge Sandy beach. The condo is easy to get to and has lots of parking. Theres also beach chairs and a beach umbrella that were SUPER useful! The owner is very nice and easy to communicate with. When you book the condo, he sends a huge list of recommendations.
Now the bad... we're a little confused at all the amazing reviews. It's not that this place is terrible, but it's equivalent to a 3 star hotel. The building is old. There is grime around the bathroom. It seemed clean enough but really needs a good scrub down. The cooler that's available to use was dirty. The washer is SO moldy. My husband washed his clothes but I swear i could smell the mold on his clothes and refused to use it, which was a huge disappointment because the washer was one of the reasons we booked this place and I was counting on using it (I had to hand wash my clothes). Lastly, there is a bug problem. No need to lie about it, I see another reveiwer said the same thing. It's just an old building that has little roaches. Every morning when we woke up, and every afternoon when we got back to the condo from a day of exploring, little roaches scattered. Ray sent his housekeeper to take care of it but all she did was put 3 little bug catchers on the ground. A few houes later I literally saw a bug crawl out. The owner said it isn't typical (which we don't believe) but was very apologetic about it and responded immediately to all my concerns about it. I understand we're on a tropical island but we've stayed at 4 places during our 11 day trip and this was the only place that had bugs inside.
