KOA Building: B106 studio condo
> Overall a nice set up. The studio is ample for a single person, or two people who get along and look forward to enjoying the outside a lot. Kitchen nicely stocked with appliances, large area to prep food, ample cleaning supplies and towels. GREAT mattress and bedding. Everything is very clean.
> Location couldn't be beat for visiting little downtown Lahaina within a 4-minute walk. Eateries, shopping, art, ocean side, whale watching cruises, busy night and day life. Find Dickenson street: it's the artery into center Lahaina and only a quick walk from the condo.
> The grounds have two large pools, each with cabanas, sun lounges. One is deep for kids to jump into, lap swimming, etc. the other, a saltwater pool, is shallower (~5'/6' deep at the center and 4' at ends) and a salt hot tub (yummy hot). This pool has an open lanai with a TV, cushioned bench area, open bar for private parties (arrange that with your host) and a locked public restroom with entry card provided to guests (in their condo). Lovely grounds, very well maintained, quiet. Evening swim had a community feel, where twice as many people came and went to enjoy the soft evenings. Tiki torches and stars...yesss!
> Arriving/entry: I booked through AirBNB, had communications via Elite Management and one/two short emails from my host/concierge. I was not informed (and please note) that your entry code to the keypad on your condo's door is provided to you ON the afternoon you are expected to arrive, THROUGH your emails. Also take note (and log) the telephone number of the direct host/concierge in case you have issues. Most people work seamlessly via their phones, I do not. Getting your entry code via email is the only means you'll get into your condo.
> Parking for me (w/o purchasing a week grounds parking, of which there is plenty) was awful. It was spring break (first week April) and I had to walk back from long-distance spots or pay about $20/night anyway in scattered lots here and there. I adjusted by getting in early, so I could walk back in the daylight. Lahaina is quite safe, as I learned, so by the end of my visit the spaces started opening up, or I went back to the car and moved it from 3-blocks to out-front parking. If you don't like the hassle, get the parking offered...especially during spring break/other.
> Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker, blender, microwave, under-counter fridge, dishes for three, wine glasses, drink glasses (all glass/ceramic) pots/pans, hot plate, dish/laundry/ bath soaps, good water pressure. I cooked every meal except two...saved a fortune. Some salt/pepper shakers, ice bucket and ice trays (no ice machine on grounds). Safeway is best for shopping (prices and stock); Times Grocery is an alternative.
