AMAZING location! The photos don’t do justice to how close the ocean actually is from the back porch of the unit. Very small condo community of what seemed to be mostly vacationers, so the common area (grass field, BBQs, tables, pool/hot tub) right outside the unit will be busy and you will most likely be able to hear your neighbors sometimes while in your unit (so if you want total privacy, quiet, or solitude with your ocean view, this is not the location for you). The My Perfect Stays team was extremely attentive/communicative during our whole stay—they were even super quick to respond when we reached out because the unit’s power was out upon waking up one of the mornings (turned out that the ENTIRE island of Maui was having power issues that morning!). I personally prefer Airbnb’s that are managed by a company rather than an individual, and My Perfect Stays reconfirmed why!
A quick note about the AC: as many of these reviews have stated, there truly is no AC in the unit—just a number of fans and a few windows. I thought that I wouldn’t mind, but it was honestly the most uncomfortable part of our stay. The main drawback to not having AC was that there was no place to retreat from the heat/humidity at the end of full days spent primarily outside in said heat and humidity. The fans definitely helped, but if I were to go back to Hawaii with a similar, outdoor itinerary, I think I’d have to stay somewhere with AC. I guess what I’m trying to say is to give a little extra consideration to how comfortable you think you would/wouldn’t be without air conditioning to come home to after a long day of fun in the sun! I will say, though, for this being our first trip to Hawaii, the views from the unit just about made up for being generally hot/warm all the time!
