We had an awesome time staying at Jay’s place. Condo was beautifully decorated and was full of amenities, especially in bathroom & kitchen. There was a wide selection of shampoo, conditioners & body wash in the bathroom and plenty of extra towels & beach towels. Kitchen was equipped with all sorts of appliances (2 microwaves, coffee maker, tea maker, blender, toaster, dishwasher, refrigerator and others which we didn’t use). There were enough cookware, cutlery, cooking oil and basic spices that we didn’t need to make grocery run for those items. Biggest help for us was in-unit washer and dryer. Beach chairs, kids’ noodles, body boards and other beach items were also provided. Basically, all your daily household requirements were met here. We enjoyed our daily morning tea in the beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean – that experience was one of our best memories of the stay.
Building itself is quite nice – it has ample parking spaces, nicely maintained & clean pool and barbeque area, carts to carry luggage to your room. There are many chairs to lounge on while enjoying sunset on the beach which is just on the property. Please note though that beach is not really for swimming, but we had a great time in pool and taking evening strolls on the beach. Front desk staff is also very helpful and attentive. There is a gas station, McDonald’s, a small grocery shop and a beach gear rental shop just across the road from the building, which was very convenient. A big Safeway store is just 10 mins away. In short, location was quite good within Kahana/Kaanapali area.
Jay was also a very attentive and prompt host. We didn’t need to contact him often but whenever we messaged him, he replied very quickly. After we checked out of the place, we had a misunderstanding where I thought I had left my wallet at in-unit locker. Jay again was very prompt in his response – he quickly coordinated with the house cleaner and eventually his manager Casey drove to the place to check. Luckily, it turned out to be a false alarm and my wallet was not there, but Jay’s promptness and keeping us continually updated put our mind at ease. Thanks Jay so much for your efforts. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a piece of paradise in Maui.
