OVERALL RATING: Good (4 of 5 stars)
Aside from the clogged shower drain and some cleanliness issues, the accommodations were fine. We had a great time in Maui, and hope to return next year! The view of the beach/coastline is wonderful at all times of the day -- sunsets especially. You walk right out of your patio and it is literally right there. However, this part of the beach isn't really suitable for swimming, due to the rocks and debris. Go to one of the other local beaches within 5-10 min.
We bought a few household items that we are leaving for the next occupant - bacterial wipes, bathroom cleaner, candle + lighter, detergent, and some bottled water. I left a new shower line in the bath, since the former one was quite dirty.
Suggestions for improvements:
- Bathroom and shower could use a deep cleaning and/or upgrades to address the mold and mildew. The bathroom should have been much cleaner. There was hair and debris on the floor when I arrived. The toilet had an odor we could not resolve, which I think may be mildew-related. I've suggested that the owner have a deep cleaning for this area, or ideally a full replacement since it is quite an older jetted tub/shower unit.
- I've suggested to the owner that they replace the older carpeting with tile or hardwood. I think a new, cleaner mattress pad is in order and would make it more comfortable. A larger TV would be nice also (bigger than 15").
IF the above issues were addressed, my rating would be a steller 5!!!!!
Overall, the stay was pleasant and the beach view nice! The location is also awesome, close to local shopping and restaurants (highly suggest Nalu, which is a 5 min walk from the condo and is excellent!).
