Angela's place is pretty awesome and had plenty of space for 5 of us. We had a great time there. There are a lot of pros of staying there and there are some cons (which I was aware of and does not have anything to do with Angela). I would recommend this place to anyone to stay.
Pros
- Angela is extremely responsive and willing to help with anything, I have asked Angela how to correctly have AC on as our AC felt like a fan. She responded very quickly and even showed a picture to help and even offered to come check it out as I don't feel like a big issues so I declined.
- Plenty of free parking ( a big deal in Hawaii since hotels charges up to $65 for over night parking)
- Living room is very spacious with huge TV and some board game to have fun.
- Kitchen has everything you will need during your stay.
- Laundry is a plus in the room (Vacationing in Hawaii will likely need to change a lot of clothes due to water activities so laundry is super helpful and you don't want to bring wet clothes back in luggage).
- The complex is beautiful and walking from parking to the condo feels like you are walking in some sort of garden, amazing feeling.
- Really close to some restaurant and Shave ice Ululani (must try).
- This place has indoor and balcony outdoor dining area which truly felt amazing. We didn't cook but we bought take out and ate at home rather than at restaurant due to this amazing feeling.
- Kihei beaches feel more quiet and relaxing rather than full of tourists like Kaanapali.
- These beds truly feel likes good beds to sleep on rather than some cheap beds that some airbnb places offer.
- Upstairs has a walk in closet which I didn't need but it was nice.
- Upstairs is more like a loft area rather than a room. So, there technically 2 rooms downstairs and a loft. There is a king bed upstairs but does not have a door so no privacy. It was just more like open space to sleep. I honestly kind of like it but it may be a bit odd for some.
- There are beach chairs, snorkeling gear and other stuff on the balcony area which can be used.
Cons- (once again, this is not in anyway saying negatively as I don't believe this is Angela's fault)
- Most of our activities (parasailing, snorkeling, Luaus, ATV tours) are close to Kaanapali or Lahaina so it was 40 mins drive from Kihei which we felt like waste of time driving back and forth to shower. (we were aware of the distance prior to booking)
- Parking lot to the condo is a bit far within the complex. For example, if you buy like a case of water and it will feel like walking distance is far to get to the room. Though every other time feels magical. Just stating this to be aware of if there is an older person staying.
- The AC feels more like a fan than AC. I am no expert but these units either needs to be replaced or cleaned or something. (Angela offered to come check it out which I declined).
Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Angela's spacious space and Angela was amazing as well. We would recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Maui. Thank you Angela for letting us stay and being truly an amazing host.
