PROS:
- location! This condo has a beautiful partial ocean view on the far right corner of the large outdoor lanai (balcony). 5 min walk to the beach. 30 min. Driving distance to Maui ocean center which I strongly recommend if traveling with a toddler like we were. 40-45 minutes to Lahaina and Kaanapali beaches. Definitely rent a car.
- resort amenities: Maui Hill is a resort community with a wonderful pool/hot tub. On several occasions we had the pool to ourselves! They also have events throughout the week like an ice cream social that you are welcome to attend. They rent out cribs and are very family friendly. Todd already has a pack n’ play and high chair inside the condo for small children to use so that was a plus! Todd also supplies beach gear and toys so you’re set for a day at the beach!
-full kitchen: the fridge was large and easily fit all of our shopping from Costco. We cooked every day at least one meal so having a fully stocked kitchen was great. There was enough coffee for two cups so we bought more.
CONS:
- washer/dryer need a little love. The machines are not old just heavily used and it was so difficult to get that moldy/sweat smell off of our clothes and towels. I did so many loads for our towels to smell clean and that’s unfortunate because when you use Airbnb, the guest pays a pretty penny for cleaning services. I understand Hawaii is humid but just for context, we had no issues with the washer and dryer we used at our condo in Oahu. It was clean and did not smell at all.
Overall good stay, we had a blast in Maui! Catch the sunsets at the beach every night if you can.
