As many other reviewers already mentioned, the view was magnificent. Waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning, snorkeling at the beach less than 50 yards away, and then coming back to find sea turtles against the the sea wall is how most of my mornings started at the condo. The daily rainbows weren't bad, either... =)

As far as our hosts go, Rhett and Maria were absolutely wonderful-- responsive, patient, and thoughtful. Their communication was very thorough. For example, when I accidentally tried to enter the condo one hour earlier than check-in time (whoops! was confused by the time change!), they were very accommodating and immediately figured out the problem.

The apartment has all the essentials. The hosts provided 4 clean towels, and snorkel and beach equipment for 2-3 people. I also took advantage of the Maui guide books and binoculars at the condo, as well.

If you are coming here and for some reason need to do work remotely for an hour, read this paragraph. If you are coming to Maui to unplug and didn't even bring your laptop with you, *skip this paragraph*. The internet speed was sufficient to check email in the living room, but the speed was very slow-- too slow to stream movies or TV shows or Facetime without freezing. While most of us are on vacation, there were some days I needed to check in to do work tasks that didn't require very much bandwidth. The speed was just not up to snuff. Given that I had previously inquired about this in a private message, and Rhett and Maria responded that it worked well enough to stream movies (not my experience), I was a little disappointed.
Bottom line: This isn't a great place to do work remotely if you need internet. Would I still come back? Yes! I would just scout out locations close by that offer reliable, high speed wireless (McDonalds is up the street).

Washer and dryer--- Though it was my mistake to assume it was in the unit, something I was confused about was that the condo advertised a washer and dryer. *Point of clarification for the next tenant*-- the washer and dryers are available outside the unit for a few dollars in quarters (shared with other tenants). I selected this AirBnB over another because it advertised a washer and dryer as part of the amenities. Only after I booked it did I get instructions that said the W&D were separate, and would need quarters to run it.

Overall, I would stay here over a resort any time! I feel lucky to have gotten to stay at the condo, and would relish the chance to do so once again! I encourage you to book this place if you want to be 15 feet from the ocean, avoid resort/parking fees, star gaze, watch sea life, and have access to a private beach.
