First of all the location is perfect! If you’re willing to walk, there are a ton of places nearby. I was 25 weeks pregnant at the time, so walking far was a big no haha! All of our favorite places happened to be in the same area; Lava Rock Bar, Three’s, Kihei Caffe, to name a few.
As for the unit, the pictures are totally up to date and they provide everything you need! The kitchen has all the utensils and cooking gadgets you’ll need if you’re looking to cook. They even provide beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, a cooler, and aloe for your beach days. We were very satisfied once we were in the unit. Only thing we didn’t like was the shower. It could have been more powerful since most days we were covered in sand. It did the job though.
Parking here is a major downside. If you plan to use your car often, just know you’re going to lose your spot. There are two parking lots; one close to an elevator that leads to the unit but only holds about 15 cars, and another larger lot in the back that’s kind of a further walk to the unit. So if you’re planning to stay for a while like we did (a week) and have luggage, it’s kind of a hassle to get to the unit from the further lot. There isn’t an elevator so you’ll literally have to carry all your things up 3 flights of stairs and then down two mini flights. If you’re traveling light, then it’s not a big deal!
Overall, it’s a great place to stay just based on the location alone!
