My husband and I just stayed at Jim & Judy's condo less than 2 weeks ago. This is the first time we have used airbnb and rented a condo during a vacation. I would say we had a great experience at this condo. The condo really has the stunning view shown in the photos and was well-stocked with everything we would want-beach towels, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, boogie board, cooler, full kitchenware and all appliances, 2 TVs, books, a binder with FAQs and local recommendations, etc. We did not use the tennis courts but there were even tennis rackets stocked. The property did not have the easiest access to the beach itself that we saw but we had a rental car and drove to Kaanapali Beach which was a very easy drive. We did not travel during the winter but I'm sure if we did it would have been easy to see whales right from the lanai as previous reviewers wrote. The condo was conveniently located, easy and free parking, private, and clean. There is one AC unit in the bedroom which worked very nicely and helped us sleep soundly every night. The main room can get warm from the sunlight but we also did not keep the lanai door open because we didn't want bugs getting in the condo. We did see a few on the first 2 days (and one gecko) but I can only imagine that was because the previous guests and/or the cleaning service may have had the lanai opened for extended amounts of time prior to our arrival. The condo complex is well maintained and an easy drive to local shopping centers for dining, supermarkets, drugstores, etc. We did not use the BBQ grills and pool at the condo but it is nice that those were available as well.

I contacted Jim & Judy a few times through airbnb's site and would always receive extremely quick responses. I never needed these but Jim & Judy also did provide a cell phone number and a private email address which I appreciated. You can tell they really take pride in their condo and want guests to feel comfortable and have a great experience during their stay. I would recommend this condo and this is coming from someone who again has never done a condo rental before. Maui hotels can be very pricey and don't include full kitchens, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, parking, etc without tacking on more costs/resort fees. Jim & Judy also provide free wifi at their condo.
