Wade was responsive to my questions about the place and location even before we booked. We enjoyed our stay at his place - great location for the price and walking distance to beaches and markets - but had a few misunderstandings that negatively affected our experience. So we probably wouldn't book this place again.First, the place really has a partial or limited ocean view. The photos are accurate for the condo complex and the beach is steps away, but not right in front of the place. Not a big deal, but not at all what we expected from the listing. The condo itself was clean and recently remodeled - perfect size for a couple for a week - and we enjoyed cooking and relaxing there in the evenings. The other mishap was related to late checkout we had confirmed with Wade before booking our stay. At the last minute he communicated he wasn't able to accommodate this, which made our last day way more stressful than necessary. Wade did offer another place for us to stay, but we'd already rushed to make other arrangements for the day per his request.
Overall, this place is clean, comfortable, in a good location, and walkable to Kaanapali and bus distance to Lahaina. Sunsets and turtles seen from the condo complex beach were outstanding.
All in all, we had good stay overshadowed by some disappointments. And I shared this feedback with Wade in hopes that future guests will have better expectations and overall experience.
