Steven is an awesome host. He is very responsive - answering questions quickly and he even let us access the condo an hour earlier than normal check in.
The condo location is great - walking distance to beaches, restaurants, and shops. Also easy access to the highway in order to go out exploring Maui.
Steven provides beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers. This makes going to the beach quite easy.
I visited Maui in Sept and it was (according to the locals) one of the hottest summers they have had. Also the trade winds have not been as prominent. It was over 90 degrees F everyday. The condo does have a window unit that cools the living room and kitchen but the layout of the condo does not allow for the cooler air to get to the bedroom. We used two fans (which are inside the condo) and a ceiling fan while sleeping in the bedroom but it was still hot so it was difficult to sleep well. I do not think this is a major problem in other months when it is cooler. Also, if the the trade winds had been blowing, the condo could have been opened to allow for air to flow through.
Overall, the condo was nice, it is in a fantastic location, and the value of the rental was great.
