This is a cozy condo that offers a beautiful view of the Maui sunset. I like what another reviewer wrote: I think the best part about staying here is that it doesn't feel like a resort, and you do meet a lot of locals and fellow vacationers. I'm glad we did run into some residents, because they're the ones who told us where to spot turtles (walk north on shore on the lava rocks in the afternoon!) and how to access a sandier bottom beach from the shoreline (just one beach south). Access to those spots made a big difference in our experience at the condo, and *nothing* beats a beachside barbecue at sunset.

You can tell Michael and Natalia have put a lot of thought into making the condo feel like home -- the unit comes with supplies you might not expect to find, like a playpen for children, rubbing alcohol, cooking oils and spices, even scotch tape. They respond quickly to any questions and on-site help is never far as their property manager lives close by.

The only thing we wished we had was AC. There's only one unit downstairs so the upstairs loft bedroom got really hot at night, even with the window open. Michael and Natalia do provide many, many fans in the unit to make up for it, and I heard that the week we went was the hottest week in Maui yet that year, so we weren't the only ones complaining. ;)

All in all, a great experience and a very nice place to spend our vacation.
