My girlfriend and I stayed at the apartment for 5 nights during late July. Being our first trip to Maui we chose an apartment with a sea view so we could enjoy the scenery as much as possible. The view from the apartment is absolutely amazing and better than the pictures show. Sitting out on the balcony while the sun goes down is truly special.

The hosts were easily contactable through the app and responded in a timely manner, although we didn't actually meet them throughout the duration of our stay. There is a lock box to gain access to the property and two additional keys to use during our stay, which was fine with us.

The apartment is, I guess, a typical Hawaiian style with the furniture shown in the listing. It's not to everyones tastes, and our personal tastes are more modern decor, but never the less it was fine, comfortable and suited the location.

The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything you could need for eating or entertaining. The (Huge) modern oven was great for nights when we didn't eat out and the dish washer came in handy too. The apartment also has washer and drier which is great as you can pack a little lighter and wash when you need to.

Although not on the listing we found a lot of beach stuff in the apartment, such as snorkels, flippers, boogie boards, Sun umbrella and cool box... all super useful for days on the beach or road trips and the hosts provided good quality beach towels to use.

The location is very nice, a little away from the major resorts, which was a positive for us, but not too far if you wanted to visit, about 10 minutes by car. There was a small sandy area out front that didn't get busy and felt quite private. While snorkelling in the sea we came across a few sea turtles and lots of tropical fish which was really nice.

The complex seems very well maintained with grounds keepers keeping the place in order on a daily basis. There was a BBQ area on the grounds, perfect for a late meal with the sunset, and a grassed area with chairs and loungers for you to enjoy. We also had access to one parking spot for our car.

The only notes of caution would be that the there is no AC in the bedroom (a fan was provided) but it wasn't a problem for us. The apartment is comfortable size for two but might feel a little small for a family of 4 (adults) given there is only one bed (and I think a sofa bed) but still a decent size.

All in all a great apartment, we enjoyed our vacation in Maui and felt comfortable during our stay so it gets our seal of approval
