Kristie's condo is a wonderful alternative to a hotel room and offers tremendous value, but is just a bit rough around the edges. The complex is situated on beautiful grounds, with a central lawn and pool area in the center. The complex is smaller and more intimate than the larger complexes, and you really feel a sense of community as you interact with the full time residents and other travelers. The pool and spa are A+ and the cabana includes two BBQs and multiple tables.
We are a family with two young children under the age of seven and booked Kristie's condo for one month. The booking process was not smooth. Kristie was very hard to get a hold of, and we understand her property manager now helps with communication. The unit itself appears to be a former two bedroom that has been converted into a one bedroom, so the bedroom is very large (note, it does not have a door). There is also a huge walk in closet. The unit contains a washer and dryer, which is a plus as most units here have to use the coin operated laundry on site. Again, we were staying for a month in a work from home situation, so keep that in mind.
The unit is acceptable, just realize it is in need of a little TLC. The baseboard near the dishwasher shows signs of water damage (we had this repainted), there was an exposed wire coming out of an outlet (we had this repaired), the lights in the living room didn't work (the property manager provided a lamp), there was not enough cutlery or pots/pans (property manager provided some and we bought others). The shower was ok, but really needs a deep deep scrub, grout cleaning, and possibly a renovation. Depends on your acceptance level really. There was plenty of storage (dressers, closet space). The internet service was a huge requirement for us, since we were working from home. There was an outage (out of Kristie's control) but I just got the sense that the router needs to be replaced, the internet would go out a few times a day and that was really frustrating.
Again, we were living here for a month, so our level of requirements could be different than a weeks stay.
The condo is really close to the beach, which is a huge plus. Note, this beach is very nice, but it is nowhere near as nice as Napili Bay or Kapalua Bay (50 min drive). Consequently, you will pay way more to be closer to those beaches.
After our months stay, we moved out of this unit into another 1 bedroom in the same complex, so we have discovered what a bit more attention can do to a unit and our experience. More reliable internet, and the screen door slides effortlessly!
