This condo was wonderful, and exactly something we were looking for during our stay in Maui.
Some things about this rental:
1. Nida is amazing. She's very responsive through all means of communication and is very good at resolving any issues we might encounter.
2. Nida's housekeeper is also amazing! She was very helpful, trustworthy, and accommodating for our early arrival and also allowed us to pick up our luggage after our check-out time.
3. Although you can't see the ocean directly from the lanai itself, you can see the beginnings of a sunset on the balcony. For a better view, the condo is only a short walk through the beautiful courtyard and BBQ grills with the ocean right at the front.
4. The location is a godsend. It is central to everything on the island, making drives in all directions easy and accessible.
5. The place has everything you need for your stay, including beach towels, dishes, laundry detergent, etc. Even a coffee grinder and maker for you coffee connoisseurs!
6. The place is very clean and beautifully decorated.
7. Our rental consisted of the lanai, living/dining room, kitchen, 1 bathroom, and only the curtain-enclosed bedroom, which had cutouts in the wall that allowed for better airflow overnight and warm sunrays in the morning. The other door-enclosed bedroom was rented to another person in the adjoining rental. A few minor drawbacks with this arrangement were the ability for the other person to barge in if the locks were not double locked on both sides and the thin walls/enclosure, which allowed us to hear all conversation and movements (including severe coughing, which ruined our mornings and nights). Another minor problem for us was the weak Internet signal for WiFi access. The router is in the adjoining rental, and sometimes may be problematic to connect to.
Overall, I would highly recommend this rental.
