Perspective: traveling with a toddler
Overall: would recommend IF improvement made to safety issue of the door lock. The front door is extremely easy to open and our 2 year old managed to open it our first day! (Keypad on the outside/easy turn bolt on the inside, but knob does NOT require turning and the door just pushes/pulls open). It is also really quiet so this was really alarming to us. We ended up renting a baby gate to block off areas so that if we turned our backs for a moment we didn’t have to worry about him escaping. Otherwise, easy to kid proof and not a lot of breakable stuff that we had to worry about so that was a huge plus!
Pros: overall clean (could use a deep cleaning under sofa/baseboards, but generally well cleaned!), amazingly stocked kitchen (salt and pepper, various oils, AND a fully stocked spice rack on top of Folgers coffee and sugar). Hosts are really communicative and kind and obviously care about their space! Complex itself is really pretty and well maintained.
Location is just ok- there are not full sidewalks in this end of Kihei, so you can’t easily walk to the main drag with a stroller. We attempted and it definitely didn’t feel safe, so ended up having to drive and then get out to walk. Not a biggie but if you prefer walking on vacay then I would probably choose a closer spot.
Cons: floors felt like they hadn’t had a good mopping in a while and our feet felt gross from day 1 despite leaving shoes out the door. It would be great if a mop was available (there’s just a broom). Location not the best(see above). There’s also not a dining table (just a bar with stools) so not great with little kids (we did a lot of meals picnic style).
