Great location, but condo and host's attitude both disappoint.
If all you want is beach access across the street, this is a good choice. There are 3 beach coves within walking distance, and the host provided ample beach gear - a nice touch.
However, in terms of the actual condo, there is a lot to be desired; as seasoned travelers, this has been our most disappointing Airbnb experience thus far.
While the photos depict a nice, clean and modern space, the reality is that the photos are misleading. The condo is situated in the aging Maui Banyan property. Of the two pools celebrated in the listing, one was out of order and the other noisy, crowded and very unlike what you would expect of a resort property.
If you are traveling with luggage, know that the condo, although on the first floor, requires two sets of stairs and a trek along a long hallway.
The host was unresponsive; we contacted him on the day of check-in, and have never heard back.
Upon arrival, the condo seemed to have been cleaned half-hazardly. While a detergent scent lingered, upon closer inspection, the counters had crumbs lining the corners. The fridge was barely cleaned from the previous guests, and the floors had dust bunnies in the corners.
A bare minimum of one roll of paper towel was provided, with the warning that the guest was responsible to buy more. The toiletries were not personal sized, but rather opened, previously used family-size bottles.
The bed was old and sagging, and the towels/linens showed some stains and their age from what we assume is prolonged use.
Additionally, the host "requires" guests to do a load of laundry for him, lest they incur additional cleaning fees - and that's after charging us a $130 cleaning fee on the listing!!!
We don't understand how this host possibly has so many positive reviews, given his attitude to nickel-and-dime his guests.
