This is a well cared for unit. The owner was either onsite or available by phone to help us out. It is somewhat confusing to access the unit for the first time, and important to have a way-finding map. We had no car for a good part of our stay, and the bike ride uphill was a challenge -- but for active riders, it would be a welcome start to the day. Being an upcountry location, there is beautiful gentle rain on occasion, and the temperature consistently cools off in the evening. Neither Air conditioning nor heating were needed.
There are dogs everywhere in this community, and there are free-range chickens all over the island. Expect an early wakeup call from either of these, or close the windows and wear earplugs. For these wakeup calls, I have come to accept them as my welcome to Hawaii.
The Pukalani pool is excellent, but now regrettably closed for 4 months for renovations.
The unit is clean, and stove, refrigerator, and laundry facilities are great. The WiFi is excellent and consistent. As described in previous reviews, the sectional sofa is not as comfortable for sleeping as it appears, but the duvet in the unit is helpful to alleviate the bumps. The patio (lanai) at the back has a garden view, and is a great asset.
This unit is good value, is in a safe community, and facilitates living as a local on Maui.
