All in all, you really can't beat the view from this unit. It was amazing. When they say it's right on the water, that's not a lie. You walk right out to the balcony and you're literally ON the beach. It was soooooooooooo peaceful and quiet. We spent every night out here. So I totally understand the good reviews here, but the unit itself had some things to note:
1. It's not that modern inside—it's a little outdated and some worn-in furniture.
2. Microwave was broken when we came, pots they provided were a little gross, and the ice machine on the fridge was a little dirty.
3. Checking in is a little confusing because while it's free parking, you have to register your car. However, there was no paper in the unit explaining what to do and when I reached out on Airbnb I didn't get a response until over a day later...saying they have to check back in...and they never did. So we wanted to ask the front desk but they close at 5 PM. And we landed...much later. So a heads up if this happens to any other guests—you'll have to wait until the next day for the office to open and then ask them how to register your car (if you're renting).
However, it really is a great location (right in Lahaina). There's some food trucks walking distance and just a short drive (like 4-5 min) from the big plazas. It was quiet, AC worked, and getting INTO the unit was a breeze.
It is pricey but it may just be because 1) this is Maui and 2) it's right on the beach. Like I said, that alone almost made the price worth it...but I won't lie that some of the issues above weren't the best experience for us.
