Ivy's Place was just what we were looking for! Michael is a great host and Kelly (who lives local in Maui) is the BEST.
We were greeted by entering the condo with Tradewinds blowing through, a sweet welcome note on the table along with some aloha treats :) and the most incredible view of Molokai and the beautiful ocean. We immediately felt at home.
The condo is so well equipped with everything needed for cooking, filtered water (we bought water before realizing there was filtered water - there was no need other than the water we like to keep in the car to refill our bottles when we are out and about), comfy seating, comfortable bed with nice linens and lots of pillows, washer & dryer (we personally love getting to go home with a suitcase of clean clothes - lol!), bathroom with all the necessities, and a balcony with table and chairs that made it the perfect place for coffee and whale watching.
We used the beach chairs, umbrella, ice chest, and beach towels that were provided as well - all of them were in great shape which was so nice.
The lobby area of the complex is really nice to walk through each time you leave and come back with front desk gals that were really friendly. Parking is abundant and super easy. The neighborhood is really quiet and surrounded by places to eat, shop, walk, etc... We didn't use the pool or BBQs so I can't speak to them but they looked nice and clean. We did love the beach right in front of the condo though and it was fun in the evenings when everyone came out for the sunsets and played in the water.
The photos on the listing represent the condo really well. Michael did a great job at showing the place authentically and there really were not any 'surprises' for us as far as disappointment in what we thought we were getting. It was exactly the type of place we love. Mahalo Michael and Kelly ~ we can't wait to come back!
