Pro’s and con’s that we experienced during our weeks visit:
Pros:
- great views from the balcony and could see sea turtles in the afternoon
- great location right in the middle between
Kihei and Lahaina
- washer/ dryer
- well stocked with everything needed for a week
- Don was very quick to respond when we had an issue with parking
- the condo does give an authentic Hawaiian vibe with a custom surfboard counter and cool Hawaiian artwork all over the condo
Cons:
- the bedroom had jalousie windows from ceiling to floor that while offer good airflow, were frosted on the bottom and clear on the top (the frosted part could still see shapes of people through) open up into the public hallway across from the elevators which allows noise from everyone using the elevator to wake you up at 6am every morning and is a security issue because anyone in the hallway can lift them up from the outside and see directly into the whole bedroom
- this seems like it was attempted to be fixed with curtains, however the curtains only come down halfway leaving the whole bottom half exposed and the curtains were only held up with command strips which fell during our first night and left the window completely curtainless the entire week. My suggestion would be to secure with proper hardware and get full length weighted curtains (I say weighted because for the short time we had curtains they were so thin the wind kept blowing them up)
- we saw multiple bugs including ants, flies, knats, a few roaches, and another bug we couldn’t identify in the condo
- the bathtub could have been cleaner
- the assigned parking spot is underground and has a 6ft clearance which is too short for any jeeps, or taller SUVs/trucks which was not made clear in the description (we almost learned this the hard way, we started driving down into the underground parking and my husband saw the 6ft sign and stopped to check our rental car listing which stated 6ft 6in so we had to back up the steep hill out of it to avoid collision)
