My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our 2 week stay here. Our top things about this place was of course the wonderful view, how quiet and peaceful it was, how close it was to good beaches and restaurants in LaHaina, and the direct ocean access. We would definitely stay here again.
The unit is on the top floor which provides a great view of the ocean but also means you’ll be climbing up three flights of stairs. We don’t mind stairs so not an issue for us. The unit building is next to the parking lot.
The AC is in the bedroom. We definitely used it each night as we slept. The room keeps cool if you keep the room door shut even with the AC off all day. The first time we got in bed, we had an issue with the bed slates. They seem a bit short and slide around a bit but we didn’t have any issues after that. The bed mattress is soft. A good amount of drawer space and closet space in the bedroom.
The bathroom is nice and long. Plenty of towels, including some beach towels. Mostly took cold showers but the hot water worked well.
We cooked several meals in the kitchen and had all the elements we needed. The oven was a little slow heating up including the stove top but otherwise worked well. The dishwasher seemed hit and miss. It’s super quiet which is nice but sometimes didn’t seem to clean super well. It’s smaller so you’ll be running it more often.
We didn’t use the TVs provided so don’t know about that but there was one in the living room and one in the bedroom. WiFi worked ok.
The deck is really nice. We ate out on the deck using the table a few times. The lounge chair out there was very nice to sit and watch the water. It faces west so you get to enjoy the sunset every night.
The unit did come with two beach chairs which we took with us on our beach days.
The complex has a pool which we didn’t really use but looked nice and was a good place to lay out in the sun if you were tired of the beach. The complex also had a tennis court and a shuffle board and outdoor bbqs. Security is very good here with the property manager often doing rounds around the property.
The complex does have ocean access. I really enjoyed that there was a rock outcropping with a built in ladder that let you get in the water directly. I snorkeled out there a few times and was able to swim with a sea turtle there. There is also a little beach. It’s nice to have that option if you don’t want to go out but there are many amazing beaches that you can drive to in a few minutes so we didn’t use the beach here often.
There is a little farmers market that you can walk to from this unit but there is also a Safeway 10 minutes away. We really enjoyed the LaHaina town center with its shopping and restaurants and that was only like 10 minutes drive. So location was great in terms of accessing West Maui.
We did do the road to Hana drive but that was a very long day from here (like 3 hour drive each way). You’d have to get a very early start to enjoy Hana attractions or better yet plan to stay a night in Hana. Personally thought the Road to Hana was overrated. The drive around the north side of west Maui was just as much fun in terms of small twisty road and offered amazing cliff side views if you are looking for a closer drive.
