It was our family's first time in Maui, and we felt ourselves lucky to stay here during our week-long vacation. We never once had to contact the host during our stay, as everything was well explained before our trip and there was detailed instructions for everything left in the condo. Amenities in the unit (including the a/c, coffee maker, TV) worked great, the beds were comfortable, and we had a great sleep every night.

The photos of the condo grounds do not do it justice! The views from the Lanai are breathtaking, and the upkeep of the grounds are truly perfection. It does get windy in this area, but it's better than the light rain that the Northern part gets, and I would welcome the wind during the hot summer months.

Our itinerary was full of activities (less beach-only activities), and the central location was perfect to travel to all our excursions (Lahaina, Road to Hana, Halaekala, etc). After long days of excursions, the central location and short ride home was so beneficial for us. For our beach days, it was only 10 min to get to the nice sandy beaches in Kihei. My parents have a very particular palate, so we cooked a lot at home and put the large BBQ on the condo grounds and the rice cooker provided to good use. The unit had all the essentials we needed, and grocery stores were close by (Tip for Koreans..do NOT go to the Korean grocery first. Go to Foodland first as their asian products, including rice and instant ramen, are a LOT cheaper).

We had a great time, and our stay at Howard and Kathleen's condo really helped make our stay enjoyable.
