Beautiful condo in a great location that met our needs. We only needed a place for one night and needed three bedrooms for our family. This place came up and we booked right away. Within 10 minutes, I got a call from Cynthia, who was very friendly, but wanted to make sure we were "for real" because she had just opened the condo up for booking for one night and seemed surprised that someone booked it. A 50% deposit of about $750 was captured right away. It was day three before I checked my email (I was driving from Florida to New Mexico) and I received an email from Cynthia that because I hadn't completed the rental agreement within 48 hours she was going to cancel my reservation that afternoon (no mention about my $750 deposit). I completed the document immediately, at which time I noted that Airbnb would be holding a $2000 deposit on my credit card a few days before my arrival. I understand security deposits, but this seems a little steep. No other Airbnb that we rented in the two islands required a security deposit.
Check in was easy, the resort is lovely, and beach area very nice. The A/C unit in the master bedroom leaked in two places (we knew this was normal as we read about it in the owners manual). We had to put two towels and two buckets down to catch the water. During the night, the dripping sound was torturous so we turned the AC off and opened the sliding doors. It was a little muggy without the AC so it wasn't a great night's sleep for my son and DIL. Very near plenty of restaurants, nightlife and popular beaches. It was nice to be together as a family on our final night in Maui so we are glad we were able to find this place.
