We stayed in Barrett’s place with our family over the new year. The place was exactly as advertised and it was clean and spacious. Barrett was very helpful throughout the booking process and leading up to our stay.
It falls into a weird space between a condo and a hotel. It was very clean but a bit dated. The sofa bed was clean and comfortable. There’s a kitchen with dishwasher and full fridge, but no stovetop (although there is a grill downstairs). There’s also a laundry machine on the same floor (next door for us). The pool is lovely, but the water slide was broken for the entire week we were there. Hard to hold that against the host but it was still disappointing for the kids. It was apparently broken by a big storm the week before, but it was one of many amenities that fell short.
The other challenge was that the WiFi was very unreliable and at times unusable. There is a wired hookup in the unit but we weren’t able to use it.
Still it is a great part of Maui, you can see the ocean, and there is plenty of space in the unit to spread out. As long as you go into it knowing the limits, it is a good home base.
