Shannon is a very responsive and a great host. We had an issue with the microwave. She responded to my text within a few minutes… at 6 AM on Sunday.
We love the location. The beach is a few steps from the door. Our kids swam or snorkeled in the ocean every day. We saw one of the biggest turtle snorkeling at that beach. Black Rock, one of the best snorkeling spots in Maui, is right around the corner. Napili farmer’s market is a few minutes north where I found soursop and jackfruits on Wednesday.
The condo’s living area is very spacious and comfortable for a family of 4. The lanai was great, perfect spot for breakfast while enjoying the ocean and birds in the morning. The place has AC and fans so it was very nice and cool inside all day. The kitchen is brand new and very clean.
There are a few things that we did not like. Perhaps we were unlucky with the noise when we were there from 6 am -9 pm. Since it got quiet by bedtime, no problem there. The condo’s door and windows are just screen door with closed shutters so it is not insulated. The family next door loved leaving their doors open so it was noisy most of the time, as if they were in the condo with us. The second to last day we started smelling cigarette and pot from the living room. It turned out the people on the other side smoked on their lanai and we can smell it in the house even with everything closed. If we stay there longer, we would have asked them to smoke somewhere else or talked to the property manager.
Overall the place is great. We would rent it again.
