I’m so grateful for my stay here and I will start off with the cons of the place and end with some pros/positives.
Cons:
I was surprised to see inside the bathroom we did not have very many towels or wash clothes but it was okay because I brought a couple of our own from home. In the second bedroom the closet door was the off track and I immediately contacted the host to let her know. Definitely a minor issue, but nonetheless something that you would think would have been taken care of before arriving. She informed me how to fix it and offered to have someone come fix it as soon as I contacted her.
Inside the master bedroom the patio sliding door was also not easily movable because it too was off of its tracks. I decided to refrain from using the door as much as possible which was a shame because I was looking forward to enjoying the sunset view from the patio that overlooked the ocean.
The day after a pretty major storm the water in the unit was luke warm / almost cold and I had to rush and bathe my children. The next day after the storms passed the water was completely cold, so I reached out to the host and she was amazing at helping me solve the issue and flip the breaker back on.
The front door was very difficult to open and unlock as the key would not turn easily and the side of the front door frame was cracked.
Lastly the patio furniture was extremely uncomfortable and unstable. The patio chairs were wooden, old and rickety with cushion but even those were quite worn and filthy. The patio table was also very unstable and wobbly and unfortunately we were not able to fully enjoy the beauty of the lanai and eat outside due to the instability and lack of comfort of the outdoor furniture.
Pros:
The condo is close to luxurious shoppes, walking distance from a grocery store, a golf course, a bar, and the gorgeous beaches of Wailea and Makena. The condo had a nice electric grill on the lanai and has breathtaking 180 degree views of the ocean, the island of Lanai, Molokini crater, luxurious homes and golf course. We enjoyed being on the first floor as it allowed our babies to run around and be and feel free and wild. The interior decor is super cute and everything is Hawaiian themed from the pictures to the adorable pineapple lamps ~ you definitely get the Aloha vibes as soon as you arrive. The designers attention to detail was spot on, I just wish the patio could’ve received the same attention. The kitchen was fully stocked which was great! Lastly the host was just so amazing and responsive and seemed to genuinely care about all our concerns and was prompt and helpful to get everything fixed ASAP.
