Aaron and Tim’s place was the perfect launch pad for my 19 year old son and my Maui adventure and the description and other positive reviews were spot on. The construction at the condo complex is wrapping up I believe and was a non-factor, as we were out and about during the construction hours anyhow.
The place had EVERYTHING we could need or want, Aaron answered any questions or requests promptly, gave amazing tips, and the amenities (beach chairs, a plethora of beach towels and toys, a nice “welcome” gift and personalized note, wide selection of pillows, etc) were better than most hotels (which would rent the same Tommy Bahama beach chairs for $15/day versus free at Aaron’s). The place is completely remodeled and in perfect condition. There is a nice view of the ocean from the expansive lanai.
Location is an easy 10 minute drive to the beaches, resorts and golf at Wailea or even closer to some very nice beaches in Kihei. The beach directly in front of the condo is a great place to sit in the sun and/or watch the sunset and whales (in-season). It isn’t the best beach for swimming or snorkeling but we didn’t expect that and beaches for swimming, snorkeling and boogie boarding are a very short drive away.
The pool is a typical condo type of pool area - it’s fine but not where we chose to spend much time (prefer the beach and activities). However we did take advantage of the gas grills at the complex which were freely available and in great condition.
I was once a frequent Maui traveler but this was my son’s first visit to Maui (he’s been more often to the also beautiful Princeville/Hanalei area of Kauai) and even he now believes, “Maui no ka oi” (Maui is the best).
Mahalo Aaron and Tim!
