This unit is as advertised and is a perfectly comfortable place for 1-2 people but note my ALERT below regarding road noise. I had a great week here. Big ocean view (note: seawall only; if you need a sandy beach you will need to look elsewhere), cold A/C in entire unit, no insects noted. Just a few things to point out, listed in order of perceived importance:
1.) IMPORTANT - On some mornings, there had been construction on the street. I could be wrong but I believe this is a longer term road project. There were trucks with backup sirens and jackhammers and they begin AT or BEFORE 7AM! It is right outside the bedroom and it is LOUD. Earplugs help for the sirens but not for the jackhammers. It was not every day but it happened more than once. For some sensitive people, this could be a HUGE problem on your Hawaii vacation so I highly suggest you consult with the host prior to booking if you think this could be an issue for you. Perhaps they can get the crew work times from Maui County. I was not unduly bothered by it but did find it annoying and I know some people would not be able to handle it.
2.) There are no window coverings on the living room sliding doors. It's kind of nice as it declutters the area and lets in tons of light, but there are a few reasons the host may want to consider window coverings: a.) because of the design of the building and since the unit is a stone's throw from the water, it's possible no one in the grassy area below can see in; however, an AirBnB guest would not have this assurance. At night, with the lights on, it's possible that someone outside may be able to see in. I didn't really care so I didn't go check, but some guests may be very troubled by this. b .) the unit faces the water (west) and the constant sun exposure will increase electric bills and possibly cause bleaching of interior items. Closing drapes when guests leave for the day will keep it cooler and save energy. Note: There is a retractable sun screen on the balcony but it doesn't seem to do all that much.
3.) The TV is roku which is nice but the audio is tinny and poor. It looks like a super cheap TV. If they invest in a good set-up I think guests will really appreciate it.
4.) The sign says to park in "GUEST" or "204". I saw a few guest spots and used those but I never saw where the parking was for 204. It may be across the street? You might want to double check as there are only a few GUEST spots at the unit's location.
5.) Had trouble getting cool water from the bathroom sink (shower was fine). I didn't report is cause I use bottled anyway and washed hands at kitchen sink.
6.) There is no coffee table in the living room (odd) .
Tips: China Boat is a 2-3 min walk north and the food was good. It's take-out only right now with COVID. MisoPhat sushi has a location about a 6 minute walk south. Check the sunset times for when you're here - they're unforgettable.
