Michael was extremely responsive and helpful in the reservation process. He has a professional manager on-Island for any local issues. Although we did not need to utilize the manager's assistance, it's good to have a local resource.

The location of the condo on Maui's west shore is wonderful. I have personally never seen so many large green sea turtles in one place as I did on the beach in front of the Polynesian Shore condos, where this unit is located. It was possible to see turtles both on the beach and in the water every morning and every afternoon.

The beach chairs, snorkel gear and umbrellas in the unit were all great, not the usual beaten-up versions typical in the vacation rental market. It's a friendly, neighborhood type of condo complex, vs. all vacationers. Everyone was very helpful.

There is no air conditioning and the second floor master bedroom does tend to get a bit hot. We used the fans whenever we were in the unit and I agree with other reviewers that it would be best if the ones in the bedroom and living room could be replaced.

The beach, the equipment, the location and the friendly environment were all major plusses that outweighed a few minor issues. We recommend considering this rental.
