We had a very good stay in Maui. Don is a very responsive host.
Pros:
1. Kitchen & bathroom seems recently renovated and they had everything we need.
2. It has all the beach gear you need: beach umbrella, chairs, snorkels, fins, boogie boards and sunscreens. Even a nice small Igloo cooler.
3. Location is good, very near to Kapalua beach and apartment has a nice view.
4. We were greeted with a small welcome gift.
Cons:
1. Apartment is at the top floor (2nd) and the buildings in this complex has no real roof so interior gets REALLY hot. For bedroom, AC unit was really effective and it was able to nicely cool the bedroom. For the living room, I had to turn on the fan and left the balcony door open over the night to manage the heat.
2. There was some rust on the AC unit interior railings/filter and there was some calcium (or something else) residue on the fridge water dispenser. I think these two issues need to be fixed/maintained properly.
3. I saw ants crawling mostly around the periphery and under the rug in the living room. It wasn't too bad and I was able to manage it by just wiping it with water & soap. But the house might benefit from a better treatment to fully prevent the issue.
4. Sofa is not too comfy when turned into a bed.
5. Parking spots of the complex are tight and if you have a big car, it'll be painful to park your car especially when neighboring spots are full.
Considering all things, it was still a very good stay and I would say pros outweigh the cons and I would really consider staying at this property in the future. Thanks!
