The place is fine. It’s a $200 per night place close to Kihei.
The ad listing is technically correct. It has a view of the ocean from the balcony. It’s not oceanfront though. The view is from the side of the building, and you are in fact looking at the beach through another complex’s courtyard. The unit has a washer and dryer by the technical AirBnB definition. The washer and dryer are right up the hall. They are coin operated, only takes quarters, and there is no change machine in the laundry room. So unless you’ve traveled to Maui with a sack of coins, it’s a bit inconvenient.
My only real complaints are the front door lock and the unit has ants. Ants are everywhere in the upstairs bathroom, and there are bug traps (similar to the old “roach motels”) all over the condo.
The reviews for this condo are packed with complaints about the lock, and now in addition to step by step instructions in the welcome package, they’ve had to tape a paper note on the outside of the door with extra tips on getting it to work. I can’t think of a single time we entered the unit where we didn’t have to do the combination at least twice. Come on man, buy a new lock!
Again, we enjoyed the location of the complex. It’s convenient to Kihei and to Lahaina, and the condo was a safe / comfortable place to sleep.
