Had a great stay at Mauricio's surf condo 2.0.
The location:
Is great with good proximity to road to Hana and lots of nearby activities and amenities. Mama's Fish house, the little protected beach in front of Mama's fish house and the Kaua store are within a few hundred feet and very walkable. The awesome surf and sights of Hookipa and lower Paia township are a very short drive or longer walk. There are turtles everywhere. Food options were great: Kaua store, food trucks on Hana Hwy, Paia town, Mama's Fish House for fancier folks, Costco and Safeway are close-ish back in Kahului. Moderate drive options were a waterfall hike, Jaws beach and Haiku town.
The condo itself:
Was perfect for our family (couple with active, 3 year old kid). Super functional and child safe. The big backyard was great for playing and almost entirely self-enclosed so very safe. The bluetooth speakers in the roof got much more usage than we envisaged and sounded great. King bed was comfortable and there was lots of storage available throughout the condo. Kitchen had almost everything needed for cooking. Some cooking oil and tuperware would have been great additions for our trip. There were quite a few beach toys/equipment and lots of cleaning supplies to maintain the place during our stay. We couldn't work out how to use the TV but really didn't need it for our stay. Wifi was adequate from the living room but very slow from the bedroom. Bathroom was clean, modern and functional although only enough hot water for short showers.
Mauricio:
Was a super good communicator prior to and during our stay. He gave us immediate, additional info on what toys would be available for our child and worked through a problem we had during our stay (caused by us).
Would definitely come back again! Very happy!
