I took my family to Maui for the first time, and we spent the week at Joe's condo. We really enjoyed our stay.
First, Joe was very responsive and easy to work with. The check-in was a breeze. When we arrived everything was ready to go. The condo is in a private residence so it was nice and quite. The folks there are friendly and always smiled or said hello.
The place is nice and comfortable. The kitchen appliances are pretty new and the kitchen has everything you need. I especially liked the kitchen bar and stools which made for an easy breakfast area for the kids.
With two little ones having the laundry unit was great. The place also has two strollers in good working condition, and a small pack and play big enough for our ten month old. We only used two of the four beds but it was great to have the options! The beds are nice and big, a king in the main bedroom and queen in the loft.
The lanai has spectacular views all day, no matter if you're watching the sun rise or taking in the clear night sky. During the day, usually afternoon, we could see a bale of turtles just off the beach from the lanai, every day! There's lots of beach toys, towels, and equipment to enjoy visits to the beach with the kids.
The private pool was also a treat for our kids. Afternoons there a bit more shade, but can be a bit cool when it's windy. The wind didn't slow us down at all :)
The location is also great. Nice and quite and kind of central to surrounding areas. Ten minutes in any direction and you can be somewhere interesting or fun. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone, and would use it again on our next visit.
Mahalo!
