Elise was a perfect host that responded in timely fashion and provided us with an excellent location in Maui. The biggest perk of this condo was the convenience of location. It was literally a SHORT DRIVE to everything. EVERYTHING meaning restaurants, shops, beaches and snorkeling boat trips.
The condo has been very well maintained despite the age. Only a few minor details like the appliances and lack of central air conditioning. BUT you will not be really needing it bc off all the great restaurants nearby and the cooling ocean winds that blow through. Plus who was planning to bake anything on vacation, yah?
OVERALL, the condo was EXCELLENT in our opinion and the whole family enjoyed the stay. Big bonuses included very comfortable beds and pillows and large family gathering areas like the patio, living room and dining table. This is a GREAT place to stay with a small family and we highly recommend it for the value.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Foodland Supermarket - For all your grocery needs plus awesome To-Go food like poke' and bento boxes. 5 STARS!!!!
Nutcharee Thai - Best Thai food with Maui flair but BETTER service.
Ululani's Shaved Ice - A 15 minute drive towards Lahania but definitely worth it. Silky smooth shaved ice to die for.
Coconuts - If you are in the mood for a nearby fast casual joint. Specializes in fish tacos and sandwiches. Pretty good fare
Boss Frogs across from Starbucks - Justin was the man there and he hooked us up with bikes to ride around plus a snorkeling trip with Blue Water Rafting. They are awesome as well
Beaches - All the nearby beaches were awesome. Highlights were Ulua, Wailea, Po'oleanlena, Makena, Maluaka. Some of the most BEAUTIFUL beaches I have ever seen. Buy some Foodland poke' and bring it with you and enjoy the view while you eat! BUT please throw away your trash afterwards!!!!!
