Pros

1. The view is amazing…just like the pictures.

2. Condo has been updated

3. Management company is awesome! Great customer service and communication. Not only are they extremely friendly but they really seemed to care that we enjoy our visit. Seriously loved them and will definitely use them again.

4. Wonderful location. Away from the hustle of town but with a great Shaved ice, coffee shop and ABC store across the street.

5. One of the best “barefoot walking on” beaches I’ve seen in Hawaii. Very soft sand and few rocks. Loved it!

Cons

1. Old building - Though interior is updated you can see the age in the hallways and trashed elevator that doesn’t work sometimes.

2. The AC is terrible. It does fine on the main living room but the bed room remained stuffy no matter what we tried. It was sooooo hard to sleep. This could have ruined our entire trip but the management company (not the owner) was sweet enough to drive over and physically block the main AC vent with cardboard which forced the air into the bedroom. This literally saved our vacation. Thank you, Susan and Dora! A 20 dollar closable AC vent in the living room would have fixed this problem but the owner is too cheap to buy it. (That’s where you lost me, man.)

3. Internet it frustratingly slow. What should have taken 10 minutes of catching up on work emails would take hours wasting valuable vacation time.

4. Plumbing. Every now and then when you’d flush the toilet it or turn on the shower, you’d get a big waft of the the unmistakable smell sewage. At least it didn’t happen all the time, but it was gross.

5. The showers. Even though the bathrooms have been updated, the design is dumb. The way it’s set up (with a glass half wall instead of a sliding door or curtain), it’s impossible to turn on the shower without getting splashed with those first few seconds of cold water. It’s also impossible to actually take a shower without getting water all over the bathroom floor.

Would we stay here again?

This place isn’t terrible, but it’s just not good enough. The best thing about this condo was the management company, location and the view, but guess what…there are thousands of condo’s in Maui with a great location/view.

There are plenty of condos available with owners who are willing to go out of their way make sure there place feels like a home away from home. This place feels doesn’t feel like a home. It feels like rental property.
