As my first VRBO stay, I was very pleased with this property. The photos are good but I felt they didn’t do the property Justice. There were four adults on the trip and we all had plenty of space. Everything worked and the unit was well appointed. It had tons of dishes, spices and plenty of utensils to utilize. We also found that there were some books and CDs for when we got bored. Very fortunate to have the extras such as a foldable Costco gray beach cart with wide tires for the sand and some swim devices we could borrow. We also saw two totes of beach items, two umbrellas, and four beach chairs all ready to go. Ample towels were provided, too. However, we brought our own microfiber towels which don’t take on sand. I would definitely consider staying at this facility or with this owner again in the future.
Two of the folks in our group enjoyed the pool, but the solar heating system didn’t look too well maintained or may have been non- functional. Those in our group who tried the pool said the pool wasn’t very warm at all.
Went upstairs to check out the BBQ area. Nice and lots of space for people to hang out. Two large grills to cook on and folks using them into the late evenings.
Also, I noticed that some other comments said the furniture was dated. I suppose if you are looking for the most modern, updated and spacious rental with a view, maybe you could look out years in advance; but for me, I had to book within a reasonable timeframe (less than one year) and we found this unit available and with exactly or more what we wanted for a good price. The age of the furniture or fixtures was a non issue to us. Everything worked and we had a ton of fun, as well as made wonderful memories at this location.
We did find that the parking spots at this location (and in many locations in Hawaii) are very slim! We rented a Chevy Malibu which isn’t really a large car. It was difficult to get in and out of most spots in Maui, except for the Times Supermarket and Costco. So definitely consider loss damage waiver on your rental car, get a small rental, or prepare to park far away if you want lots of room around your vehicle when parking. This is certainly not a problem for the condo or stay itself but for the entire condo association at this location and others in Maui. I’m assuming they were significantly constrained on space vs. parking spots needed for each unit when they had to paint the lines.
