Condo has a beautiful view of the ocean and pool. Only downside was the bedroom was in a loft. Parking was also hard to find near our Condo. Still it is a great place to stay.

EXACTLY the unit we hoped for in every way. Perfect location for beach, bar and eats. It was great to walk the beach past the hotels FULL of people. Nothing was too busy. They started pool service the day before we left so that is now a plus. We have been coming to Maui for 35 years and this is the best place. Everything was in the unit. Just really chill and cool. Owner was so easy to communicate with and we WILL. return!

This was our 3rd trip to Maui, our 6th accommodation, and I can safely say that this was the best experience we’ve had so far. I obsess over details to find high value gems on the island and I grantee this condo punches well above its weight.

Love, love, love this resort and George and Cynthia's unit is one of the best we've stayed in there. Proximity to pool and beach is fantastic. The EXTRA FIRM bed is so comfortable that I'm ordering the same mattress for myself at home! I will definitely be looking to stay in this unit again.
