Great proximity to beaches and shops. Lots to do from your door step. Pool was great.
For our first visit to Maui, this condo couldn’t have been in a better location, central to everything, comfortable beds, and set up just right. Super responsive host was a plus!
Property was peaceful, quiet, and clean. I loved all of the beach supplies that were available to use.
Very nice place. De was fantastic to deal with.
Great property. I would stay here again and recommend family and friends. Kitchen was fully stocked and the place was clean. They also had beach essentials and bags to carry things to the beach.
Overall, a good experience. Thanks for your prompt communication and straightforward check-in process.
A couple of things to note on the cleanliness front:
1. The entire apartment smelled strongly of marijuana, so a good air out and air filtering is in order.
2. There were a lot of dust bunnies under both beds that would easily be fixed with a good vacuum and occasional mop.
3. The king bed bath had mold growing in the water jet holes in the bathtub, and the drain stopper was similarly very moldy.
4. The soap dispenser in the king bed bath was empty.
5. There were very few spare bath and hand towels, and only one face towel that was clearly a rag.
6. Both AC units in the bedrooms likely need maintenance as the volume was not only loud but there was also quite a bit of rattling.
Thanks for letting us stay.
My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Joe and De's property. Overall, it was a great experience. The listing accurately portrayed the property, and we were delighted to find that it lived up to our expectations.
De, the host, was incredibly responsive and attentive. The neighborhood surrounding the property was lovely, providing a peaceful and pleasant environment for our vacation. One of the highlights of the location was its proximity to the beach, where we witnessed some beautiful sunsets.
However, there were a couple of issues that slightly marred our stay. The pre-arrival steps felt a little all over the places. We were required to fill out PDF forms and communicate via both the VRBO app and text messages with our rental car, room set up preferences..etc, which made it a bit confusing and time-consuming. It would be beneficial if there was a streamlined process that allowed for a smoother experience, possibly through a comprehensive pre-arrival survey. Additionally, while the property was generally clean, there were a few areas that could benefit from some updates.
Despite these minor hiccups, I want to emphasize that our stay at this listing was thoroughly enjoyable, and my family had a great time. I would still highly recommend it to anyone seeking an affordable and pleasant stay.
The condo had everything we needed! Great location to beach, restaurants and coffee shops!
Great location close to beaches and great places to eat. Toiletries provided, which is so nice! There was even reef safe sunscreen (that might have been left by a previous renter). Thank you!
So happy we found this spot. The location was awesome with a mere 6 minute walk to the local beach Kamaole 1, which has a bathroom and showers. There's a mini mart across the street from that and restaurants all within walking distance.
Having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms really made a HUGE difference in the quality of our stay. Yes we could've gotten by sharing a bathroom and had a pullout sleeper couch. But this was MUCH better. My parents had their privacy and I had mine. My husband came out for 4 nights out of our 10 night stay and it was really nice to all have our own space. The lanai (balcony) in this condo actually has a beautiful partial view of Haleakala volcano and my dad really enjoyed siting out there every morning watching the sun rise over the mountain.
Mom and me really loved hitting the hot tub every night. Everyone who lives in the complex or is renting is very social and friendly so the hot tub was a fun social scene for us.
The place was clean and comfortable and we REALLY appreciated the various extras that simplified our stay. For instance there is already beach chairs, umbrellas, etc, ice packs, coolers, some spices in the cabinets. They really have thought of everything.
The only small drawback which will matter for some more than others is if you plan on cooking a lot this is really only a 1 person at a time kitchen. We cooked about 80-90% of our meals and it definitely was comedic at times!! Lol
It was certainly manageable and worth it foe all the other great things about the place. But if that's super important to you then take that into consideration. But I'd definitely stay there again if given the opportunity.
Joe and De and the property manager Jennifer all replied within moments ant time I reached out and were ready to help answer any questions or concerns and we appreciated that very much.
Other great things is it's only 20 minutes from Maalaea Harbor where a lot of whale boat depart from, 30 minutes from Kahului if you want to go to Costco for shopping. 20 minutes from Makena Beach and thr southern beaches and about 40 to Lahaina. Such a great location. Very happy with our stay.
And FYI it is very safe to walk around the property (for anyone with disabilities or small children), everything is paved and clear. There's a shopping cart to bring up all your luggage and elevators so don't struggle with the stairs!
Would stay again. Thank you to Joe and De. Hope to book again next year!
Mahalo!
