We recently stayed at Maui Seaside for 8 days, 7 nights. We are avid VRBO people... we always opt for an apt, condo or house on vacation so that we feel like we are coming "home" after a long adventurous day. We always base our decisions off reviews so I wanted to make sure to leave one here.
Pros:
1. THE VIEW!
2. LOCATION!
3. Well stocked.
4. I would say communication with management was 60/40. They responded quickly, but I never quite had my questions fully answered the first time.
Cons:
1. The unit was not clean. The bathroom fans were caked in dust so if you turned the light on then the dust with stick to the ceiling or fall on you. The couch had a crusty yellow "stain" over it which looked like someone threw raw eggs and just left it. The standing fan in the bedroom had built up huge chunks of dust and debris so when you had it on, it would shoot out the large chunks onto the bed. The bedskirt was supposed to be white, but was the same color as the floor.
2. Birds - patio was amazing, but there was always feces and urine. If you didn't have the screen closed at all times, they would wander in.
3. There is a window unit, but it didn't do anything. We were hot alllll theeee timeeee.
4. Pay attention to all their little "notes" that they have posted.
5. The dishwasher doesn't work right now although listed as available.
A deep deep clean and small upgrades would make such a difference, but until then, we wouldn't go back or suggest it.
