We greatly enjoyed our stay here. In terms of location, for us it was an ideal mix of being slightly off the beaten path from the resorts just south in K’annapali, but close enough that we could get food there and enjoy the more active vibe and also get to Lahaina easily, which we did several times.
At the condo building there was a nice, small, quiet beach
on one side and then a larger wider beach on the other, in front of a large resort building. There was a good-sized heated pool and hot tub for condo building use only, which was quiet and featured many lounge chairs.
The view from the 8th floor balcony was spectacular. Awesome sunsets, great view of Lana’i and Moloka’i, and we saw a number of whales in the distance as well as had the
chance to watch the surfers. The place is literally right on the water, it almost feels like you’re on a cruise ship.
Some people here have commented to the effect that the condo is somewhat outdated. We did not find that to be the case. Yes, there is carpeting (but it is in great shape) and
maybe the bathroom isn’t 100 percent modern with granite vanity tops and fancy faucets. But it was perfectly adequate and clean. And, really, shouldn’t you be staring at
the incredible view of the ocean rather than the tile in the bathroom?
Additionally, we were in Hawaii for 2 weeks so the ability to do our laundry was a key must have for us. It should be noted that the coin op ($1.75 in quarters; change machine
in pool area if needed) is on the same floor as the condo. We were so happy that it was so convenient to use! It was out the condo front door and just a few steps down the hallway. There are several floors with laundry like the 8th floor, so we never felt that we were vying for laundry time. A huge plus for us.
Also, we appreciated the thoughtful gifts of bottled water and Hawaiian treats when we arrived.
One word of caution: at least for our stay, the wifi was not something that would support a virtual working situation. We were fairly “checked out” on our vacation but, from our experience, if we had to combine any substantial amount of work with our play it would not have been feasible.
We would highly recommend this cozy, clean, well-appointed condo and would rent it again if we return to Maui.
