The grounds & location are very nice. The beach is just steps from your door and is beautiful. The pool is heated and nice. The downside is that this unit is very poorly maintained. A cleaning fee is charged, but the unit was not clean. The sleeper sofa had no linens and was unusable due to deterioration. The unit is advertised as remodeled, but it does not appear to be a recent remodel. The linens looked old and mismatched. The appliances, dishes, and the handles on all the cabinets and appliances were dirty, sticky and grimy. The lanais have gorgeous views, but the smell from all the bird droppings caked on the railings, floors and furniture overwhelms the scent of the plumeria trees. The huge spiderweb on the lanai also indicates a lack of maintenance.
As noted, this unit has no AC (not unusual in Hawaii). However, the arrangement of the upstairs bedrooms and tiny window in the smaller bedroom doesn't allow for great airflow thru the unit, thus keeping the upstairs very hot. The fans (not pictured in the listing) were so covered in dust that they were not usable for us due to allergies. Also note that the No Smoking policy is not enforced on the grounds, so the bedroom facing the parking lot had cigarette and weed smoke wafting into the unit. Not great if you have children sleeping in that room or just don't want to inhale other's smoke.
The management company did offer to have the unit cleaned for us, but since we had a packed itinerary, we did not have time to repack and wait for the cleaners to service the unit. Based on the condition, it would have been several hours to clean it properly.
As a final note, we were locked out of our unit more than 30 minutes prior to our checkout time with some of our luggage still inside.
We travel frequently and stay in a variety of places from Courtyards to Ritz Carltons and other basic vacation/time share rentals. This is the worst unit I have ever stayed in on Maui, or frankly anywhere. I do not recommend this unit.
