We stayed in this unit in March 2011. We have stayed at a number of places in Maui over the last 5 years, so we generally know what to expect for our $.

The unit was generally as described in the listing description. However, the unit does need some updating. The couch and chair were not overly clean, the fans were filthy, the screen door was damaged, pots and pans were in very poor shape, cupboards in the upstairs bedroom needed fixing/replacing, outside closet was filthy, etc.

In fairness to the owners, they did fix the screen door and replace the pots and pans. They also cleaned the fan - after we took it down to their business and then picked it up. However, what was most distrubing was their attitude. They thought they were doing us a favor.

When the exterminators were coming we were told by the complex managers to close all screens, windows, etc. We tried to comply, but the screen on the upstairs skylight was non existant and the window would not close. We told the owners but there reaction was basically that it had never been a problem and don't worry. No matter we got some bugs, geckos, etc in the unit - again, not a big deal, but it should have been dealt with by the owners. All we were trying to do was take care of the unit as if it was our own.

At the last week, we were going to stay for a couple more days. The calendar showed the time was available, so we contacted the owner. We would, of course, pay for this time. Our response from the owner was one line with significant profanity included (I kept the email and still have it). We quickly got an apology, but it indicates the attitude of the owners.

When we rented, we thought having an owner with a business on island would be a plus. Not so - I should have paid more attention to some of the reviews written for his business. The owners of this property have a attitude where it seems give us the money and don't bother us.

We would not stay in this unit again.
