My husband and I have been visiting Maui for 23 years, so we are not newbies to the island. However, this was our first stay at this property and it was a delight!

We came with our two teenage children and this condo was just the right size. The property is peaceful and beautiful, a little gem of a place. Walking down the corridor to the beach you are pulled forward by the open air view of a Japanese style garden and fountain with the ocean and sky beyond.

A few small grassy areas with lounge chairs face the beach, there is a nice little pool and a living room style sitting area under the eaves where folks tended to socialize and sip wine at sunset, rain or shine.

The unit is renovated and has all the comforts of home. There is a/c throughout! Two bedrooms, two baths - one with a larger shower and new tile. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to cook and serve should you enjoy eating in - which we do! There's a new fridge with an ice maker, a kitchen island and marble counters, microwave, coffee maker, blender, dishwasher - really, everything!

The beds are comfortable, everything everywhere is sparkling clean, including the carpets and tiled floor. The small lanai has a partial view of the ocean, a nice table and four chairs, a small couch and a place to hang wet towels. Inside the couch is a storage area with beach chairs, balls and toys for the pool. A fountain below the lanai adds a nice water sound in addition to the waves from the beach.

There is free wifi, should you want to brag about your vacation on Facebook.

The beach is very nice with small waves and fantastic snorkeling. There are two restaurants on the beach that are easy to walk to - one a cafe and one a high end dinner spot. We used the snorkel rental spot on the beach and were happy with the price and equipment.

This building is small enough that it is quite and peaceful - unlike many of the condo units. The owners are very responsive and are on site to help with whatever you may need.

We hope to come back!
