This west Maui condo was perfect for our family of four. The layout was great, with both bedrooms on the 2nd floor, and the living space and kitchen on the 1st floor. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there are two tables for dining, one indoors and one outdoors on the incredible lanai (if you plan on cooking some meals in, we'd recommend getting a Safeway frequent shopper card and shopping the sales, or stocking up at Costco near the airport before you arrive - much less expensive than the other grocery options). Having a washer and dryer inside the condo for our use was a godsend as well. There is not air conditioning, but by opening the shutters on the windows that face away from the ocean and the patio doors that open up to the lanai, the trade winds create a perpetual breeze that makes the entire condo a very pleasant temperature, even when we visited in August. The beds are very comfortable, and having two full bathrooms was great for our family. We also enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub in the condo complex for the few times when we were too tired to get all sandy at the beach, but still wanted to take a quick dip or let the kids play in the water to burn off some energy. As an added bonus, there are two beautiful Weber gas grills available for use in the pool area as well, and we grilled dinner on them several times. We have zero complaints about this property. If we are ever able to return to Maui, this will definitely be the first place we try to stay.
The location is about a 10-15 minute drive from Black Rock Beach to the south (great boogie boarding, snorkeling, and cliff jumping) or Kapalua Bay or Napili Bay beaches to the north. It was about a 50 minute drive to the airport in Kahului.
