We chose this VRBO property because I wanted to be able to see whales off the balcony. And man, did we! It was a great place to stay for that reason. The Royal Mauian property, the pool and the grounds were wonderfully kept. The condo itself was lacking - the carpet was very, very stained and dirty. I'm not super picky about that type of thing, but I was a little shocked at just how bad it was. Plus, the appliances were falling apart. The ice and water dispenser on the refrigerator was duct taped in, and when I was using the stove the entire control panel punched through. All in all, considering what we were paying nightly for this condo, it left much to be desired. The location is wonderful, but this unit needs to be updated and better cared for. We would stay at the Royal Mauian again, but not in this particular condo.
