We love staying at this property! Maui is one of our favorite places in the world and the location of this condo on Maui could not be better. This is our fourth time on Maui and second time staying at this condo and, at this point, we would not stay anywhere else on the island! We use vrbo frequently for our trips and the owners of this condo are truly exceptional. They are absolutely wonderful to work with and offer a generous discount for return customers. The condo balcony overlooks the ocean, you have your own private beach and a pool and hot tub right in front of the ocean, and all of this is without the crowds of Kaanapaali and other area beaches. Sea turtles regularly come on to this beach to hang out and rest for hours which is so cool. You are close to grocery stores, many great larger beaches such as Kapalua Bay and D.T. Fleming Beach, with many good restaurants nearby. We highly recommend happy hour on the patio at Merriman’s restaurant on Kapalua beach, Hula Grill on Kaanapaali Beach, Kimo’s in Lahaina, and The Fish Market’s macadamia nut rubbed mahi mahi from with pineapple salsa from the Farmer’s Market that you can cook yourself at the condo and eat with the spectacular view from your balcony! If you drive 15 minutes or so north past Kapalua and the Ritz Carlton and you are on the West Maui Scenic Loop Road which has absolutely spectacular views, is away from tourist spots, and like a different island with its unspoiled beauty. The road is very narrow and down to one lane in spots, but if you take your time and yield to other drivers, you will be fine and I highly recommend doing the whole loop. You will see a beautiful blowhole at Mile Marker 39, see more of where the real Hawaiians live, get the best banana bread ever at Julia’s road stand, can hike to waterfalls at Mile Marker 8 or so and do stop at Karen Lei’s charming art gallery for beautiful and authentic souvenirs! In my opinion, this rivals the road to Hana with much less traffic. As far as the condo itself, it is always immaculately clean when we arrive. The master suite has a very comfortable king size bed with plenty of closet and dresser space to store your clothes. The pullout couch in the living room works well for two people and the kitchen has all that you need. We eat most of our meals on the table on the balcony as the view is better than just about any restaurant you can find. Mahalo Kathie and Don and we hope and plan to be back soon and often!
