Absolutely LOVED our stay! The highlights, of course, are the SPECTACULAR views! From our lanai, we saw a turtle swimming on both the first and last days of our stay along with two pods of dolphins (Spinners & Bottlenose) gamboling in the waves. Not to mention rainbows and unbelievable unobscured sunsets, all to the delicious sound of the surf. If the waves are too loud for you, no worries. Shut the sliding door and windows and the unit is silent as a tomb. Since there is only one neighbor, the likelihood that you’ll be disturbed is low. There was a toddler staying next to us and we did hear him cry occasionally but never enough to spoil our stay.
The beach is just steps away – exit the parking lot about halfway up, through a pedestrian gate to a public beach that spans southward for miles. Or drive to the many beaches dotting the island. Maui beaches tend to be RIGHT on the water with rocky bottoms - walk to a spot in front of one of the resorts for the sandier stretches. But always exercise caution as the undertow can be intense.
Back to the unit itself! The bed was a bit hard for my taste but never presented a problem physically. Kitchen was adequately stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils, glasses, coffee mugs, etc. Plus a few extra spices left from other guests. Check in the cabinets before you go shopping. And you can go shopping at the grocery store just at the end of the drive or take a 10 minute drive to an exceedingly well stocked Safeway.
The pool is small but clean and comfortable with grills and plates and utensils for guest use.
We did have a few teeny tiny bugs but that’s to be expected when you are in a tropical environment. Again, nothing to spoil our stay.
Laundry is one floor down and costs $3.50 total for a wash and dry.
We were definitely not ready to leave and have already recommended the unit to our friends. If/when we go back to Maui, the likelihood is very high that we will be back to this wonderful unit!
