When we were planning our trip to Maui we found very few decently priced places to stay for a family of four and were glad to find Grace's Condo available. Overall, an outstanding place to stay. Below are a few pros, cons, and notes for our visit.
Pros:
- One of less than fifty 4+ star Vrbos on Maui for four people at this price point.
- Very nice location in the Hale Kamaole resort with a pool just around the corner and beach access across the road.
- Full amenities as listed on Vrbo. We were able to prepare full meals using the provided dishes and utensils which saved us a lot of money on our vacation.
- King sized bed with good, cold A/C in the bedroom.
- Quick response from owner when we had trouble finding our condo.
Cons:
- Check-in and check-out was frustrating. We weren't provided the condo number in pre-arrival correspondence and couldn't find the office (you cannot drive to it and have to walk down to the road from the center parking lot between the two pools). Also, the front office is only open from 0900-1700 (1000-1700 on weekends) so there is only a two hour window to arrive and get checked in. Because we didn't get our car registered by 1700 we had to cut our touring short the following day to get back in time to register it. When we checked out we didn't know if we could just drop the key or had to do anything else so we stood around waiting for someone to show up for 30 minutes.
- The garbage disposal didn't work.
- As advertised, there were plenty of spices for food prep, but salt and pepper were not among them!
- Vehicles parking out front shine their lights straight into the bedroom. After the first night we made sure we took the spot directly in front of the bedroom window.
Notes:
- Not set up for small children - lots of decorations we had to put away when we first arrived to keep them from being broken (owner knew we had small kids and warned us beforehand).
- Turn A/C from "economy" to "cool" to prevent it from loudly cycling every 5-10 minutes through the night.
