We have stayed at various units at Ekahi over the years, it is our go to property on Maui! This condo could be amazing with a few updates…
Pros: location, 2 bedrooms with teenagers was a huge benefit, 3 lanai's, views!
Cons: carpet in the condo was really awful, I’m guessing it was the culprit of the musty odor. Tile, hardwood or laminate is a must in the tropics. The trim was scratched up all over the unit, a coat of paint would go a long way. The kitchen was packed full of random dish and cookware in every cabinet for about 20 people, but no usual things that you expect from a Vrbo, like foil, beach to go cups, spices, olive oil and only 1 sauté pan!!! The cabinets were falling apart in places and the inside particle board smelled bad. The countertop was upgraded but left the old cabinets. living room furniture was very uncomfortable. No beach size travel cooler, beach to go cups, beach umbrella(we purchased and left one for next guest)
Property management:
Having to check in at the office in a different location was a pain after traveling. Usually with Vrbo, property managers text/email door code and other info. We’re had to physically go to the office. It was a surprise that there was no beach umbrella, but there were beach chairs. We purchased an umbrella left it there for the next guests, I let them know on checkout staff said we don’t have umbrellas in our rentals. Umbrella, beach size coolers/cups, pickle ball gear would be small things to boost this unit!
