Pros: The condo itself is awesome. Nice furniture and great relaxing areas for the whole family. Beds were comfy, living room and lanai were great for hanging, and the kitchen has pretty much anything you’d want (blender, pots, pans, big bowls, all utensils, ice maker).
The place is very clean.
Beach equipment was clutch! There is a wagon, cooler, beach towels, and 5 or so chairs. We had them loaded to hit all the other beaches nearby to drive to.
Cons: communication. I think there are 4 groups involved in this property. Kaanapali Royal (the building itself), Maui Vacations, VRBO, and Whalers. I’d send a message about property on VRBO, and get an answer that they’d get back to me… and nothing. The front desk people said they had no idea about things inside the unit, that it was up to the owner, and just wanted us to pay for the $154 parking fee. And you also have to download a separate app for Maui Vacations to get any check in info. Very confusing. But that being said we loved the space and would definitely try to go here again!
No Pack n’ Play for your infant. Most places we have rented have provided one, since taking that on the plan is pretty cumbersome. I asked a week before our trip and just said they’d ask. Day of getting there I asked again, again they said they’d ask. Still waiting to hear back. But if you don’t mind co-sleeping with your infant, you can rest assured you won’t have another oops vacation baby in 9 months.
