First time staying here. The bedroom has a glass sliding door, not a window. Leaving that open during the day is not an option, and certainly not at night, as the door opens out to the hallway where everyone accesses their condo. Using the AC unit is a must in the bedroom because of this. View from door/window is of the stairwell door.
The kitchen has been remodeled. Lots of dishes. I did run ALL the dishes through the dishwasher before we left, as the first 4 glasses I took from the cupboard had hardened SAND in the bottom. Did someone take them to the beach to make sandcastles? It is not the job of the maid to clean dishes, but the people renting the condo! We just hand washed any dishes we used while we were there. Small appliances, while we didn't use them, included a slow cooker, blender, rice cooker, and a coffee grinder.
Lots of towels and extra sheets, but no beach towels supplied. Toys were minimal. 2 boogie boards, an umbrella and 2 beach chairs. Beach chairs need replacing. I did use one, but 2 of the 4 straps are missing.
Washer/dryer in the unit, with soap for 1 load. They do ask that you stay in the condo when using the machine.
In February the sun does not hit the lanai of this unit at any point during the day. Lanai furniture is adequate, and we ate out there every meal. The sofabed in the living room needs replacing. My daughter would not sleep on it, even with it on the floor. Too much metal in the mattress. She risked sleeping with a snoring mom rather than use that bed. Sitting on it isn't much better. Sink in the center, or lean to the middle if you sit on the ends.
Two bathrooms in the condo, one is just a shower, one in the bedroom has a bath. The sink is in the main bedroom part, and that was handy. Great water pressure in the showers.
Pool is big, lots of chairs and loungers. Always a cooler full of ice water there as well, and that was great.
You do not get a code for the condo until arrival time. We had issues with our flight, and didn't arrive at the Maui Sunset until 3:30 in the morning. But we were able to find the black phone, and were very relieved to hear a voice at the other end, given the late hour. You need to register with the office in the morning though, and get a parking pass.
Maui Sunset has a great program where you can take any leftover food to the office, and they donate it to charity.
