We (two parents and a toddler) stayed in this wonderful condo for our week long stay on Maui. We were drawn to it by the affordable price, the view and the second bedroom. The view was wonderful to wake up to and finding a condo with a second bedroom was the best decision we could have made with the toddler. It was so nice to have him be able to take naps and go to bed early while we still used the common areas.
The condo was perfectly clean. The beds were comfortable. The decor wasn’t the most modern, but it is well cared for. The kitchen was huge and fully equipped. We loved the espresso maker as there weren’t any decent coffee options in the area.
At first, we were disappointed in the location as there are no beaches that are really great for swimming, snorkeling or boogie boarding within walking distance and its not the most beautiful area surrounding the condo. But within a couple of days, we loved being able to drive a reasonably short distance to both Kihei and Wailea to the south, or west to Lahaina and Ka’anapali area. We could hit all those in one day if we wanted. We had friends staying at the same time in Napili, and while their condo was on the beach, it was much smaller and they were really limited to the west and Lahaina, unless they wanted to drive an hour or more. We were also able to make it over to Paia for an hour or two, as it was only about a twenty minute drive and a fun town to explore.
The best part of the location for us was that it was walking distance to the aquarium. It’s expensive to get in, but we bought week passes for not much more than a day pass. This was the highlight of my son’s trip. We went three times and it never got old for him.
It is a pretty windy area and it was extra windy the week we were there, but it keeps the condo cool without having to use the A/C. The grounds and pool were very clean as well.
This was the perfect condo for our family for this trip and really met all our needs. It felt like home after only one or two nights. Thank you for sharing it with us.
