The location and view are wonderful! Although there's no beach off the lanai anymore. Sadly, it's completely eroded and replaced with sandbags now.
Also, after the tragedy in Lahaina there aren't many businesses open nearby, but we supported the ones that were as much as possible. All of Maui is one big family, so no matter where you stay or shop, you are supporting Lahaina.
It's been stated before in several reviews that this place could use a thorough cleaning, organizing and some TLC. It really can! The kitchen is overflowing with extras of everything (who needs 4 collanders??) and the closets are full of junk, so guests have no room to store luggage or hang clothes. The dishwasher wasn't working properly, and judging by some of the food stuck to dishes in the cupboard, hadn't been for awhile.The mattresses may have been new 10 years ago, but they are old and stained now. And the foam topper on the master bedroom mattress has 2 deep craters and a hump in the middle. The Maid Service and Maintenance are excellent, they just need time between bookings to do their jobs. We are grateful to them for fixing several things during our stay.
The condo would have been 31/2 stars if maintenance hadn't been available.
We enjoyed exploring the island, eating and shopping, but we enjoyed whale watching off the lanai most of all.
Thank you to the host, and we hope he will give our review some consideration.
