Penthouse - Direct Beach access- Ocean View/ Sunset/ Pool/ Roof-top BBQ

Joe was very communicative and shared great recommendations. Property was exactly as described

Here is an honest review of this condo. We had rented two condos in the same building as we had a few family members on vacation with us.Things that were lovely on this property: the view is amazing, general property was nice, had a great pool for the kids with lots of chairs, had front access to a great beach you could snorkel and swim in, it was quiet and clean and spacious for four people. Things that were not so great:AC temp couldn't be controlled and couldn't be controlled by room, it had a timer onlyPatio door was old, broken and falling off the tracks all the timePatio furniture way too bigBroken storage box outside, which is also an eye soreOutdatedNo beach towelsSmell in freezerSilverware and dishes not matching and sufficient for family of four, this was really frustrating as there were four forks ... 2 big and 2 small. This is a really small thing they should have ensured was sufficientPots and pans extremely old and worn, again cheap to fixDoor had no door stop so you couldn't keep it openScreen door wouldn't closeDrawers did not open and close smoothly, very stickyWasher and dryer were so loud that you could not watch TV or sleep while it was running Again, lots of these thing were fixable should the owners choose to do so. In fairness, we had contacted Joe to fix the doors etc. He was able to come out a few days later to help us with the doors but a few days is a lot of days into a vacation.

Property is a little older but it is still beautiful. Had some trouble obtaining a parking pass. The office is open very limited hours and we were already out the door each day before it opened. They were closed when we returned. A few notes were left on our car even though we followed the requests of after hours parking. Had to change one days plan to get a parking pass. That was a bummer.

Condo was very clean and what was expected on the listing. Ocean view from lanai was spectacular.

We love this location!! The beach is wonderful and not crowded. The grounds are immaculately maintained. Condo was well equipped. We will be back again!

Great location. Needs updating. Comfort was an issue. The temperature could not be controlled. AC was on a timer and could only be on or off. There were a few standing fans but 2 were filthy and noisy. I always treat others homes with respect and I realize this is not the case for everyone. However, the list of rules was overwhelming. Some of the rules made me feel like I was moving into a nursing home.

Beautiful views with great building amenities. Loved the BBQ's right by the pool / shuffleboard as well as the roof top. Beds + bedding were all very comfortable and great quality, as were all the linens. The couch + lanai furniture were also very comfortable. Nicely decorated with lovely Hawaiian photographs and shells. Our host Joe was easy to get a hold of with the few minor questions we had as the check in / out process was made extremely easy with the informative email. The second bedroom worked very well for our 2 teen agers with the two single beds. Mahalo!

Pros: - Great view - Has AC, but it’s on a timer Cons: - Ants in kitchen - 2nd bedroom smells like mildew - 5th person sleeps on couch (no pull-out bed) - Beach is rocky and water is murky, but that’s not the condo’s fault. You’ll need to drive if you want to hang out on the beach. - Had to air out the condo when we first arrived, smelled so bad (heavily perfumed cleaning products) - Master Bed is very uncomfortable

Property was well kept quiet and great access to beach. Bonus was enjoying daily sunning of turtles on the beach and rocks. Beautiful 360’ view on rooftop. This condo is not a penthouse as described, does have an ocean view but photos have been cleverly staged.

Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay during our time on Maui. Unit 624 was perfect for our family vacation, celebrating 25 years of marriage with my wife and spending spring break with our twin 16 year old boys. The location was perfect as it was centrally located to all of our planned activities. The unit was clean and provided all of the conveniences of home. The beach was easily accessible however, it is more for walking and viewing than for water activities as it is located in a shallow area - perfect for little kids though! The owner was easy to communicate with and always responded in a timely manner from start to finish. Our only recommendation is to update the secondary bathroom.
