The view was great and this provided a fine 'base' for us to explore south Maui. A few things about the property do need attention: (1) closets and porch are filled with junk, random trash bags of stuff, assorted beach gear, two patio tables, 8 chairs, a drying rack, empty cartons and boxes - no space! The closets and porch were not especially useable because of this. Our kids had to keep their suitcases/clothes in TV room because there wasn't any space for them in their room. (2) the window AC unit is located on the far end of the unit, next to a shutter-style window that doesn't close fully, so the cold air is blowing straight out the window. It's hot, especially the twin bed room. (3) The bedrooms and main room are open-air connected - note open space above doors. This helps with the heat, but it means there is no sound separation among rooms because its essentially one large loft room with walls only 90% to ceiling. (4) The pool/yard gate situation is self-locking. This means a kid could be locked into the pool area and not be able to get out. It also meant that our family had to do everything together, or be locked out of the beachfront/pool area. I was happy with management's responses, when I mentioned points (1) and (4) and gave us another key. The water was also shut off during our stay, but I think that was a roadwork issue beyond anyone's control.
In sum, this property has potential and could be fantastic with some small investment and a few changes.
