Though this property is not close to shops and restaurants, it is central in location as far as driving to those places as well as the airport, Lahaina, and Kihei spots. This particular condo does not have ocean view. Instead, it is facing the parking lot, both front and back. Easy access when carrying heavy items (groceries/luggages/etc), just beside the stairway (there is no elevator, as described). Coastguard Beach is an easy walk to the back and Haycraft Park can be accessed through the beach (very short walk). There were a lot of tents (staying overnight though the park says no camping), though it was clean. There are lots of turtles (you can see their heads bobbing up and down with the waves) on this beach though I was not able to snorkel as I am not a strong swimmer and too scared of the surf (I heard that it is a high surf week when we went though the last day we were there, the surf seemed very mild). There were people who were more comfortable than I was in the water. You cannot see sunrise/sunset in this part of the beach unless you walk to Haycraft Park for sunrise (right of the water is east).
The condo was very clean when we got there. The king bed and queen sofa bed were comfortable, just right for the 4 of us (adults). The sheets were soft and silky, the pillows soft. One of the sliding louver bedroom door had a broken track roller when we came which the property manager knew about (she gave us the option of having it fixed right away but we told them it was okay to fix it after we left).
The lanai faced a parking lot shaded by a gorgeous huge tree where birds chirped musically every morning (I love waking up to that sound). The water pressure was good. The bathroom had no vent (or at least I didn't see a vent switch) and the jalousy did not open.
The kitchen had all necessary pots and pans/blender/rice cooker/tools. The vent cover had fallen off when I opened the microwave (which property manager offered to fix right away as well).
Provided as well were beach chairs, noodles and boogie boards, as well as coolers for beach trips!
There is a laundry area on the first floor as well as the second floor (need quarters).
Parking, though not assigned, was not hard to find and the area felt safe. Parking spots accommodates mostly small cars.
The condo complex itself is clean and well-maintained on the outside. The small semi-circular pool is at the back of the condo facing the Ocean. Very nice view. No hot tubs.
