The unit was clean upon arrival but the walls had peeling wallpaper and were dirty and/or scuffed in numerous spots. The unit has clearly NEVER been remodeled - everything is original from 1970's and the furniture reminded us of the furniture used on the "Golden Girls" tv show. One review said it was "retro", which we agree, its clearly old school decor. The master bed was horrible, and we both experienced back problems through-out the stay due to it. Our kids said there beds were super uncomfortable as well.
There was evidence of insect issues with ant and bug traps everywhere and the couple dead cockroaches we found. We didn't have to deal with the insects, but all the old/dead ones tells us this unit has an issue.
The dishwasher is 40 years old (original) and doesn't clean the dishes well at all, so we had to really wash by hand and then run them again. The carpet throughout is completely worn out and is so filthy you want to wear your shoes inside, even the bathrooms have carpet, yuk! The unit is located right on a busy road making it every loud on the Lanai and at night trying to sleep.
It was in a great location for us as we were close to our friends staying in another unit (that was completely remodeled and so much nicer), but not exactly sure it was worth the price paid. I highly recommend against booking this unit, it falls way below the standards that you come to expect from a unit in Wailea.
A/C is a joke. First of all, there is no A/C on main level. So if you expect to use the bed downstairs, be prepared to hot all night. Upstairs the units do provide some cooling but still really hot, so crank the fans up to high and hope by 3am you are cool enough to use blankets and feel comfortable.
This unit is very far walk from the main/kids pool and the beach. There is a smaller pool closer, but not nearly as fun and its considered a "quiet pool", rendering it useless as we have a loud 9 year old. The ONLY redeeming quality of the stay was that unit has everything you need from a kitchen, laundry and multiple bathrooms point of view (compared to other VRBO/rentals we have used over the years around the U.S.).
Don't be tricked by the perfect photos, the unit is old old old. The unit feels small and crowded. The Lanai is useless. The unit is hot and the A/C is useless. The furniture and decor screams 70's and 80's.
