Overall I would stay here again, we stayed for 6 days in November 2022.
Pros:
-Great view and proximity to beach. You can walk out to the ocean directly from your room. This is hard to beat! There are people snorkeling right off this beach and we spotted at least 5 turtles during our stay. We even got a double rainbow one morning.
-Kitchen was FULLY stocked with various appliances, pots/pans, coffeemaker, etc.
-Good location, about 10-15 minutes from Lahaina area and not far from North Shore. Kihei is about 30 minutes away.
-LOVE waking up and listening to the ocean sounds.
-The provided beach towels, coolers/ice block, and beach chairs were super handy and nice to have for various excursions. The chairs even had pockets for towels and such.
Cons:
-There is no pool, we were fine with this because we were hoping there wouldn't be any loud kids. Well, you are directly next to another complex that has a pool right by the side of your place, complete with screaming kids in the pool at 6 am.
-This place is pretty bare-bones and could use some creature comforts. For example, the showers never got hot, no coffee was provided, they only gave us 2 rolls of toilet paper, and when we arrived there were only 2 beach towels and no other towels. The owner had someone bring us towels but it wasn't that many towels.
-Rooms are pretty small, not a lot of room for suitcases and such.
-Because your room faces the ocean/beach and the lawn area with beach chairs, you have very little privacy. The other condo tenants are walking by and grilling right outside your door. There are curtains and you can still open the vents to hear the ocean and get the breeze though.
-There is a table right outside your room but the beach chairs in front of those (towards the ocean) aren't necessarily yours, since there are more condo units than beach chairs. So at the more popular times, you can't sit outside on the lawn chairs because they're occupied.
All in all, this is an amazing place to stay and I'd definitely come back. I may consider staying at a unit on the upper floor though, because of the privacy issue downstairs. However, walking out into the ocean is pretty cool too. I would recommend this place for 2 adults + 2 small kids, but not more than that.
