We were satisfied with the property, and it was clean and the owners were very responsive. But in no way should this be described as a penthouse, or a premium property. The location is excellent! Right on the ocean, and located in the part of Maui that is the best place to stay, IMO. The condo was clean and well stocked. The owners go to great lengths to make sure guests have the extras needed to enjoy their vacation. In all, our experience was very good.
However, I do think it is important to give reasonable and accurate reviews, and there are several reasons why I don’t consider this premium. First, this is an older unit with older appliances and furnishings. The downstairs bedroom mattress was, IMO, FAR too soft. I slept upstairs and the mattress was acceptable, but not premium in any way. The unit has no AC, which is disclosed. Not a problem for us in early May, and I suspect it’s fine year round. But it can get a little warm. The breeze is amazing, and sleeping to the sounds of the ocean was wonderful.
The complex only allows smoking in the parking lot. There are a few chairs there, but it seems that they could arrange the far North part of the beach to allow guests to enjoy a cigar there in the evening. Could be a pro or a con, depending on the individual.
Overall our stay was nice, and I would recommend the unit for most folks. But I would think most would agree that the only thing premium is the location, and the thoughtfulness and attention given by owner
