This home was clean and stocked with everything needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend this place. It a close drive to stores and everywhere you’ll want to go. Sugar beach is a short walk away. I will come here again. I’m so pleased with my stay here.

Great view, convenient location, very responsive host. Only drawback is the space is a little bit warm even with the AC on high.

Host was great. Had a couple of questions for him and he followed up immediately. Views are great, condo was great.

This is my favorite spot on Maui. The view is great, I see turtles every day, and the pool is great for my grandkids.

The stay was as expected overall. The fans and breeze at night made it ok in the bedroom, since running the AC in the front room has little affect in the bedroom. We just used the AC to cool it down in the morning.There are plenty of items to use here for outings and kitchen, although we did not really need much. Our stay was the tail end of living on Maui for 3 years, so we were not the typical vacationers.

After living on Maui for 3 years, we just needed a place to stay for the last few nights. We chose this area because of the central location and ocean front.There is no central air so the back bedroom stays very warm. Fortunately there was a good breeze and we skipped the AC at night and let the air blow through, using the AC just too cool it down while relaxing in the main room.There are plenty of items to use in the kitchen and for activities.

Room is clean and has what you need to make your stay confortable. If you are here during whale watching season, you will have an excellent view of the bay. Sugar Beach is a short distance away. We walk a half mile to our favorite spot. We did have a chance to see a young female Monk seal. Walmart, Costco, Chick-fil-A, and Krispy Kreme are close. The Aquarium is close. We do that on check out day, because we usually have a late flight out. Ron & Shirley have a nice home and are residents of the island to help you out if the need arises. Like extending our stay. We have been to other beaches, but we like Sugar Beach the best. We like to collect tiny shells. Sometimes it flat and great for shelling other times it is better for riding the waves. It is a great spot on the island. You are close to a lot, and secluded from tons of tourists. You won't be disappointed on the location or the condo. Both are great!

That said, there were a few drawbacks. The unit felt smaller than it appeared in the photos, and the building was somewhat difficult to find. The host uses a separate check-in system instead of VRBO’s built-in process, requiring you to use a link sent by text and email. If you accidentally delete the message, retrieving the information can be frustrating. When I reached out for assistance, the responses felt automated and simply directed me back to the same link.Because the parking instructions were not included in the VRBO listing, I had to park on the street the first night. The air conditioner is a small, noisy unit in the living room that takes quite a while to cool the bedroom, although opening the windows provides a pleasant breeze. I was also surprised that no shampoo was provided, which was inconvenient after arriving late at night.Overall, it’s a nice place with a great view, but considering the size, amenities, and check-in experience, I felt it was overpriced.The condo is in a beautiful, quiet location with a gorgeous view. Overall, it was clean and comfortable.

This was an amazing home right in the beach. We were in Maui for our honeymoon and this home had everything we needed. Be aware though that the reviews are true about the bedroom not having AC. We had 4 fans and it was still very warm and humid. But overall we would rent again, it was perfect. Thank you!!!
