Maui memories
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/16/07
What we liked about this 24 unit condo was it's location(sort of out of the way from the main tourist drag), it was quiet-off the S. Kehei Rd traffic, and the views from the lanai, or walk across the 150 yards of grass to the ocean for a walk or whale watch. Warned to stay out of water at this area due to pollution from nearby drainage ditch. "Old Menehune Ponds" where Hawaiians constructed fish ponds are near. In fact this is the second time we have stayed here. It has it pluses. We had a 2 bedroom unit for my wife, myself, 2 sons ages 21 and 15. Could have slept another 2 in fold out bed. Unit had 2 AC units, fans, phone, fully equiped kitchen, TV and our unit had wifi for our laptop to connect to. Tennis courts, small pool, gas BBQ grill(though not working at 100% during our visit). Prices here very reasonable, especially compared to other places we have stayed at on Maui. This is a good value.
Where you can run into a problem is that each unit may be rented/managed by a different person/company. We rented ours for 8 nights(we thought-had sent all money in, etc) only to receive a call shorly before our 4,500 flight informing us it was, only for 7 nights. With no bargaining power or leverage you are forced to take it or leave it. So we had to check out by 10am, wait around to 3pm to check into a different hotel...meanwhile keeping an eye on our car full of luggage. Wasted, in my opinion, a large portion of a vacation day. But , that said, the condo can sure be a nice place to stay and be based at while visiting Maui. We'd love to go back. On site managers were great, good beds, convenient location.
