I didn’t want to write this review because I want to be able to rent this condo again and I’m afraid that it’s going to be hard to rent it as more people experience it.
The location is amazing and the pictures do not do it justice to the view of the ocean.. I would stay at this condo whether I saw whales or not because of the price, convenience, and views. Now about the whales, I’m reviewing this during the High part of whale season. My actual experience was couldn’t look off the balcony Without saying either a blow hole, Tail, or breaching whale within 3 minutes. Many were in the distance and sometimes hard to see without binoculars (which actually there is a pair in the condo, but bring an extra pair if you have one to avoid fights with your companion,) Some were close enough to see detail, but you won’t see any coming up to your balcony to be petted, , And I strongly suggest that if you have a camera with a good telephoto lens to bring and you’ll get amazing shots. If you don’t have a camera I suggest you beg, borrow or steal one from a friend (but if you end up stealing one I would suggest that Cheryl counts the towels before you leave) I was here for a wedding with a lot of my family, and most of them stayed at the Westin which was about $800 or more night depending on the view. For that kind of money all they got was a basic room and some with a decent ocean view, and the whales were just as far away from their hotel as the condo and from other locations I visited Also, my family was very jealous about what I got for about a quarter of the price and they all will be renting condos in the future. The fact they were in a hotel room and they had to eat out most of their meals cost a pretty penny (Lincoln was a good looking guy) , and if you see prices in Maui you’re going to realize that it’s very expensive. Having a kitchen will save you a lot of money. Hotel are not a place to hang out during my free time but I could sit on the balcony and watch the whales and the occasional turtle (the turtles were very close by) and just enjoy the ocean sound and location and beach, and pool -That seemed to be heated.
There is a small private beach to the right of the condo which was not crowded at all (the opposite of my families experience at the Westin) Also I saw plenty of rainbows out the balcony. The place was clean and large and very comfortable. The bed was great and she has an A/C unit. Cheryl cares that you have the best time
