The location is this property's main appeal. The building itself is getting a little run down and could use new outside carpets and doors, especially the screen doors. The unit was spotlessly clean and had everything one could need to be self sufficient for the mon/th I was there. Also, there is a lot to be said for waking up to the sun rise and watching it go down from the lanai every day as well as waking and sleeping to the sound of the waves. And I loved the ensuite laundry. Having said that, the unit is a little bland. It could use a coat of paint and some .upgrading, especially the kitchen. There are holes in the lanai screen and the air conditionner could use a good cleaning outside as all the vents are full of dust. Also, the beach towels had holes and frayed hems and the beach chairs were so uncomfortable, I had to rent one. I called Maalaea Rentals for information on turning off the living room ceiling fan and I never heard back from them nor did they let me know how to clean the stove top, another question I had. Having said all that, I would recommend it to someone on a budget but would not stay in that unit again myself.
