Perfect location! We visited in January, so we sat on the lanai for hours, with our binoculars, watching the mother humpbacks with their babies. Green sea turtles feed very close to the sea wall, you can pull up a lounge chair on the grass and watch them for hours too. It is an easy walk to the Maalaea harbor for boat trips, and a few stores. A quick drive to many popular areas of the island. Comfortable furniture, well stocked kitchen, good decor. Condo was very clean and appeared well maintained. There is no air conditioner, Maalaea is known for being windy. Our week here saw unusual weather, there was hardly a breeze during the day, it did cool off nicely as soon as the sun set. Even with the window and door open and the ceiling fans and a floor fan running, the condo did get very warm as soon as the sun rose above Haleakala, about 8am. We had to pull the drape closed, to block the sun, and unfortunately our view, to be somewhat comfortable. Whenever we left the condo, we pulled the drape closed and kept the window cracked. It is also a bit of a longer walk to the beach than we realized, you have to walk along the road, not along the water. This is the only easy area to get into the sea near the condo. We loved our stay at the condo and will cherish our memories of watching the whales from the lanai, and seeing turtles. It has a million dollar view! We would have absolutely loved the condo itself, if either there had been a cooling breeze, or if there had been an air conditioner. We are thankful for our stay, but we were not as comfortable as we would have liked. Thank you very much for allowing us to vacation at this lovely location!
