We stayed in the other building on the property for the first 5 days and moved to this one the last 3..this unit was by far cleaner, nicer furniture and well stocked. Would definitely book again!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The condo was well appointed. The owners very responsive. Nice beach area and the beach chairs provided were great. Able to walk a long ways on the beach. This was our first stay in Kihei after many stays in Kaanapali and we enjoyed it very much. Would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay in Kihei and the condo surpassed our expectations. Quite large with every amenity you would need. They have thought of every detail, making our stay very comfortable. The beach gear was perfect and we brought it with us every day as we beach hopped around the whole island!

Condo amenities are exactly as described on VRBO site. This place is well maintained and there were no surprises. Beds were comfortable, A/c worked fine and although we didn't use the kitchen much, it had everything required to cook a full meal.

We had a wonderful stay here for the first four days of our Maui vacation. The amenities were nice and clean, and the location was great with easy access to the beach, the local farmers market, dining and more. Thank you!

This was our first time staying for any length of time more than one night. Beautiful condo and photos on the web listing are accurate. Located near the bustling center of Lihei yet just far enough a way for quite and less tourists. Central location for taking in the activities, restaurants, Maaleaaa, and close to the NOAA Marine Santucary Center and the Lihei fish pond. Great cultural and environmental sites. Plus a natural beach dune and public park adjacent to the property. We will be coming back!

The condo is tastefully decorated to reflect Hawaii. It's clean and modern with all you need in the kitchen. The view from the deck is perfect, over the pool to the ocean so you can watch the sunset nightly. We loved being in Kihei so close to Wailea beaches and great fish restaurants. Our only complaint which is not a reflection on this owner, is that the hot tub is full of kids and not very hot as if it is their personal bathtub.

We usually go to Oahu several times a year, but decided to switch it up to Maui. We have a 6 month old daughter who is already well travelled. The condo was exactly the same as the pictures, super clean, every amenity you’d need for your stay. Communicating with Flavia and Kelly before our stay was super easy and they were very helpful recommending where to get anything for the baby I needed. Very central location and easy to get everywhere. Thanks again!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this beautiful (decorated) condo. Everything you may need for a Maui vacation was provided along with a well-stocked kitchen. It is also in easy access to island adventures or restaurants! We definitely plan on returning!

TV in living room didn’t connect to cable TV, but has Netflix. Other TV in bedroom connected to cable TV. AC filter needs changing, especially if you have allergies which I have. One lamp in the living room didn’t work, but could have been a dead bulb. Everything else was very good!

The owners of the unit, thoughtfully provided all the essentials needed for cooking , food storage, simple condiments, coffee, filters, bedding, towels, and body soap/ shampoo. It was great! Decor was perfect ,conductive for relaxation and long balcony to relax and enjoy the breeze and ocean /pool view ( where I could watch the kiddos)

We had a great experience here! It was so easy to communicate with the hosts and they always answered back so quickly. The place was clean with beach-y decor and a comfortable bed. I liked how the curtains got rid of most of the morning light, but enough crept in to not disorient you and make it still pitch black when you wake up. We loved that there were beach toys for our toddler and an umbrella for us to borrow. Such a nice touch! We went once to the beach right outside and it was nice. The sand is a little grittier and rockier in the water, but with swim shoes, it was totally fine. We walked about 10 minutes north to Maui Fishpond and there were often sea turtles hanging around there, so that was fun to see. The location was great otherwise and there's some fantastic places to eat in Kihei. Definitely recommend staying here!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property. This is our second time staying at this complex, and would come back again. This unit was very clean, we had lots of room, and the view from the lanai was beautiful for the sunsets. We saw whales spouting and playing while we sat there enjoying it. This property had everything we needed - snorkels, beach towels, chairs, basic kitchen items. We never swam at the beach in front of the complex but walked down there a few times to enjoy the sunset a little closer to the water. Pool and hot tub were nice. There were almost always kids there.

Location was amazing, right on the beach with beach views. Impeccably clean. Pretty much everything was provided, bathrooms soaps, kitchen utensils and spices, beach supplies, linens. We did have a little trouble finding the room but it was dark and we entered from an entrance opposite the side of the condo. We didn’t use the condo complex amenities but the pool and hot tub looked very nice.

been to the islands many times but never stayed at a condo. the ambiance of the condo was excellent, but we felt on arrival it was under stocked (ex. no coffee no oil) compared to other rentals. Would probably not stay at a condo again but for the price it was excellent.

We had an excellent experience at this property. Very clean, lots of room, all the supplies you need-there was even shampp/conditioner n body wash. The view from the lanai was beautiful for the sunset n it got lots of sun during the day. You will need a car as you are a ways from stores and restaurants. The beach is a bit rocky but you can swim or just take the chairs supplied in the room and relax on the beach. We highly recommend this property.

This condo is beautifully decorated with tile floors throughout, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a walk in shower. The kitchen was well equipped and even included a Ninja blender that I used every morning. There are 3 ceiling fans and with the sliders open, I never felt the need to use the A/C. The view of the ocean is amazing. Pro's Tastefully decorated and furnished Well equipped kitchen Boogie boards, chairs and coolers provided Ocean view Very comfortable bed and very nice bed linens Close to bus stop if you can't get a rental car Nice pool and hot tub Amazing water pressure Cons I had to call owner to get door code No directions offered to find the unit late at night Inside of front door in bad need of paint Cleaning not up to par: finger prints on stainless appliances and doors leading to bedroom, grease on stove Guest book lacking information: would be nice to include a TV channel guide, the fact that the modem turns off after use and needs to be turned back on each time you want to watch TV. No info on how to use A/C.

This property was fantastic and suited our Maui vacation plans perfectly. The location of the beach just steps away was great for morning and evening walks, and was perfect for snorkeling with sea turtles! We definitely used the nice beach chairs and umbrella for afternoons at the beach and we appreciated the convenience of being able to make our own meals in the kitchen. The ocean view off the lanai was thoroughly enjoyed. We definitely enjoyed our stay here! Thank you.

My wife and I spent 4 nights here and loved it. The condo is like new, very clean and supplied with everything you could hope for. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained by a friendly staff. Located in Kihei, all beaches, hikes, stores, and and restaurants are within a easy drive. We especially enjoyed Polo Beach, Black Sand Beach, Great Beach( beach chairs and umbrella were greatly appreciated), hiking to the needle in Iao Valley, watching world class windsurfers at hookopia beach and playing a round at Maui Nui golf club. Being so close to a Safeway gives you the option of taking advantage of the well supplied kitchen or going out and trying the local restaurants, Coconuts about a 1 minute drive from the condo makes great fish tacos(thanks to the owners for the tip). Our only regret was that we moved on and spent the last three days in Maui at the Hyatt Regency at Kaanapali. As nice as the Hyatt was we did miss the condo. I would recommend this condo and look forward to our next stay.

We really enjoyed out time in this condo. View is great and the condo has been updated beautifully. Kitchen is well equipped and it was great to have access to beach chairs, coolers, etc. Everyone was very friendly, BBQ's were very busy at night and it appeared to be quite the social gathering. Easy access to a few beaches, I love walking on the beach so it was great. We would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I spent three nights at the condo and our only regret is that we couldn't have stayed for our entire trip (it was booked by someone else). It was beautiful, spacious, and had everything we could have hoped for. We cooked most of our meals at the condo, I felt that the kitchen has everything you could possibly want or need. The BBQ area is easy to access and use. The pool area was great, though having to have a key to enter and exit was a little of an inconvenience from time to time. My sister and her family were staying in a different unit in the building and having all the share space and activities/games offered from the building worked out perfectly for us. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

My wife and I have been to Maui on 4 occasions and always stayed in the Kaanapali/Kapalua region. We decided to try Kihei because of its central location. This condo was wonderful -- beautiful view of the ocean, clean, updated nice kitchen, bath and bedroom, with beautiful accents and decor. It was always so pleasant to "come home" to this nicely kept condo after a day on the beach or other activities. We particularly enjoyed the modern kitchen, ninja juicer and blender, and all the great beach stuff provided by the owners (chairs, boogie boards, cooler, umbrella etc.) The bed was comfortable, and the closet had extra beach towels, linens and blankets. We really enjoyed the complex as well which had a nice pool and hot tub, and 5 gas BBQs to cook food. The great location also allowed easy access to Lahaina/Kapalua, Wailea, Paia, and the Waihee region. We also enjoyed the more relaxed and less costly Kihei. we will definitely be back and highly recommend this condo. Our only suggestion for the owners (and this is not a big deal) is to stock a little more TP and tissue in the bathroom for parties staying a week or more. Thanks --great vacation and place to stay

Continuation of previous review that posted before I could finish! When we returned to our condo it was cleaned but we found that the dishes in the cupboard were dirty, as if someone had emptied the dishwasher without checking the dishes. We had to wash everything before we used it. So here's the positive review: the condo is spacious and tastefully remodeled and decorated. The bath and kitchen have all the amenities. The lanai is large and looks out over the lovely gardens and pool, with the ocean in the distance. It's a short walk across the lawn to the beach. There are laundry facilities on every other floor. The office staff is friendly and helpful. The condo amenities include Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella, along with boogie boards and plush beach towels. There are two large flat screen tvs in the unit. There's a wonderful Ninja blender that we loved. Despite our problems during the first day and half, I would recommend this condo. It truly is lovely and I believe we just had bad luck with the housekeeping issue. The owners were quick to remedy the situation and make things right.

This is a mixed review because our stay started out poorly. We arrived to find a filthy condo - sheets on the floor, food on the counters, a toilet that had been used and not flushed (!?). The owners answered our call on the first ring and housekeeping was called to remedy the problem. We had to vacate for three hours while the condo was cleaned which was a big imposition since we had bags of groceries with us. We had planned to cook dinner in the condo but had to dine out instead. The owner offered to pay for our meal and is mailing us a check for $200. I consider this fair and appreciate the gesture. Upon our return we

We had an excellent stay at this vacation rental. The unit was beautifully furnished, spotless, in excellent condition, and the kitchen was modern and well-equipped. The ocean view from the lanai was outstanding--every bit as as good as was claimed. We enjoyed many gorgeous sunsets from the lanai. We also made great use of the box of beach gear that was provided: the beach chairs, umbrella, etc.--it was great to have all of that available right there in the rental unit for us to use. The location is quite good: it was close to a shopping center that had several good restaurants, as well as grocery stores that made it easy for us to equip for our vacation. It is also right on the main drag in Kihei, making it easy to drive to beaches in Wailea. Being in North Kihei is also an advantage for getting to the Road to Hana and other places around Maui--all in all, it is a very central location to stay. The Kauhale Makai office staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had an excellent stay. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Kihei!

Thanks to your family for sharing this great condo with us! We loved the place and all the extra amenities that were provided, especially the added bonus of beach chairs, beach towels and the cooler. We awoke each morning to a walk on the beach, a sunny breakfast on the lanai, packed our lunch in the cooler and headed off to the many beaches. Kitchen was probably one of the best equipped one we have found in our many years of travel through VRBO and loved having use of ice packs, plastic containers and condiments/spices. Days ended with cocktails again on the lanai, or at the beach in front of the condo enjoying the sunset. We never did get a chance to try the Bar BQ facilities (although smelled the great aromas from others using it) as there were just too many great restaurants we had to try out. The bed was so comfortable and we found this place a perfect getaway for the both of us! By the way, we found the concierge at the condo front desk very helpful as well. Next time we come, it will definitely be more than a week. Hope to rent from you again!
