Clean & Green Sleep Suite Beyond Luxury to Vibrance
Thank you so much for considering A502 Maui Sunset for your Time, Energy and Money. With the Internet bringing access to so many wonderful and exotic holiday destinations, and with time and funds so precious, we do appreciate your taking the time to visit your Maui home-away-from-home.


We don't like one-size-fits-all for our vacations, so we ask your preference about some things specific to your Maui stay
1. Do you prefer Still water or Sparkling?
2. If you enjoy chocolate, do you prefer Dark or Milk chocolate?
3. Do you prefer Sweet, Salty, Sour, Spicy, Neutral or all flavors?
4. Do you prefer the scent of Mint, Citrus, Lavender, Flowers or would you prefer Pure Unscented?
5. Do you have a favorite color (or two)?




We firmly believe that the better you sleep, the better you time, so we have created your Clean & Green Sleep Suite:
We've gone five steps beyond luxury to allow you the sleep you like best:
1. sheets and bedding
2. lighting and darkness options
3. Himalayan salt lamp available
4. temperature range
5. cleaning scent: chemical-free or a choice of Mint or Citrus or Lavender or Tropical flowers essential oils
For much more information about these five topics, skip and read below.






Maui Sunset is lovingly maintained. A502 is located on the top floor with direct access from 2 elevators and 2 sets of stairs. The great views from your lanai (balcony) include sunsets over the ocean and sunrises over the majestic Haleakala Volcano. It has an inside washer & dryer, an iron and ironing board. The full kitchen, with mostly organic spices, is equipped with a full size refrigerator, 4 sealed burners, a full sized oven, a blender, a microwave & a coffee maker. With the other small kitchen appliances and tools, you have everything you might need, except for the food, for takeout, a quick snack or a multi-coursed feast. If you prefer barbecue there are 6 propane barbecue grills, topped up every morning, visible from your lanai (balcony).

You have Free WiFi, Free High Speed Broadband Internet, and Free Cable TVviewable from the bedroom, kitchen & living room.
Additional linens, towels, a complementary starter set of laundry soap and dish washing detergent are all provided.
There are 4 beach chairs, a beach umbrella with a sturdy travel bag, large beach towels, 2 boogie boards, and 3 different sized ice coolers.

The Maui Sunset is an oceanfront resort that retains the aloha spirit of old Hawaii with no road, highway or other property between us, the beach and the ocean. The beautifully manicured grounds are located on 5.5 lush acres of oceanfront in Kihei. It's noted for year round sunshine, balmy trade winds, and soothing evening air. Average daytime temperature in summer is 85ā„‰ / 29ā„ƒ, in winter 78ā„‰ / 26ā„ƒ; night time temperatures are approximately 10ā„‰ / 5ā„ƒ lower than daytime. It is one of the driest and sunniest areas on the entire island, averaging only 10 inches of rain a year!


We have a friendly Concierge service, free private parking and on site security.
With a view of the ocean, the large 60 foot heated "L" swimming pool is maintained between 81- 84ā„‰ (27 - 29ā„ƒ). It's open 8:00am-10:00pm daily with hot tub at 102ā„‰ (39ā„ƒ) and tiki torches. The very helpful, pool side activities desk will lend equipment for shuffleboard, croquet, the golf putting green, pickleball & the tennis courts. We have a wonderful workout room with great lighting, 8 Matrix machines, and a full set of free weights. The activities desk will offer suggestions, sometimes with discounts, for activities, restaurants and sightseeing to help you have the best stay. It's 5 blocks to major shopping: restaurants, shops, supermarkets, drug stores and souvenirs can be reached on foot.


As we said earlier we firmly believe that the better your sleep, the better your vacation, so your Clean & Green Sleep Suite goes five steps beyond luxury to allow you the sleep you like best:

1. Sheets, Bedding & degrees of firmness:
To go "beyond luxury", I learned that as consumers increasingly demand natural products, some companies manipulate the term ā€˜organicā€™ when labeling their textiles. Fibers grown organically ā€“ but processed with toxic chemicals ā€“ may still carry the organic label. ā€˜Wrinkle freeā€™ or ā€˜permanent pressā€™ labels should also be avoided because manufacturers treat these fabrics with formaldehyde resin, a toxic chemical.
What I learned caused me to buy all the bedding that touches my skin and yours from Parachutehome.com. They are all, also certified as lacking in the harmful substances, monitored by Oeko-Tex certification and REACH protocol requirements. These are chemicals prohibited or regulated by law which are known to be harmful to human health.
All of our bedding from Parachute Home exceeds both Oeko-Tex certification and REACH protocol requirements.
Our queen sized bed is covered by a Memory Foam mattress topper. So, if you prefer a firmer mattress, just take off the topper, roll it and stand it up in the corner of the bedroom.

2. Pillow choices:
Three sets of different kinds of pillows allows you to have your favorites or to develop a new favorite.

3. Lighting and Darkness options:
Some of us like to sleep in total darkness; some of us don't and both choices await you: The Clean & Green Sleep Suite has double blackout curtains, blackout covers for the TV, the alarm clock, the air conditioner LED panel, and the extension cord with USB ports should you choose complete darkness.
Alternatively, there are night lights which you can use should you choose.

4. Temperature Range:
As we said earlier: average daytime temperature in summer is 85ā„‰/29ā„ƒ, in winter 78ā„‰/26ā„ƒ; nighttime temperatures are approximately 10ā„‰/5ā„ƒ lower than daytime.
If you wish it warmer, extra blankets are available.
If cooler suits you: there is an air conditioner, a ceiling fan and free standing fans.
5. Cleaning : chemical-free or a choice of Peppermint, Citrus, Lavender, or Flower essential oils:
We clean the bedding, curtains and surfaces with Seventh Generation and Ecos products. We clean the carpet "Green." If you'd prefer we will add one of our essential oils to the process.


And, as the name suggests, Maui Sunsets has among the best sunsets anywhere.
I look forward to the possibility of assisting you to have a relaxing, exciting, and memorable time here.

Mahalo,
Arlene.

Great location on the island. Easy access to main roads. Unit fully equipped with all necessities. Host and hostess were very responsive. Nice personal touch with a fruit basket and snacks upon our arrival. Highly recommend. Complex is older but nicely kept up. Access to beach was great.

Arlene is the consummate hostā€”easy to communicate with, has supplied everything you will need to stay in or pack up and spend the day at a Maui swimming beach. She even supplied us with a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit and treats! Beach on the property is great to walk in the water with shoes and fabulous for viewing the sunset. You can walk on the backroads to breakfast in the morning. The property is quiet, sits on an expansive lawn with well maintained gardens and the pool is close. There was ample parking. We loved our time there! If you are a large person, you may find the bathrooms tight.

Everything was perfect for our first trip to Maui. Great views from a relaxing environment, we canā€™t wait to come back!

Absolutely loved the place, Great location close to many beaches. Grounds were well kept and even better equipped. Arlene gave us personal touches throughout the condo she customized to make us feel at home. The supplied beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc were invaluable to us all having a perfect getaway. We would definitely stay here again

Arlene was just fabulous, welcoming, organized, and magical! The unit was perfectly appointed, impeccably clean, comfortable, with gorgeous mountain and ocean views. Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you for a beautiful visit!



April 2023
The condo is very pleasant! The bed is especially wonderful and the hosts chose expensive linens and SIX pillows - even one particularly ā€œfirmā€ one . That was very thoughtful! Two bathrooms and a well planned supply of kitchen utensils, silverware and dishes. Very tasteful decorations, comfortable couch and a TERRIFIC reclining chair in the living room; set perfectly in front of a TV that had cable and all the channels. I felt safe at all times and made friends with other women down by the pool. There was , by chance, a daily AA meeting at noon only steps away from my door . The meeting location was even noted as ā€œMaui Sunsetā€ as location ! I doubt that my hosts, Arlene and Joseph even knew that but I did share that info with them. All in all, a perfect place and I can imagine a family of three or four being very comfy there. Mustā€™ve been thought out that way as there were an ample number of beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. I didnā€™t need it, but the sofa could open up to a double bed!

From the moment I booked the condo Arlene made the experience delightful. She communicated often and when I arrived the entire home was perfectly appointed. It was the best hosting Iā€™ve ever had, she and her husband made my stay so delightful I never wanted to leave. Aside from exemplary hosts, the condo was idealā€”the location is central to the whole island with views of both the volcano peak and priceless sunsets on the ocean from your balcony. The staff and services available are another level of support to make your time stay a dream come true. I canā€™t wait to come back!

Old but nice . A little cramped but ok . TV was terrible. Maybe my fault . Didnā€™t have instructions on how to operate . Volume up to 100 and still couldnā€™t hear it. But overall we really enjoyed

Arlene is such a delight! She is in communication with you before and during to make sure all your questions are addressed!! Maui Sunset is a great property located on the beach - it is well maintained and A502 is wonderful also located on the top floor! We definitely will be backā€¦someday!!

I liked the area (Kihei) and the condo complex. Many activities available and an enforced quiet time at night. Condo was clean and owner provided necessities and a wonderful array of fresh fruit at check-in. The beach furniture and towels were a definite plus. Owner was very accessible and always friendly.

What a wonderful property! We loved all the special touches. The fruit basket was a wonderful surprise. Although it seems small, the brita filter was such a welcome addition. I hate purchasing bottled water and not having to was great. Communication with Arlene was easy and she was very responsive and caring. Overall an excellent experience.

Arlene is one of the best VRBO property owners I have worked with. The fruit and snack basket is such a welcome treat after hours of flying!

Weā€™ve stayed in a lot of Vrbos over the years. This is not the most high-end place we have stayed, but it is absolutely one of the best places we have stayed. Arlene was amazing to work with throughout the process. She and her husband put some wonderful touches and details throughout to make the stay as perfect as possible. Others have mentioned the fruit and snack tray that Arlene leaves. It is every bit as fabulous as it sounds. There was also water that was perfect for us - a couple of bottles of sparkling water for my husband and a pitcher (like a Brita) of filtered water for me. Iā€™m not sure Iā€™ve ever stayed somewhere that has had a filtered pitcher before. Having that perfect filtered water throughout my stay helped make it so much better. There were so many other small, yet very significant, things that added value as well. In addition to more typical things, Arlene left cotton balls, clothes to remove makeup, nail polish remover, and even bathroom scales. Donā€™t worry - they are tucked in cabinets so you donā€™t need to see them or think about weight if you do not want to. Prior to our stay here, we spent a couple of days in a Vrbo condo on Oahu. As I normally do, I was grumbling to my husband about these places never having any anti-slip features in showers/tubs. But of course, Arlene left an anti-slip mat in the shower. There are also soft-close toilet seats in the bathrooms. We have these at home, so I have a hard time remembering when I travel that I canā€™t just drop the lid. At this condo, I didnā€™t have to worry about that. Others have mentioned the beach supplies - chairs, coolers, etc. Those are wonderful and of a high quality. The bed is also amazing as well as being able to get the bedroom pretty dark. The resort is, again, not the most high-end resort, but it is still absolutely wonderful. Check-in was a breeze and the staff were very friendly. Parking was not a problem at all. The elevators worked very well. Other guests and residents were very nice and friendly. The pool and hot tub were maintained very well. The two condo buildings have a large grassy area in between them with grills, some plants, and plenty of space to walk around, for kids to play, lawn games, etc. In the evenings this makes an excellent gathering spot for watching sunsets. Be sure to walk down to the beach at sunset. A few of the residents make this extra special. Thanks for sharing your condo Arlene! It was our best Vrbo yet!

The condo was nice and the pool facilities with the rentals were great. It was a little far from most of our activities in Lahaina and Kaanapali, but we made them all. Overall, we had a great time. Thank you Arlene, Sincerely Doug Wheelhouse

Beautifully maintained property inside and outside. Thank you to Arlene for the fruit dish and her personal touches. Would definitely stay in this unit again. Great bed and the pull out sofa was the best I have seen. The pool was large and the Maui Sunset is in a convient location to other parts of Maui.

Thank you Arlene for such a warm welcome! The fruit plater was amazing, refregerated water was just as thoughtful as can be. We loved location of the place and the convenience of having towels, chairs and umbrella in the condominium. Thank you for the carms on the fans!!! Hope to see you soon!!

Arlene is a gracious and highly communicative host from the time of booking, more than Iā€™m used to. But I never felt like I was bothering her with questions, and she made us feel like she genuinely wanted us to be able to make wonderful memories in Maui. The 5-star reviews didnā€™t disappoint, but Iā€™d give it a 4.8/4.9 overall if this form didnā€™t require 4 or 5 star choices. For example, the two air conditioners were programmable and could only be on for 4 hours max at a time. Also, upon leaving, youā€™re asked to get laundry going and do some other things to help the busy housekeepers. This isnā€™t a big deal, but was a little off-putting considering how much we paid to stay there. These and other nit-picky things are minor in the face of all the goodness; I just donā€™t take perfect reviews lightly. Overall our experience was lovely. Maui Sunset is well-maintained and provides fun activities. True to its name, we enjoyed walking out and watching the sunsets. The condo didnā€™t have the best view in the complex, but my husband, teenage daughter and I could easily see both the ocean and mountains during our daily relaxing meals on the lanai/balcony, and we were so happy with it. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and more, and the beds were comfortable. Kihei turned out to be one of the best places to stay on the island, in my op. Itā€™s centrally located & Lahaina/Wailea felt a bit more packed and touristy to us. My only criticism is the refundable security deposit vs insurance choice. We opted for the former to avoid paying extra money. But it takes so long for VRBO to reimburse you the $$$$ (>14 days) that you may get charged interest if you put it on your credit card like we did. Itā€™s supposed to be a ā€œholdā€ (typically just shows up under pending); however ours had posted as a charge, and I verified that with my credit card company. This summer weā€™re paying off the rest of our last-minute vacation balance, so that combined with the security deposit didnā€™t help. My credit card company said we could file a dispute with VRBO and possibly get the interest money back, but Im done with further hassle. I understand the logic of protecting oneā€™s investment, but I prefer the other B&B properties in which weā€™ve stayed that simply required an agreement that we would be charged after the fact if we broke something.

As most reviews have already said Arlene is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions you might have. The property is very nice and well kept. With all the people there never found the property to be to busy and was able to make use of all the anemities that we wanted. There is a beach out front but I wouldn't say its much good except for sitting and maybe playing in sand as if you go out in the water it is a very rocky and not good for swimming, but alot of other beaches around. We had a great trip only regret is we didn't stay longer. Nice touch having the fruit plate as we tried alot of things we otherwise would never have.

We had a great time during our stay in Kihei. The condo was clean and very organized. The property at Maui Sunset is beautifully maintained and my kids loved the pool and hot tub! Arlene was a fantastic host, we loved our gift basket on arrival and she was able to offer us a late check out at the last minute which was great. We would stay again!

For 2 adults who love to cook local ingredients while traveling, we were delighted to find such a well appointed condo. The kitchen had every tool and small appliance we needed, which never happens! Also, beach chairs, towels, umbrella, reef-friendly sunblock in case your forgot yoursā€¦and the most beautiful tropical fruit basket! Arlene (owner) is delightful and kindly checks in with you and then honors your privacy during your stay. As long as you donā€™t need a big space, as the unit is compact, this condo is perfect. Nice views from the lanai, too.

The Condo rocked, very comfy, near many conveniences, close to beach pool & hot tub. Gorgeous sunsets. We will be returning.! Plus the Bed was wonderful :-). To top it off I left my new Maui Jim Sunglasses, Arlene the owner was Gracious enough to send them to me in Alaska, she is a true GEM!!!

We rented this great condo for a 9 day stay in the Kihei area of Maui. This Top Floor Condo had everything we needed for a successful stay. Particularly loved the large Lanai, with glorious views of the Sunset over the Ocean Our Host provided custom extras based upon our preferences, and was responsive to our questions during the stay.

The location and Sunset view from this condo are truly amazing! Arlene was a gracious host and my family (with 2 littles) had a great time at her property over the Christmas holiday. Spacious and safe lush garden and grassy area for the kids to run free. Great value on a great property! I highly recommend Maui Sunset.

The location of the property is great with lovely views of sunsets as well as extremely close beach proximity. The host is one of the most helpful and friendliest hosts I've ever had. The condo itself is very nice and the included beach gear is high quality. I hope I have the opportunity to stay here again in the future.

We absolutely loved this property. It was everything we needed. The condo was great and Arlene was a wonderful host, very quick to reply to any questions before and during the stay. She was very thoughtful and accommodating to our request to check out late. We were welcomed by a fruit basket and many other person touches upon our arrival. The property itself is incredibly well kept. The pool and location on the beach are second to none. We hope to return one day!

We chose this property largely based on reviews about the care and attentiveness of the owners: excellent communication, hospitality, and so many thoughtful touches that made our stay carefree. From everything we would need for beach outings (chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, sunscreen, boogie boards, cooler), to a fully outfitted kitchen (including cooking basics like organic spices, and an introduction to the islandā€™s many tropical fruits), great pride has been taken in making the unit our home away from home. Super quiet, the top floor of the condo has great sunrise and sunset views along with cooling breezes. Great central location in Kihei near all the things we wanted to do. There were AC units and ceiling fans in all sleeping areas so everyone was comfortable, and the pull-out sofa couch was large enough for two adults to share. Plenty of storage space, and lots of books for reading up on local funtivities. Be sure to ask Arlene and Joseph where to get the best ice cream on the island! šŸ˜šŸ¦

Property owner Arlene is awesome...a great mahalo to her. She was always available before and during the trip. Price for the condo was very affordable and was very well equipped. Other than food items, everything was available for use, even spices and condiments. The fruit basket was a nice touch and we enjoyed most of it. The refrigerator had a bottle of sparkling water and spring water waiting for us. The bedroom was wonderful and I had the best sleep ever in the bed. The entry closet was well-stocked with beach and pool items...even beach towels and sunscreen. There were even beach toys for the little ones, which we didn't have with us. There were ample laundry and dishwashing supplies for use, as well as plenty of dishes, cookware, and grilling supplies. Many pamphlets about island events and tours were available as well as a condo information binder with a description of where all the above items were located in the kitchen. A wide variety of Hawaiian music in CDs made for some relaxing moments. I definitely will plan on staying here again in the future!

Great location in Kihei near lots of wonderful beaches and close to the heart of Kihei for food. The condo was clean and well-prepared with lots of custom items left by the host based on a pre-arrival survey. Kitchen was reasonably well stocked with equipment to eat-in as well. Loved that there was plenty of beach equipment available to use. The host (Arlene) was very communicative and very responsive to our questions and requests. We had an air conditioner issue and she promptly resolved by replacing it during our stay. Site facilities are pretty good with BBQs nearby and an excellent pool/spa. Property is right on the ocean and this makes for wonderful sunset viewing daily.

We were very impressed with Arlene's attention to details, the resources she provided, and her eagerness to assist us in any way needed. All amenities were provided or easily accessible, the property was clean, and had an amazing view from the lanai where we ate most of our meals. The property was centrally located and allowed easy travel throughout the island. The beach was well kept, not over crowded, and we saw a lot marine life including turtles. We highly recommend this property to anyone vacationing in Maui.

My partner and I had an incredible stay at Arleneā€™s condo in Kihei. Arlene was prompt with any questions we had, gave advice for things to do, and added personal touches for us upon our arrival. The location and condo are both great; clean, comfortable, and have everything you need. We would definitely come again.

My friends and I loved our condo at Maui Sunset. It had everything we needed for our home away from home. The grounds were beautiful with mountains on one side and gorgeous blue water on the other! I highly recommend this condo!

Beautiful sunsets, grounds and pool area. Lovely arrival package of fruits, candy and water. Noisy location of the room in that it is near the street. From early morning to early evening there is loud traffic noise. Can't be helped, and it's fine if you are out of the condo most of the day.

Our family of 3 (parents and one 6-year old) stayed for 11 nights in March. We have been to various Hawaiian Islands and this was our 3rd trip to Maui. Arlene was very responsive as a host. A fruit basket was waiting for us upon arrival. On our second day, we received an email indicating that the unit would be sprayed for pests during our stay. I advised Arlene that I was really opposed to pest treatment during our stay and she quickly made arrangements for the spray to take place on our check out day. Thank goodness because I would have been pissed! The resort is located on the north part of South Kihei Rd (away the main drag). Kamaole beaches are not walking distance and the beach at the resort is not your typical Hawaiian beach ā˜¹ļø. We did not see turtles u like other reviewers. After the first day, it didnā€™t bug us any longer as the resort itself has a good sized child friendly pool with shuffleboard and a putting green area! We also had a rental car. (We do like to stay across from Kamaole though as going to and from is so easy.) The owner even has a Maui guide book in the condo. The unit itself: The silicone in the master bath was black. The blender leaked our precious liquid gold. The sliding door was difficult to manage. The dishwasher leaked on our first use so we hand washed the rest of our trip. The master bath toilet sometimes made weird noises. The unit is a bit dated although the carpet seems newer. We didnā€™t complain about these issues as we didnā€™t want staff coming and going to fix things during our stay. (Mattress is soft-medium and sofa bed is sofa bed comfort; we prefer medium-firm.) Plus: blackout blinds, good sized living room, boogie boards, cooler provided, towels and beach towels provided. Laundry stacker is a plus. Ceiling fans and this we didnā€™t require A/C. Negative: old vacuum blows out stinky air so we couldnā€™t use it. I like my living space clean so keep that in mind when reading this review. I even washed and dried all the linen before we left lol. You will notice a huge variation in styles of condos at this resort. Some have been updated and others not. This unit is on the 5th floor which means going up and down if using the shared BBQ. The sunsets at this resort were beautiful. I would rate the inside of the condo itself a 3.0-3.5 however the resort and Arlene pushed the rating higher.

Inside itā€™s got everything: a well-supplied kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards plus a very comfortable mattress in the bedroom. Outside on the deck, sit in one chair and thereā€™s an ocean view, sit in the other and thereā€™s Haleakala. Arlene and Joe are the most welcoming hosts imaginable, providing a waaay generous goody basket, whatever help you need and a ton of Aloha spirit. They are the best!

We arrived to Hawaiian music playing, a rainbow over the volcano and a beautiful tropical sunset over the ocean. Arlene had gone beyond expectations with an assortment of tropical fruit and delicious snacks. The condo is stocked with all your beach needs; chairs, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel equipment and beach towels. While wading in the shallow water adjacent to the condo my husband was surrounded by sea turtles. One morning I watched whales from the lanai. The condo was comfortable and the amenities at the complex were enjoyable to use.

We enjoyed staying at Maui Sunset and the location was perfect. Close to a lot of food, beaches, shopping and the owner was awesome!! She even left us a fresh fruit tray, basket of goodies and some water. The view from the patio was beautiful. The beds were super comfortable and the condo had everything you needed. Beach chairs, ice chest, umbrellas, boogie boards and beach towels. That was so nice to have!! Having a washer and dryer was an added bonus. Definitely would stay here again.

It was my second time staying at the Maui Sunset in A502. Great location. Watched many sunrises and sunsets all from the deck. Ate amazing tropical fruits (many kinds in fruit basket upon our arrival!). Bed is comfortable. We had everything we needed for a great vacation in Maui. We will return! Mahalo Arlene!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maui Sunset. The hostess was very gracious and offered many thoughtful welcome amenities. The condo is equipped with beach chairs and boogie boards, beach towels and ice coolers-everything you need to take advantage of the nearby beaches. We would definitely stay there again!

Location - The condo sits in the north bit of Keihi which makes it relatively quiet from the hustle and bustle of the 'downtown' Keihi. It has quick access to a shopping mall area which has a ton of great restaurants. The downside is the area outside the condo complex is not as walkable so not the best place if you look for the opportunity to explore the neighborhood on foot after dinner. Condo - the condo itself is true to it's description. The sunrise over Haleakala each morning is absolutely breathtaking. Having breakfast on the open balcony is a wonderful way to start the day. There are two bathrooms so it makes it even more convenient. The only downside is the bedroom faces the shared hallway and the blinds need to be down all the time for privacy. This somewhat makes the bedroom feel a bit airtight. Owner - Arlene was sweet and thoughtful. We instantly felt welcomed and at home when we walked in. The check-in process was easy. Although we checked in after-hours the instructions were easy to follow to obtain the keys to the condo.

We loved the view of the sunsets from the balcony and the hospitality of Arlene was phenomenal! She left us some tasty fruit to have for breakfast and Kihei is a great location for foodies at the many restaurants (much cheaper than Lahaina). Arlene was very pleasant to deal with and helpful with the surrounding activities such as the road to Hana. The location is perfect with respect to proximity of beaches - Tom liked Kami III for snorkeling the best. Restaurants and amenities are close by as well (we suggest breakfast at Nalu, happy hour/dinner at the Threes Bar and Grill and a cheaper option with vegan options that they also run, called Fork and Salad. Arlene has beach gear to borrow which was a nice to have. We thank her and VRBO for a short stay in a great place.

We loved this condo! The location was perfect and we were right on the beach. Arlene was great about checking in to see what we needed, and having the closet full of chairs, coolers, etc was so convenient. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to everyone.
