We spent several wonderful days at this condo. It was immaculate, updated, and in a great location. We loved sitting on the balcony and having a great view of the ocean. It was nice being able to walk directly to the ocean without crossing any streets. The beach is quite rocky (as stated in the description) so it is not the best for swimming, but we enjoyed taking long walks and watching all the sea turtles swimming by. The complex is very clean and well-maintained - and there's plenty of free parking! We would definitely consider staying here again.

We have stayed many times in this condo complex in different units. We love the location of this complex and the Kihei area is our favorite. The unit is in a great location in the complex to see the ocean and the mountains. I also love the layout of the units to see the ocean from the living area and bedroom- it also has a/c which is a must. I would have preferred a door with a code instead of a key, the towels could have been a bit thicker and the bedding linen needs to be replaced but the bed did sleep well and we appreciated having several beach towels. The tiled shower was nice and there was room on the vanity for toiletries. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai the most. It was nice and quiet and not over the walks, pool or on the ground floor which we do not like. Perfect for 2 people - we would stay again.

All was well except the fridge. Our only issue, was asking us to turn it down, when it was At recommended settings and way too warm, and had a previous guest with same issue . Lost a couple days getting repair process going, which went very smoothly. They gave us a reasonable refund for our troubles with out us asking. Nice people to work with.

This was the perfect location to access everthng we wanted to do on Maui. The condo was in a small complex, CLEAN and recently updated. Tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear and binoculars were also provided. The king bed was very comfortable. You will not regret choosing this condo to stay in!

This is our favorite VRBO to stay in Maui (Kihei)! Updated and modern, stocked with all of the comforts of home, and very well appointed. Jeannie is a fantastic and extremely responsive host. We were there for 23 days so questions did arise but answered within hours.

We were blown away! We loved everything about this place ! The location and the view! Oh and the kitchen! We cooked alot and ate on the lanai and watched the sunset every night ! Walks on the beach in the morning were great too! The whole vibe of the property is friendly and calm and so well maintained. The bed is super comfortable too! I can't say enough good things about our stay! We are already planning our next stay ! 10/10 recommend! It's perfectly situated so you feel close to the action but far enough to truly get away and relax! Thank you to our host and everyone who works hard to keep this property available and welcoming!

Steps to a very quiet and long stretch of beach. Condo was clean with great view of the ocean from lanai. Beautiful sunsets. Well stocked kitchen. Times Supermarket close by. Never had trouble finding parking. Could access the 4th floor condo by stairs or elevator. Loved the trade winds at this end of Kihei which kept you a bit cooler. If you’re looking for a quieter holiday, this is the place.

We really like this beautiful unit, view, location, owner communication, amenities and the recently updated kitchen. Lots of kitchen ware, good AC and very clean unit. This was our 2nd stay here and really like this value. However, the property has a resident rooster population that seems to have moved into the resort since our stay last year. We were awakened every morning from about 4 am with crowing until sunset. It is not much of a problem for us after 7 am so bring ear plugs until this is fixed. Sadly there appears to be no effort being made to relocate the resident population of roosters. Hopefully, management at the resort will address this issue in the future to make this return to a 5 star experience for us.

Very nice condo, great views. Kihei is the quiet, but busy part of Maui, a much more pleasant stay than the big resorts. There is a food truck park near by, many stores, and many beaches. Our favorite part of Maui, would definitely stay here again.

Overall this was a fantastic place to stay and experience Maui! This location on South Kihei was great! It was close to a number of very good food options and we had no issues travelling to the various attractions on Maui (Road to Hana, Haleakala, Lahaina). Traffic can be a bit slow due to the nature of the 1 lane street but nothing crazy. Place was fully stocked with amenities with easy access to a pool and beach. View is as advertised in the posted images and we spent a few evenings enjoying dinner watching the sunset from the balcony. Would definitely look to stay again in the future.

Condo was well stocked. Very comfortable and the best bed (firm) in any VRBO we’ve stayed in. We ate breakfast on the lanai every morning. The grounds were extremely well keep. Best “sunset” and view you could ever ask for.

Great rental, wish it had a t.v. in the bedroom but…I was aware of this when I booked the room. Only one negative comment, there was only 3 wash clothes and they were thin. The furniture and decor were very tasteful and I loved the balcony.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. Location was ideal. Close to anything you wanted to do, but felt tucked away and peaceful. The decor was amazing. The unit did have AC but we never had to turn it on. We were comfortable our 8 day stay. Miss being there already.

The bed was a King size and very comfy so we all slept very well. Fully functional A/C in the bedroom kept us nice and cool when needed. Great non-obstructed view of the ocean, pool and grilling area from the nicely furnished balcony. Condo came equipped with everything you need for your Hawaiian vacation; beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, snorkel equipment, insulated lunch box, etc. Note that all this equipment was high quality and fully functional; no flimsy or cheap beach chairs or umbrella that would easily break. Would highly recommend staying at this condo.

The ONLY thing that was difficult is that the “ property manager” was non-existent. Personally I would fire the property manager.

My husband and I had a wonderful time here! The location of the property is close to plenty of maui’s attractions, there were plenty of amenities available to make our day trips easier, parking available, and overall just a comfortable space to come back to! The wifi didn’t work but we were still able to use our devices. Overall, a great experience!

The walk to the beach area is easy and available from the property but not real close. I was pleased to see that beach chairs and such were available for use. The balcony was larger than what was shown in the pictures and can be accessed from the bedroom as well as the living area. Very nice and room for 2 adults, might be a bit tight with children or sharing with another couple.

We have stayed in Maui condos for over 20 years and this was one of the nicest units we have had the pleasure of renting.

A great unit in a great building. Clean and comfortable. No complaints at all. Met friendly and interesting people every evening in the hot tub. The condo itself is perfect size for a couple to getaway. Kitchen was great and had all the pots and pans we could need for cooking for ourselves. The lanai (balcony) was great to eat breakfast on. We watched whales in the distance while we ate. Basic beach equipment is provided too. Hosts were responsive to our questions. When we come back to Maui we will certainly consider staying here again.

The condo was perfect for our short stay in Maui. The location is ideal. We had a rental car, but you could walk to the businesses at the north end of Kihei. Very quiet location with a view of the ocean. We saw dolphins on our last day out in the surf (the binoculars in the unit were a plus. We arrived late in the evening, but the key was in the lock box at the door. There was a car in the reserved spot, so we parked in a visitor spot. We found out from the office the next day that due to construction, parking was open and to park in any spot. Still plenty of parking, so it was not an issue. The unit was very clean and comfortable. Included in the unit were two beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear and boogie boards. Also included were bath towels, hotel style soap and shampoo. The kitchen had dishes, silverware, knives, pots and pans and a toaster. Outside by the pool were several BBQs. We mostly ate out, but had bagels and fruit (from the fruit stand close by on the way to Kihei). We ate at the Kihei Caffe, Coconuts, Da Kitchen. The food did not disappoint. Also close by was Ululani's shaved ice which was excellent. Though the cleaning fees and VRBO fees added almost 40% extra to the cost, those fees were listed up front before the booking was finalized. The overall cost was still a bargain compared to the cost of a hotel. Next time we go to Maui, we would make this our first choice.

This condo had everything we needed plus I beautiful view of the ocean and pools. The location is great, the bed is comfy kitchen had all the appliances we could want. The coffee maker wasn’t working but it was quickly replaced and communication with the host was great. We would stay again!

Jeannie’s condo wonderfully clean. Easy check-in. Pictures are accurate. 350 feet from $2 ($1 for seniors) bus stops going North and South. Foodland delivers for free. Times Market is a 20 minute walk away. App for laundry (instructions in laundry rooms) is really handy if you don’t have coins. Pool is not heated and really cold. Due to all the rain and the location, swimming is not advised in front of the complex. Hot tub was great! View was spectacular from all rooms. Highly recommend.

Great value for the view, great central AC, nice kitchen, good cable TV, quiet, parking can be tough/tight after 7 pm. Coin operated laundry on floor above or below. Not a very good swimming beach but the best snorkeling and swimming beaches on Maui are a short 10 min drive south (get there before 8:30 am for a parking space). Hope to stay here again.

Our stay was everything we hoped for and more! The condo was spacious and had everything we needed to cook, and relax. The large balcony made for great morning/evening hanging out and the place was extremely close to the beach and shopping. We walked to dinner one night, ordered in and made our own food. Parking was simple as well. If you’re staying in Kihei, look no further!

We had a wonderful stay in Jeannie’s suite. We arrived late but her instructions were super clear so the check in was a breeze. The first order was a good night sleep, which was easy in the spacious king sized bed. We had breakfast on the patio daily, returning each evening from the beach to enjoy a drink and watch the sun set. The suite is at a perfect spot along South Kihei Road—easy to go south to Wailea or Makena, and north to Lahaina and Kaanapali. Jeannie was excellent to deal with and got back to us quickly with any questions we had.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo unit. The kitchen was so well stocked, and the unit was clean and very comfortable. The bed and pillows were great and we got such a good night’s sleep every night we were there. The views from the balcony were exceptional. We were so happy that there were beach supplies provided. We used the beach chairs daily. We highly recommend staying here and would love to stay here again.

Condo was fully equipped and close to resort areas on the island without paying the resort prices. We did several excursions and hikes across the island and the location in Kihei made it where nothing was more than ~30 minutes away. We took full advantage of the amenities offered by both the owner and the complex by mixing in making some of our own meals along with dining out to save some money. The owner was also very personable and responsive to questions we had. We had a great visit and we would certainly recommend this property to others!

This is a great VRBO for the price. Its very clean and has pretty much everything you need. The pool is a little small but not her fault. It has a beach, not the biggest but also close enough to drive down to others. Lots of stores and restaurants down the street. Only negative is the walls are really thin and you can hear most everything. If you dont mind waking a bit early. Id still recommend!

WOW! Jeannies place was more than what we could have imagined. Better than pictured. Provided all types of amenities and beach supplies definitely saved us time and money from having to rent equipment. And let’s talk about the spectacular view from the lanai. Waking up every morning to the beautiful view of the ocean was incredible. And did I mention your only a couple feet away from the beach? Well don’t miss out on a sunset there. Spectacular views all around.
