For the price you pay per night, this property is lacking.We were provided only 4 rolls of toilet paper for a 10-day stay with 8 people. Only S&P provided & some tea bags. No sugar. No laundry detergent provided. Not enough garbage bags. The liquid hand soap had been watered down so much that it was useless.Someone has tried to DIY the place and done a terrible job. There are gaps in the flooring planks everywhere which hurt when stepped on. There's also some cracked flooring panels that can scratch your feet up if stepped on wrong. The upstairs bathroom door hits the light when opening. No caulking around taps - a mould nightmare waiting to happen.The balcony door has no lock. The hallway light doesn't work. The microwave exhaust and light don't work. The bathmat upstairs has destroyed the bottom of the bathroom door. The toaster is broken on one side and the side that does work has no push-down handle. There were rags & towels left in the washing machine from the cleaners that we didn't notice for 3 days.Only a broom provided - no rags/cleaner.The door needs an overview on how to lock it properly - we ended up not locking it a couple of times due to not knowing how.The location is good if you have a car. We weren't able to walk anywhere due to the mudslide conditions from the recent storms.The resort was nice and kept up well. The pool & hot tub were nice. The provided beach amenities were plentiful.Reaching out to the property owner got no response.

This property was good for us. Location was convenient. The lights are definitely tricky and some don’t work. The place could use a new toaster and the sliding glass door goes off the track. More tupperware and toliet paper for guests would be great as well.

Great location and complex. Pool is great. Condo was not very clean and a few items could stand to be replaced. Overall for the amount of time we spent there it worked for us. We have stayed at a different unit at this complex in the past which is why we cam back.

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights on vacation. We liked the setup, on site pool and hot tub, and proximity to numerous activities (Snorkeling, National Park, etc.). One item that I was disappointed is that there were no restaurants in walking distance from the property.

We encountered various problems during our stay here. The sliding glass doors to the lanai were very difficult to open and close and could not be locked at all. Since the apartment is on the 2nd floor and the lanai is easily accessed, we did not feel safe leaving the door unlocked and had to use an extension cord which we brought to tie around the door every time we went out. The teflon cooking pans in the kitchen were so badly scratched and damaged, we were unable to cook with them. The sofa badly needs to be cleaned - it’s slick with sunscreen lotion, and there is a chair that is falling apart. One of the bedside lights in the front bedroom did not work. The hamper containing beach equipment is filled with sand and has obviously not been checked or cleaned out in a while - both beach umbrellas are broken and beach chairs were unusable. There was a long list of things to do when checking out despite a hefty cleaning fee. One of the items was to run the dishwasher for dirty dishes but no dishwasher soap was provided - we handwashed throughout our stay. The liquid handsoap provided was so watered down, it had barely any soap in it. While the owner did reply a day later and after a second query regarding a non-working hall light which is apparently un-repairable and a non-working living room fan which finally turned on when we were instructed to flip a switch which was marked « do not touch », our concerns, particularly the non-locking doors, were not resolved.

This condo is full of fun activities and we met many other families at the pool. Great views and snorkeling nearby.

Overall location and resort were very nice. The number of rooms which was my mistake looked like there were 3 rooms and a loft. There are two rooms and a small loft with 4 smaller than twin size beds but worked well enough. Maui is beautiful and we were not in the condo very much so to have a place to sleep and the kitchen living room is open concept with lots of room. We really enjoyed our stay!

The condo was fine, some parts were updated and fine. There were a lot of things that didn’t work. The light and fan in the living area didn’t work, the hall light didn’t work, the windows didn’t open and close- many of the knobs were stripped, the blinds in some of the rooms didn’t open and there was no way to pull them up to let the air blow through the unit, and the pillows were very uncomfortable. We enjoyed the pool and sitting on the lanai at night. The kitchen was pretty nice and we appreciated the ice from the refrigerator. The bunk beds were good and the bathrooms were nice. It would have been nice to have somewhere to leave our luggage until we could get into our unit. All the people we met were very nice.

The condo was clean and had a variety of dishes for indoor and outdoor cooking. This allowed us to have a lunchtime bbq in the picnic area. All the public areas of the complex were spotless. The property manager for Koa Resorts was super helpful. We enjoyed evening walks to the beach due to the close proximity.
We got locked out of the property and even though he does not manage the unit we rented, he reached out to the host on our behalf. It wasn't very pleasant that our host never responded to him or vrbo's customer service to help us. Thankfully other friendly renters were able to help.

The property was fine. Nothing exceptional but was a good location and worked for our family. The beach near the condo was not nice and across a busy road but we drove to beautiful beaches. The pool was nice at the property. We were able to grill out at the communal grills. Nice that they provided beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. Bath linens were very nice.

The condo was clean and central location to many Maui activities. The remodel that was done was fine for a rental visit, but the gaps in the floor boards uneven tile in the shower and the drawer that didn't open in the kitchen because it hit the stove would drive me crazy if I lived their full time. The beach toys/chairs/umbrellas in the chest outside were great. The unit is on the 2nd floor, so keep that in mind. The grounds were great, we used the BBQs, table tennis, pool and tennis courts. Easy to park, and they had a rolling cart to help you get your items to and from your unit. The unit had no laundry soap, or condiments, just a few spices in the cabinet. If you need more than that then be prepared to stop at Target for additional supplies. We can never figure out how to get the back sliding door to lock (just couldn't find a lock or lever) and there were no curtains leaving you somewhat exposed in the evening. Overall good stay for our extended family of 8 who ate/prepped every meal in the unit. We texted the owners number a few times with questions but never received a response, luckily they weren't urgent issues.

Close to everything with a great pool. The condo was spotless when we arrived. I was a little worried about the size of the washer & dryer because there were 5 of us but it worked great & kept up with us all week. Would definitely recommend. It was also nice that the kids had their own bathroom upstairs. Thumbs up.

The condo provided a mostly comfortable stay for our family of 8, offering ample space and amenities. One of the double beds was not very comfortable, but we were so busy exploring the amazing island each day that sleep still came quickly! However, it could benefit from some small additional touches to enhance the overall experience (in the check-in, be more clear as to which unit it is upon arrival as we initially walked the wrong way from the parking lot and spent 10 minutes wandering the complex after a midnight arrival, some electrical outlets that look unsafe in one bedroom, provide enough cloths to do dishes and enough pillowcases for all pillows… a small bag of coffee for day 1 would be a simple touch too). All appliances worked well, though the dryer knob is finicky. There is a nice sized kitchen to prepare food and the BBQs were great! The highlight was undoubtedly the pool, which provided a refreshing and enjoyable way to relax each day. We enjoyed the use of the tennis court too, along with the provided racquets. The location was great and a short drive to shops and a central location to drive to other Maui highlights. Overall, a decent option for families and we would stay here again.

Stayed for 10 days, listing is accurate and a good value for location. Small issues (burnt out lights, some BBQ tools that would be nice to have, limited cleaning supplies, coffee filters) but overall a good value. AC worked great, beds were comfortable and location was great.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The best part was it fit our two families very well. The bunk beds upstairs have great mattresses for the kids.
We messaged to ask for oven mitts and they were delivered. Lots of towels, both bath and beach. The wagon was also in great shape and perfect for heading to the nearby beaches.

December 2023
Enjoyed our stay here. had nearly everything you'd need. It could use a few more basic items (more than 1 dish towel and dish cloth, oven mitts, BBQ tools). The lighting in the unit was quite challenged as well, the hallway light doesn't work and the dining room lights have a seizure inducing flicker that we couldn't navigate consistently. Overall it was good and we would stay again.

One of the nicest locations we’ve stayed at. Condo was well cared for, grounds well taken care of, nearby beach great for kids. Lots of space for everyone to move around. Mahalo!

The condo over all was nice. It had everything we needed. The only issue we had was the neighborhood teenagers were jumping the pool fence and disturbed everyone there. We couldn't even enjoy the pool. One of the other guest that was staying there called the police. The kids still came back with even more kids. We even called the management and nothing was done.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo.. it was very roomy for two families of four. The AC worked great( we were a little worried from reviews, but they worked fine). Loved the updated kitchen, I loved that there was no tv in the living room. The only down side was upstairs there were some bugs. Not sure if it’s because there isn’t a glass for the windows upstairs, it’s just a screen and glass shutters. The umbrella and beach chairs had some wear and tear, Overall would stay at this place again

We loved staying here. The the unit was updated and clean. Air conditioning worked great. Plenty of beach supplies made it easy to go to the beach daily. Additionally the beach is just a short walk across the street. This place is a great central location in Kihei making it easy for us to explore the island. I highly recommend and hope to come back one day. Thank you for the wonderful rental, lots of amazing family memories were made here.

We had a wonderful time exploring Maui and just relaxing at the condo. Lots of space. Short walks to the beach to enjoy sunset and see sea turtles! It was a nice accommodation!

Overall experience was good. Great location. Nice pool/hot tub area. Space was as advertised. Clean and tidy when we arrived. Only complaint would be minor maintenance issues. Dishwasher was not working properly as door would not latch shut so it couldn’t be used. The lint trap cover in dryer was broken causing the need to fish out a lot of small items like socks as they could fall through. Other than those two maintenance items the property was great and I would recommend this location to other guests.

We really enjoyed our stay. The amenities (pool, tennis, bbq) and location were great. The condo appears to have had some upgrades so the pictures do not do it justice. Kitchen was great and well stocked. We loved the deck. Although there was not air conditioning in one bedroom it was still a comfortable temperature for sleeping. The one thing that could use an upgrade are the blinds and curtains as some did not open properly. Overall our stay was great and we would definitely stay again.

This property was recently remodeled and looks fresh and new. We were close to everything in Kihei and short drives to Wailea and about 30 minutes to Lahaina. The condo was clean and comfortable. The only drawback was one bedroom did not have air conditioning. The loft was great for the kiddos and had its own bathroom. We would definitely stay here again.

November 2022
This property isn't totally awful and the pool is great, but the listing is misleading as there are several issues. First, while the listing says it'll sleep 6-8 people, 4 of those are 5 foot long children's bunk beds. So, it really won't sleep 6-8 adults - just 4 adults and 4 children. Second, one of the BRs doesn't have A/C. There is A/C in the main living space, but that is a split A/C unit that doesn't really help cool the 2nd BR. Third, the "beach chairs and beach toys" they provide are 3 old and decrepit chairs and an old, rusty umbrella. Truly embarrassing. Fourth, they do provide beach towels, but the managers must have search long and hard to find the cheapest, thinnest beach towels available. Lastly, while there are "smart TVs," they are only in the two BRs - none in the main room. So, if you want to watch TV, you'll have to gather in a BR where there are no chairs.

The manager wouldn’t communicate with us about the problem. When she did She was blaming us for the problem. She finally called a tech, who came on Saturday We checked in on Tuesday, and had 3 miserable nights which would have been avoided if the property was maintained

Our flight was moved due to a broken airplane. We contact owner upon arrival asking to get an early check in as the new flight got us in very early. Owner was not very accommodating and honestly didn’t really want to help. After numerous messages she let us In an hour early. For the 6 hours we were told the cleaning people needed , the place was dirty. Pictures show fridge with ice maker, fridge is a dorm room special. Air conditioning does not work, condo is very hot and sleeping was tough. We have stayed at many VRBOs in Maui. We definitely will not return to this one. Maybe if it sits empty, the owner will appreciate the customer.
Adam P.

After reading recent reviews prior to arriving we were concerned and thought about changing location. However, it was not as bad as we expected. It could do with some TLC for sure, but it was clean and an enjoyable stay. I will say, it is too small for 8 people, so bear that in mind.
Chantel T.
March 2022
This unit is not well maintained. I texted the owner a long message of everything in the unit damaged to make sure nothing got pinned on us. After no response I messaged on VRBO and got a response that they did not receive my message so I sent it through VRBO to not get any reply. Only request we had was that they provide a mop as the rental does not have one for use and our feet were black after our second day at the condo. The floors were so bad I am sure it was just broom swept.
The patio door does not lock and the bedroom door got locked and closed 2x as the door stop pushes the lock in when the door is open that if you don't check before you close it you lock yourself out. Good thing we had a pen to unlock it from the other side as our babies were in there napping.
This place is a good location. The pool is nice and beaches close. Just find yourself another unit.

The add is seriously misleading and not recommended, The beds are full, NOT queen. 1 roll of toilet paper for the whole condo. There were only 5 towels for 8 people, 5 dining chairs, but 3 had broken legs and not recommended for larger adults. NO TV in the family/dining/common room. The loft and 1 bdrm had a TV but we had to buy batteries for the remotes. The other bedroom TV didn't work. The shower curtain was hanging by 2 rings, so we had to buy some and hang them. The smoke alarm fell but we didn't have tools to hang it back up. Piss ants in kitchen and bathrooms. The pans in the kitchen need to be replaced as they are hard to clean after using them. The bathroom mats were in the washer when we arrived and had mildewed so we purchased new ones. It was difficult to contact the owner. It took about 8 hours for her to reply and lives in CO so if anything needs to be replaced or fixed she is unavailable. The windows in the beds are permanently left open and no way to close them. Construction on site that was noisy starting at 6am.
Diana B.
December 2021
The property is not as nice as the pictures. It is very rundown and everything needs some TLC. None of the lights in the kitchen/living room worked well so we had to use a lamp the entire time. Whenever they did work, they would flicker on and off. The living room fan didn’t work and the doors leading out to the Lanai were very hard to open. I think they need to be replaced. There is also a bug problem. We had seen complaints of this from prior reviews but it was too late for us to cancel so we decided to keep the reservation anyway. While we were there, we were very careful not to leave food out and emptied out the garbage can often. Still, we found roaches in the kitchen, bathroom and in the loft. There was also construction going on next door during the day. We were gone most days but it made it hard to sleep in because they would start working at 7am. There was only one broken beach chair and not enough towels for 8 people. The location was great though. Central to all activities. So we will stay in Kihei again, just not here.

November 2021
Upon initial entry, we were a little disappointed. The photographs make the condo appear nicer than it is. But it wasn’t terrible it just outdated and really needs a heavy cleaning, some updates and maintenance work.
The property manager, Austin stopped by shortly after we got there. I don’t believe he was expecting us but he was very welcoming. Took inventory of things they needed to be fixed. He even offered (and brought over) an air mattress for my family sleeping in the loft (2 tall adults that didn’t quite fit the bunks) and offered his personal bassinet for the baby (however our baby has grown out of the bassinet stage).
Cons:
Overall just needs a good, deep clean.
The pack n play is old (2011) and we couldn’t get it to latch correctly. We had Austin notify the condo owner that the pack n play was outdated (new safety guidelines were put into place in 2013). We ended up going out and buying a pack n play for our baby to sleep in. The condo owner declined our offer to refund $60 to keep the new, clean, working pack n play for the condo.
The slider door doesn’t slide smoothly at all. It was extremely difficult to open and close.
The lights flickered (dining) or just didn’t work (over the sink).
The second bedroom gets hot and humid if you close the door at night even with the overhead fan and extra fans. (Better if you prop the door open to get some circulation/ac from the rest of the home)
The shower downstairs did not have the shower curtains and the towel rod was off the wall. The glass door was missing handles. The tile can be very slippery as well so we had to put towels down.
Missing smoke detectors/batteries for smoke detectors.
The upstairs loft bathroom didn’t have a door. So there’s little to no place to get dressed/ready in privacy especially when adults are utilizing the space.
Pros:
Good location
The lanai was so incredibly relaxing and beautiful. The greenery made it feel very private and serene.
Nice pool
Nice bbq space
Good working AC in living area, loft and master bedroom. (Second bedroom does not have ac)
Well supplied kitchen with all the supplies you could imagine for cooking/eating at the condo
A good amount of fans available.
Overall, with a few updates and elbow grease, this place has the potential to be amazing.

The owner was great and quick with responses and the location was ideal, but the condo was quite rundown. Lights (shower and dining room) didn't work, outlets were loose, the sliding doors wouldn't stay on the tracks, etc. Mostly just lots of deferred maintenance causing issues. Ants in the kitchen and dining room were a big problem. Had to go out and buy spray. Only two rolls of toilet paper, one of paper towels, and no bath mats were also inconveniences.
Eva B.
October 2021
The location was good. The check in process fine. But when we got there, we noticed ants all over the condo. The property was also older than what appeared in photos. When we reached out to the owner, we were told to just go buy ant killer. The ants got worse and when I reached out again, was told she’d work on getting someone out there. Then we came home from dinner and threw something in the trash and roaches came out. At that point, we were done and reached out to see what can be done. That’s when she just stopped responding so we just left and checked into a hotel. We still haven’t heard from her. Horrible place. Would not recommend.
Yesenia M.
September 2021
The property was nice. We enjoyed the tennis court and ping pong table especially bbq area. The unit itself was ok, the vents were very dusty and moldy. The ac went out 6/7 nights that we stayed. Supposedly it was sensors but we had closed doors and windows and we had to acclimate to no ac when sleeping. The screen doors were off the tracks. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils and plates. We left shoes and a shirt and the pool and there were stolen.

The location is good. Short walk to the beach (5-minute walk). They have a regular round beach umbrella and two beach chairs, which were very handy on the beach crawling. Unfortunately, only one beach chair was good, the other was tearing apart. They also provided lots of beach towels which were great.
It’s also a 10-minute drive to some very good bars/restaurants and supermarkets (driving south). You should check South Shore Tiki Lounge!
The condo has two good bedrooms downstair and a shared bedroom upstairs with 2 bunkbeds. The beds were comfortable, and the showers were good. The ACs worked and that was important.
There is a swimming pool, a barbecue place, and a tennis court inside the complex.
BAD:
The condo isn’t well maintained, the appliances were a little bit old (washer, dryer and dishwasher), but they worked. And the unit isn’t very clean. Not that the housecleaner didn’t do his job on that day that we arrived. He did some superficial cleaning, but there is a need for some heavy cleaning overall.
There is no reception desk or phone number you can call in case you need something. Only an adm office, but the guy there didn’t helped much.
All chatting as done through VRBO app and the owner replied in a couple of hours.

This property was perfect for our group of 8 (2 families of 4). The accommodations were clean and well kept. The property was very quiet and beautiful. The kids particularly loved the pool. The location is a perfect launch point to most of our favorite beaches and sites. The furnishings were updated and comfortable. There was one broken dining room chair when we got there but that wasn't an issue for us as there was plenty of other seating. One of the bedrooms was lacking an air conditioner but we got by with a few provided fans. We greatly appreciated the box of water toys and added numerous items to the collection before leaving. I would highly recommend this condo and will definitely consider it for our next Maui trip.
