The location and view for this property are perfection!! The beach is great and very close. The property was clean-ish. The floors we’re filthy and the sinks don’t drain. The worst part of this entire unit are the beds… the king is so firm it’s painful. The twins in the second room are just as bad. The bedding is cheap and worn. The property would be perfect with a good deep cleaning and new beds/bedding.

We arrived and the tempter of the was over 82 degrees. After turning on the AC we could only get the temp down to 78 degrees. When we got up the next day it was down to 75 but started going up by 10am. There was a window AC unit in the 2nd bedroom to help try to get the temp down but it was loud and my kids could not sleep with it on. This is not in the VRBO pictures as there is a stick in the window to keep the window closed for "security" The refrigerator center seal does not work correctly. I had a coke on the table for 10 min and found ants going after it. Lamp shade in the living room was all torn up. The washing machine had a moisture fault (we did not bother to use this). We call on all listed items and were told it is all normal. We called VRBO and they told us to work with the owner. we planned a 3 night stay and only stayed one night and went to a different location at my cost. I have not received any compensation for any of this and stilled paid for the 3 nights. Very disappointing situation.

The good first - the complex was beautiful, just as pictured. We loved the grassy area and the beach was very nice. The view for the sunset was better than most of the restaurants we went to that claimed to have a sunset view! It's across the street from a farmer's market, ululani shave ice and sugar beach bake shop (for malasadas). The unit itself is very nice, and is mostly updated w the exception of the tubs/showers which had stained and yellow tile. There was a lot of drawer space in each bedroom, and the closets provided plenty of hangers, a nice iron and ironing board. The kitchen was well stocked. The bad: as mentioned in reviews dating back for 2 years, the AC does not work well. It only cooled to 78-79 during the day. At night it got down to about 73 but that took a while. We called to ask and were told there was an issue w the compressor for the building. We advised that the filter was filthy, and maybe it would help to change it. We were told the filters are changed frequently and they stay dirty all the time. So, the mgmt team was very prompt, courteous and friendly, but did not offer a solution to the AC problem. They did tell us to open the windows and enjoy the breeze... now I fully appreciate the wonderful Maui breeze, but if the AC is listed as an amenity I think it's reasonable to expect it to function properly! The washer and dryer are very inefficient. It takes the washer about 2-2.5 to wash a load and the dryer over an hour to dry clothes.

Property was clean and well maintained. End unit provided a nice panorama of the beach and surrounding area. We would definitely stay here again!

Torrential rain flooded us out! The rental company was very good to call and inform us that the road in was impassible and gave a full refund but we were stuck finding a last minute accommodation for 5. We managed but had to pay exorbitant amounts for rooms at a hotel by the airport. Darn Mother Nature, the condo would have been great! (Rated 4 stars as N/A wasn’t an option).

The view was spectacular. But we were very disappointed with the condo amenities. There were very limited supplies such as toilet paper; we actually ran out on the last day! No tissues. Fridge was defective; centre flap on french doors had to be manually positioned every time we opened / closed the fridge or it would not stay cold. Air conditioning varied throughout condo; some rooms extremely cold while others were better. Bathrooms were extremely dated and not clean. Lights were on timers so they would switch on in the middle of the night. Check in process was a bit rigid. We arrived 15 min early but could not get into the unit as the code would only work at 4pm sharp. Overall it was OK, but would not book here again.

This was a nice property,recently redone. Close to an ABC store and great bakery. Located right on the beach. Only issue we had was the king bed was very firm but the twin beds were soft,so it was OK for us. The owner was very responsive when we called to ask a question.

We've stayed at the Kihei Beach Resort a couple times before and have enjoyed it immensely. This was our first renting this particular unit. There's few things that we feel should be addressed. A. The lock on the door would stick and won't open at times. You had to enter the code in a few times and then it would open. B. We had to use duct tape to keep the dryer door closed and needed to run the dryer a few times before the laundry was fully dried. However we were thankful that the unit had a washer and dryer. C. It would've been nice had it been stocked a little better with TP and PT. D. The king size bed was a bit to be desired. I would suggest putting a topper on to make it better. Especially if you're going to rent it out to elderly. E. We had a little dug issue in the kitchen. We had purchased cookies and the next morning I found the package infected with tiny ants. We cleaned it up and used the spray in the closet. Other than those few things, we enjoyed our stay. The agency that handles the arrangements were very friendly and helpful. Don't let my little list deter you from renting this unit.

Loved the quiet location on the beach. Great sunsets and fun to watch the outriggers every morning.

My family had a fantastic time here. The views were amazing and we would definitely love to stay here again! We enjoyed walking to the bakery every morning (it is so close) and getting whatever we needed at the market and my favorite shaved ice place was right there also!!!!! If you are looking for an amazing stay then you need to book this place!

Condo was super clean, central location. Air conditioning not the best, but multiple fans available.

The location of this condo was good allowing us easy access to activities and attractions around the island. The view was amazing overlooking a quiet sand beach. Unfortunately that is where the good ends. The interior was disappointing. We had been told that the a/c had been fixed and maybe it had but the system in place is inadequate. This is a top floor corner unit which absorbs the heat all day long and the a/c simply cannot keep up with it. During the day it lingered between 76 and 80 degrees inside. When it finally started to cool down in the evening, using the oven to cook our dinner immediately heated it back up again. There were fans throughout for us to use but in a small space these just got in the way and drowned out the sounds of the ocean because we had to run them all night long. I wish I had known this ahead of time as I would have stayed somewhere else. The only response from the owner was that he would “look into it”.

We had a wonderful time in this fifth floor condo with balcony facing the ocean. The sound of the surf lulled us to sleep each night. I would certainly book this property again if I had the chance.

This condo was a decent place to stay. One problem we had was the day of check-in we got a call from the Property Manager stating that the AC was out and a tech wouldn't be out to evaluate for 4 days! We tried to find another property, but with the short time frame we just had to stay here. We had to utilize ceiling and floor fans and the hopes we had a cool breeze at night! We spoke with the Property Manager and a discount was offered for the inconvenience (which I still have yet to see on my card statement!). The surrounding area was ok... the plus was there is an ABC store right across the street! That was convenient! The drive into town wasn't bad... just a few miles and drove along the beach. The actual property was a little on the older side, but still decent. The check-in and out process was simple and easy to follow. A downside we noticed was the amount of parking and the size of the parking spaces though. The grounds to lay out and lounge were decent. We did not utilize the pool though, as the beach is right there! The beach was nice and very little traffic except for the occasional beach walkers. Property has a rinse off shower right next to the pool which was nice when coming off the beach. Overall, this property was good, except for the AC issue. The property is not your 5-Star resort, but a decent place to stay!

There were a couple of minor details that needed to be addressed and the host was available immediately to take care of the issues. The rest of our week was perfect!

This property was nice and clean. Could use some basic updates in the bathroom. Pool and beach access were great, grocery store right across the street. In unit laundry was perfect. AC could be colder, but overall it met our needs. Fantastic views. Would stay again, thanks!

We stayed here for 1 night with a group of 6 before our larger rental elsewhere on the island was ready. It was better than we had hoped for! The view was so beautiful and the beach and pool area were just perfect for us! We really enjoyed the farmers market and bakery just across the street. 6 is definitely tight for much longer than a night or two, but a slightly smaller group or family with older kiddos would be very comfortable here!

This property was perfect for my wife and I staying in Maui for a week on our second honeymoon. We are the adventurous type so Kihei is the perfect, centrally located spot to go visit Hana, Haleakala, Kapalua, etc. The view from this condo is spectacular at sunset. Also the beach is very nice and not too crowded. We didn't use the pool, but that looked clean and nice as well. Highly recommended and we'd be back if we could!

Beautiful spot, nice view of the ocean and right by Sugar beach. Easy check in/out. Not much within walking distance, have to drive for restaurants or use a delivery service. Pool is OK but a bit small to be shared amongst so many residents. Condo has been renovated somewhat and has nice kitchen counters and appliances but wasn't as clean overall as we would have liked. We were not fans of the carpet in the bedrooms. The bed in the master was challenging to find a comfortable spot on. During the hottest part of the the day it was unbearably hot in the main living area!! The condo came with 2 janky free standing AC units in the bedrooms that were OK at night but rather loud. We had a constant teeny tiny ant issue around the kitchen window. Overall we feel this place is overpriced for the state that its in combined with its location.

This was our first trip to Maui and we needed to stay on a beach! This property did not disappoint. The VIEWS!!! Wow. I was mesmerized at the sunsets. Just steps to Sugar Beach to play in the waves. We practically had the beach to ourselves every morning. Pool was nice. Nothing fancy, but a way to cool off. Many lounge chairs in the grass area and around the pool for use. No issue with parking and the elevator worked well. The condo was well stocked. Loved the Tommy Bahama beach chairs (4), beach towels (4) and cooler for our excursions. Twin beds were perfect for the teen boys and king, while firm, worked for us. Kitchen had everything we needed including some pantry staples. I will say the AC was our only issue. The twin bedroom had a stand alone unit to help it cool. Our boys were nice and cold. The rest of the unit just couldn’t get cool. Dan was great to work with and installed another standing unit in the master. Between that for sleeping and the trade winds and opening up the main area, along with fans, we were able to be cool enough the rest of the time. The west sun just hammers that side of the building so know that in advance. It was also in the 90s a couple days so that didn’t help matters. Oh and don’t use the blow dryer and the portable ac at the same time! Needles to say we found the fuse box in the kitchen island! All in all, we had a great stay and would stay again! Mahalo!!
