We had a wonderful stay here. We loved starting our day sitting on the balcony, and it was the perfect spot to watch the sunset. It was so fun whale watching from the beach, and there were plenty of places that we could walk to for lunch or dinner. There was easy parking right out front, and we were close to lots of other beaches and restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again!

Enjoyed a few days here. Unit is as described and provides what you need. The location is prefect, spent hours watching whales, and generally relaxing on the lanai. Good pool and the easiest access to the beach. Only thing to note is it is a three story walk up but the stairs aren’t that bad, even for an older person like me with bad ankles.

The location was great. Central Kihei. Walking distance for most things but we had a car for sight seeing.

We had an amazing stay in Maui. The condo was the perfect location for our adventures. It was comfortable, had everything we needed and more! It was convenient, quiet, just perfect and it had amazing views! The sweetest owners too! Great communication, they felt like instant family/friends!

PERFECT location in Kihei, but just outside of the super busy section. Walkable to so much. Easy parking, easy check in. Condo is beautifully updated, fully stocked with everything you could need - beach towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs, fully stocked kitchen. Comfortable bed, extremely clean. Lanai was perfect for sunsets, even saw several whales. Will definitely be back!

This property was absolutely incredible and the people that hosted us were nothing but the best. Everything was 5 star. Even the check in process and everything that they already had waiting for us made it so easy. I would recommend this to anybody That's looking for an incredible stay in Maui.

Really nicely laid out unit. Always a view of the waves! We enjoyed the beach and the grass before the beach and had fun playing shuffleboard on top of that. That one was a new one for us. Only negative isn't the owner's fault, but there is a rooster across the street who likes to let everyone know that it will be dawn in about 3 hours. Highly recommend for families and especially young kids. The water is very shallow for a very long way. Good house communication would not hesitate to recommend.

The property was perfect! Great location in Kihei, quiet, fully outfitted, well-cared for unit. John the condo manager does a terrific job overseeing the grounds and public areas. Anita our host was amazing, providing all the information we needed prior to our arrival and followed up with us during our stay. Very hands on, which is reassuring. We will definitely check availability of this unit during our next visit to Maui. Mahalo!

We loved our stay- the condo was perfect and very well equipped, we couldn't have asked for better. The location is close to a grocery store and restaurants. Everyone we met there was very friendly. John, the caretaker, was great. The sunsets were spectacular and we enjoyed our morning walk on the beach. We will definitely stay there again. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Live Upcountry Maui and had our son visiting for Christmas Break, so thought we'd start his vacation off at the beach. Very nice, clean, well stocked condo that looks like it recently was remodeled. Kitchen has everything you need: Coffee maker (there are a lot of coffee filters currently lol!), blender, InstaPot and fully stocked pots, pans and dishes. Beds, including the pullout couch according to the 23 year old, were very comfortable. There are extra blanket in case you get chilly, extra pillows and looked like they even had a portable crib and high chair if you're bringing a little one. Beach is right there. Pool is small, but it does the job if you don't want to dip into the ocean, and the lawn area was great to pull the lounge chairs out on and read in the shade of the Palm trees. If we do this again, and we will, we will come back and would highly recommend it!

This is our second visit to this unit in 6 months. We loved the unit itself as well as the proximity to the beach and pool and particularly being on the ground floor. This complex is very low key and quiet, which is exactly why we like it. It also makes it easy to meet and talk to people, many of whom were the owners. The unit is very well equipped for a comfortable stay. We will be looking to re-book this unit again next fall.

My spouse and I came to celebrate my 40th birthday, with our the kids! This property was more than we expected. The view and proximity to the beach exceeded our expectations; the pictures on the post don’t do it justice. Nothing was a far drive 10 min in any direction had everything we needed. Of course we chose to venture farther too. Stay here! You will not be disappointed.

This was our first time staying in Kihei. For our previous visits to Maui we stayed in the Kaanapali/Lahaina area. We booked this condo based on the 5 star ratings on VRBO. The condo was nicely furnished, the bed was very comfortable and the sofa was nice and firm (compared to other places at where the sofa are really soft with no support). The sunsets on the lanai were amazing and the condo was well stocked with everything you would need. Very fluffy towels, plenty of pillows and blankets, beach supplies, spices and cooking oils, pots/pans, etc. Very convenient walking distance to Times Supermarket and restaurants. A couple of things to note: 1. There is a coin-operated laundry on the first floor (bring $7 in quarters $2 for the washer, $3 for the dryer, and $1 each for detergent and fabric softener). The condo did have laundry detergent while we were there. 2. You will have to pay 100% of the rental price when booking (we have never had to do this before - most hosts charge 1/3 or 1/2 upon booking and the rest closer to the arrival date. We booked 11 months in advance and had to pay the full cost upfront). 3. There is one airconditioner in the living room. However the bedroom does get quite warm, even with a ceiling fan. 4. The place is comfortable for a couple, or a couple with one or two small children. There is not much closet space. Overall, a nice place to stay and a quiet location. We walked on the beach, saw sea turtles, and had a very relaxing time.

The property is just as pictured. The sunset and views from the balcony were our favorite. Beautifully renovated with nice touches throughout. There were even beach chairs/snorkel gear/coolers/etc on the balcony which made beach days a breeze. There are also posted quiet hours, which most people adhere to, but if you're late sleepers you'll definitely hear doors slamming/people (children) walking by the unit to use the stairs. My only wish was that there was in-unit laundry, but no matter, they had community washer and dryers on the ground floor for $5 a load and laundry detergent/softener at $1 each (quarters only & no machine). Overall we loved our stay and would definitely recommend to others.

Excellent! The unit well is maintained and equipped. Everything is in great condition. The location is perfect - walkable to shops and dining. It is right on a beautiful beach, that was perfect for my morning swim. The views are unforgetable. We hope to return soon, and often. We did not need to contact the hosts because nothing went wrong, but we are very grateful that they provided such a wonderful place to stay.

Perfect location- steps from beautiful calm beach that was great for swimming. Views from condo can’t be beat. Watching the sunset (while enjoying a glass of wine) from the condo deck was magical. Condo was a perfect size for a couple and had everything we needed plus more. A really great stay.

Had a wonderful time in the tent. Everything was convenient, from fridge, small kitchen, and hot shower. Peaceful place to stay while hearing birds and gecko in the morning/evening. Communication with Kehau was easy and informative. Super close to Volcano National Park. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here for about a week with our 1 year old. We wanted somewhere nice to stay with a good view given that we knew we would be spending a good deal of time in our room with naps and such for the baby. Pictures are very accurate and the view from the room is perfect. Sunsets from the balcony are gorgeous. The building looks a little motel-y from the road but this unit is in great shape, is well appointed and maintained. The beach is probably less than 50 yards from the building. The beach is a little short depth wise so there’s not a ton of room but once you’re in the water you can walk out a very long ways which is neat. There was also a lot of neat beach combing here with lots of coral wash up. Waves we fairly calm here even on windier days so a good spot for kids or those less comfortable with the surf. The room had everything we needed for cooking. and was well equipped for our baby as well with a pack and play with sheets as well as a high chair. It also has all the beach gear you might need, chairs coolers, towels and umbrellas. The only thing we missed is the fridge is not equipped with and ice maker so be sure to grab a bag of ice from the store. I had a few questions for the host both before and during our stay and they were very quick to respond on both occasions. Over all very happy with our stay and would highly recommend this unit especially if you are going to spend a little more time than usual in your room like we did.

Wonderful 5 stars - cleaning service could use a tune up, but nothing major. the view is stunning and the kitchen and recreational supplies were so cute and thoughtful

Property and location is perfect - however, we had disruption of our visit due to maintenance of the exterior of the property (2 days staining exterior door which needed to be kept open, 2 days parking lot line painting, and about a week due to refinishing stone tiles). The owner was lovely and very apologetic but I explained we came for rest and relaxation and the maintenance work negatively impacted our experience. One of the other owners shared that they want to get the maintenance done when they have the owner's gathering during the first few weeks of November. We stayed in the same place last year in early November and did not have this experience. We were disappointed this year as we had such a peaceful and quiet experience the previous year.

This is the best location on island. Sunset view was amazing. Nice and quiet. The furnishings of the apartment are worn out but there is everything you need and the place has a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend.
