This is our second visit to this condo and we found it well located and set up. We hope to be back.

We loved the condo and the area. Everything is walkable, beds are comfortable, the balcony was great to unwind on after a day at the beach. The pool on property is very nice and the complex is a maze but the instructions were very helpful. Highly recommend this place.

Location can’t be beat. Across the street from the beach and close to shops and restaurants.

We stayed for a week and had a great time. The condo had puzzles, games, beach gear, sheets & towels, washer and dryer, loaner ice chests, and plenty of hooks around the condo to hang stuff. The location is also convenient to shopping and the beach.

Excellent condo. We've been to Kihei many times but this is the first time in this condo. It's is very large and the split A/C is outstanding. Huge Lanaii. All the beach toys you need. Kitchen is very clean and nice and had everything you would want. The problem with the bedroom is that it is perfect if you want darkness, cool and an amazing bed. Sometimes it was hard to get up but the beach was calling! As it is in the front building so close to the beach. Would stay here again for sure. The couch looks like a good option for kids. Lots of extra bedding. Also lots of starter toilet paper, soap etc. This is a five star rental.

This condo is conveniently located just across the street from the beach. The unit was very clean and comfortable. All the necessary items were available to cook with. The owner also provided beach chairs and beach umbrella along with great beach towels. The owner also provides a good channel selection on the TV. We felt at home and would have loved to stay longer.

The condo is located up the road from a beautiful beach with all equipment you need to enjoy it, e.g. beach chairs, boogie boards, sun umbrella etc. in a box on the balcony from which the ocean is partially visible. We didn't use the pool or hot tub which looked very well taken care of. We really enjoyed our 4 days and had a wonderful time. timedenjoyed the

Good- great location, spacious, beautiful view of the ocean w less than 2-3 minute walk to it, walkable area, master bed/pillows comfortableNot So Good- shower towels are tiny; my 19YO wears XS and barely wrapped around her- hot water was nonexistent; warm at best, master ensuite shower took 3 minutes to warm up before turning cold within 5. Some days wasn't even warm and the time of day/how many showers were needed didn't matter- blankets were thin - quiet time not abided by. If 8am, then employees should not be at 630am- washer & dryer were filthy; sand throughout the dryer and visible through the glassVRBO listing showed nothing about having to supply toilet paper, dish detergent, condiments, etc. Wasn’t notified until after final payment made a few weeks prior and after cancellation period ended. It does not make financial/economical sense to buy things like salt, pepper, sugar, ketchup, mustard, syrup, etc. And to not supply toilet paper, paper towel or garbage bags, I was shocked. I’ve stayed around the world in VRBO places and never required to supply. For long term stays, I would understand but for short term stays, it is wasteful. As an owner of a condo literally next door the price charged for 10 day stay is pure greed considering doesn’t supply the kitchen and bathroom basics or decent sized towels. Would I recommend - probably but just be aware of what you need to supply that is not included.

The home had everything we needed and even more. I didn’t notice until our last day that there were beach chairs and more beach gear for us to use. Everything was honestly perfect. Instructions weren’t really accurate for parking, I ended up getting a violation the first night which I think was just a warning. Host was unresponsive to my messages until the last day.

Loved the location. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants and a great lanai to look out onto mountains and ocean. Must be pretty limber to go upstairs to the loft bedroom but at 73 i was ok with it. We looked for beach chairs and didn't find them until our last day. They were on the lanai very accessible Felt very safe. Loved the jacuzzi and pool

First Rachel is wonderful, always responds quickly, provides little extras like a welcome basket of goodies and helpful tips for our vacation. The condo is lovely, clean and has everything you need. Good location and close to beach, local activities and restaurants. My only reason for the one 4 is that although the manager mentioned a hike from elevator to condo she didn’t mention several flights of stairs and I have a torn meniscus so that was a bit tough on a daily basis. But if you don’t have any mobility issues then this is the place for you!! After surgery and rehab I’d definitely go back. Mahalo Rachel Definitely recommend

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately a bit marred with a mix-up in access codes - we had been given an old one. It took over 45 minutes to get it resolved. Had we arrived really late we would have been sleeping in the car. On a more personal preference, the bed was much too soft and both our backs suffered.

We were very pleased with all this property gave usKitchen was well stocked with cookware and the fridge freezer was ample big enough to hold a good size trip to Costco for 5 days of food for 8 adults. BBQ was very good.We made grrat use of the patio.

This is our third time in a row staying at this place. It is phenomenal and feels like home. I don’t think we could ever stay anywhere else when visiting Maui. The owners are very friendly and caring and they make the checkin and checkout process so easy which allows you to really enjoy your trip. I highly recommend this piece of paradise.

We had a great week's stay at this property. Walking distance to many shops and places to eat. Clean, fun, and calmer beach just right down the road from the condo. We also appreciated the close proximity to the parking lot making it that much easier to come and go. We would definitely stay here again.

The condo worked out well for the four of us. We spent our evenings on the lane and saw some gorgeous sunsets. Access to the highway and shops is good. Love the Cafe Kalia for our coffee. Great coffee and friendly staff. Hope to be back.

I love this location, it is so close to an amazing beach and the restaurants around this unit are great. There is such a great breeze throughout the unit, I didn't even have to use the ac. So close to many hikes if you are into that kind of thing. Very modern and updated unit, I will definitely be staying here whenever I stay in Kihei.

Great place, I did parking elevator work. Gand was a 4 or 5 minute walk to beach one and which twhich was some of the best snorkeling I've ever seen.

December 2024

The property was clean and nicely equipped for the most part. There were some parts that felt run-down and in need of an upgrade (kitchen, carpets, upstairs beds were uncomfortable, and pillows in master were really thin — we purchased more at Target). But we used the kitchen each morning and it had everything we needed and it was a good size apartment for our group of 5.

Great location. Setup is a 80's condo facility and the condo was alright. Noticed dirt and dust in the corners and on the masks. Was nice to have all the beach stuff in condo.

Lovely apartment, amazing location, close to the beach. Only downfall was internet connection which wasn’t strong enough for our baby monitor.

Wonderful mattress! Larger lanai than most condos AND a view of the ocean; very nice & relaxing. Lots of steps as the condo is built on a hill. Lovely pool area & very spacious w/ a nice barbecue area close by. Thank- u for a lovely time!

We loved this condo, it really felt like a new one. Ron was very communicative and helped resolve some issue with AC. The beds were comfy, full kitchen, nice ocean view from lanai, beach equipment (note that for snorkeling fin sizes were kids L, so would be good to have something for adults), washer/dryer. Wish we could have stayed longer as we really enjoyed this place.

I came to relax and just hang out for a few days. I really liked the location - great places to eat, good snorkeling, and decent surfing were all within walking distance.

November 2024

This place had everything we needed and is larger than the photos suggest - we stayed here comfortably with our almost two year old in a portable crib, which the host Janice graciously provided (along with a high chair). The living area was roomy enough for our toddler to run around in. Short walk to the beach and shops. The A/C in the living room plus the fans provided kept us comfortable in the 27 degree C weather. Would definitely return! thanks again Janice for being the most responsive and accommodating host :)

Beautiful, great location, easily walkable.
Chelsea
November 2024

Location was perfect. We had a rental car and chose to stay in south Maui so we would be more central to rest of the island. The actual rental location was also perfect for more relaxed days as we could walk across the street to the beach, walk to plenty of restaurants/stores. The pool/hot tub was nice as well. The condo was as described in the listing and pictures. Communication from the host was very good and fast.
Jenna F.
November 2024

AC unit undersized and not able to meet set point. No AC in bedroom and AC unit not able to cool this area. Carpet stained/dirty in some areas but not terrible. Unit could use some maintenance on doors and etc but was sufficient for our stay. kitchen updated. stocked well with beach chairs and umbrella. Murphy beds good for additioanl guests however makes the unit closed off and a bit dark.
SHAWN R.
November 2024

The property itself is clean, well maintained, and was very comfortable for our group of 5. The beach supplies like chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards made it very easy to take advantage of the beach. The main draw is the view from the balcony and the close proximity to an absolutely beautiful beach. We had perfect weather while we were there and took advantage of the beach everyday. It's also walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and a small grocery store, which was very convenient too. If we're every back in Maui, this would be our #1 choice of where to stay.

Perfectly located condo across from the beach. Condo well stocked with everything that we needed. Many restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. Can’t wait to return

I have stayed in several VRBO type accommodations through the years. This time I was somewhat disappointed to find upon check in that the suite was surface clean only. I would have been okay to clean to my comfort level but I was left with only a 2” X 2” sponge and some dish soap. Not even a dishcloth. This unit could really benefit from a DEEP clean Including a good bleaching of the facecloths and towels. The location of the facility and the amenities were excellent. Check and check out were also smooth.

Property was clean and well maintained. Only concern was distance from parking and miscommunication on parking registration. No parking passes available however left a note in the box and did not have any issues so guess that worked!

We had 5 adults in our party. Enough room for all. Quiet location, can see sunsets from Lanai. Adequately supplied in kitchen, bath and for beach. We would stay again!
