It’s that time to say…A Hui Ho to my island Maui. My family enjoyed our time here. The unit provided everything we could ask for….clean, good location, amenities such as a pool, bbq area, beach right across the street where you could see many turtles. I’m very impressed with Kevin our host as he made sure the unit was ready to go. Kevin provided that local aloha vibe and checked in on us periodically to see how we were doing or if we had any questions at all. I loved that. My family and I were able to have dinner on the balcony and take in the smells tropical flowers and the fresh ocean smell. My son truly enjoyed the pool time, too. It was perfect for the three of us as my wife and I slept in the bedroom while my son slept on the pull out futon. Kevin also provided a cooler, beach chairs and boogie boards that we definitely took advantage of. Thank you Kevin for letting us stay in this beautiful condo and for providing your warm aloha. We will definitely stay here again — no doubt about it!…until then Maui… Aloha!!

Everything was fine. The condo was clean. Nice table on the balcony. The condos were secluded and there was no highway noise. But they were an easy walking distance to the humpback, whale exhibit and shopping and restaurants. It was a bit of a hall to get my 50 pound suitcase up to the second floor condo but we made it.

We had stayed in this unit previously, so we knew exactly what we were getting. This unit is value priced and not fancy but gives you exactly what you need. Location is amazing; it's a very quiet complex, with a lovely beach that is just across the street. The complex is centrally located for going anywhere on the island and is a short drive to shops and restaurants in Kihei. If you are looking for basic inexpensive unit this is it!

We stay at this property regularly - over the years we have probably stayed in most of the available units- and this is hands down the nicest unit. Well updated, quiet, working AC, and a comfortable bed and couch bed.

This condo was wonderful. Just the right size! Close to the pool, hot tub, and bbqs but back from the main road. Beach was across the road and you never had to wait long for a break in the traffic to cross. Wonderful beach, not busy, AND, large green sea turtles came up every night to sleep on the beach. They would leave at different times of the morning to go back to sea. This place is in a perfect place for easy access to all parts of the Island, close to grocery stores, restaurants, shops. Would definitely stay again if/when I go back.

The unit was exactly as described. It’s set back from the busy road and located in a small and very quiet complex, so it was a great space to unwind at the end of a long day. The pool and hot tub area was small, but perfectly fine for a quick dip. Friendly neighbors. More than enough dish and laundry detergent, and having laundry in unit was extremely useful for my family. My husband and I took the fold out couch while my parents took the bed. Both beds were about what you’d expect for a rental unit. My only tiny complaint is the pillows, when uncovered, showed some staining, as did the mattress cover on the main bed. Kinda gross. The bathroom shower could also use a grout touch up. Other than that, the unit was very clean, was not musty like some other rental units, and came with enough beach gear for 4 adults. The vaulted ceiling made the unit feel much bigger, and the lanai space was wide and a nice extra space. In a pinch, it’s fine for a family of four with the fold out couch, but probably better for a couple with one small child. Rental stock was low, so we were willing to make it work. Overall, great value, location, and home base for all our adventures.

Aloha! Overall our stay at Kihei has some pros and cons that made me give a 3star rating here. Home has a very nice location, well stocked home with beach equipment and kitchen supplies all set well; it also had good enough laundry and cleaning supplies. Also to mention before and after reaching Kihei the staff was very communicative and prompt in making sure we made it to the rental. Some downsides are apartment needs updates really bad; door locks, carpets dirty, bed is sagging and very old, bed sheets had stains, bathroom was not very clean, couch was old and rough.. we had to do a laundry before using the bed and had to put a sheet on the couch before using it! A/C on bedroom is very noisy and had to pretty much wipe down everything before we used it. TV did not work for the time that we were in the rental and there is a serious need for updates and rental condition does not look like what was advertised. Kihei however was a great location, people are very friendly. Mahalo!

Good value. However the carpet was very dirty and stained, and ants were a big problem. Check in info said no reserved parking, yet spaces were painted "reserved" and there were cones with unit # on them.

We enjoyed our stay. Nice complex in a good area. The patio overlooked a nice grassy area. Just across the street from the ocean. The A/C worked great. I really appreciate the condo having a blender and cable television. One tiny thing is I wish there were more beach towels available but doing laundry was an option.

Aloha. We spend a very good time in Maui. The condo was confortable and well located. Noting missing. Washer and dyrer in the condo was appreciated. The only problem was the the lack of soundproofing of the ceiling. We heard a lot noise (impact noises) from the condo above us (2 floor)

Overall, the condo was nice. The location was right across the street from the Humpback Whale sanctuary with a lagoon that has turtles. The kitchen was well-appointed. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and found that, unlike other condo communities where we have stayed in Kihei, these were not crowded. Our only comments are that the carpet has some staining and the furniture is a bit dated.

Everything was as promised. Great location near many things, but not right in the middle of it, making it a lovely, quiet place to settle in. The place was spacious and clean, and we were impressed with all the things available for our use, such as towels and beach supplies. The only thing I would suggest is not having guests turn the ac off at checkout, as when we arrived for check in it was very warm and took a full 24 hrs to get it cooled down enough for our comfort, especially back in the bedroom. But once it did reach the temp we wanted, it was great. Thank you for a great stay!

Across the street is a beach with a stone wall where turtles enter to rest and escape the sharks at twilight. Don’t miss it. The apartment great. Very clean, quiet, and well maintained.I can highly recommend staying here. Nice job, Glenn!

The pictures are accurate but likely taken a couple years ago. Everything is just the same but worn and dated. It was tidy but not clean if that makes sense. The unit needs a deep deep clean like all the nooks and crannies. Upon walking in, it was HOT. We turned on the one ac unit in the front room and it started to cool pretty quickly; although, it smelled musty and the button is broken. The bedroom is in the back and was super warm. The ceiling fan only goes one speed - slow. There was no bulb in the side table lamp so pretty dark as well. The bedspread smelled laundered but it was stained (chocolate? blood? something red/brown) in multiple places. Everything up to this point was tolerable and we would have settled for the less than a perfect stay... until we realized the biggest issue - ants everywhere. When I say everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE. They were crawling all along the walls, along the floor boards, all over the kitchen, in the front room, crawling on us while we were sitting on the couch, and in the bed. That's where I drew the line. I can tolerate ants in the kitchen or bathroom, but I work too damn hard, spent too much money, and traveled too far to allow myself to sleep with bugs crawling on me during my dream vacation in Maui. I contacted the property manager who said they've never had an issue with bugs in the unit (Mind you, there was a nearly empty can of Raid under the sink.). There's no way that's true. The unit is INFESTED with an ant colony that lives in the walls. It's to the point where they acted like roaches, which I have never seen ants do - I turned on the kitchen light and a bunch ran under the toaster. Then when I picked up the toaster there were dozens scrambling for cover. They're crawling in and out of the crevices between the counter shared by the kitchen and front room, all up and down the cabinets, all down the baseboards. Just everywhere. The property manager asked for pictures so I emailed a few. She said someone would come by to put down some ant traps the next day and that it would take a couple days to clear up the ants. Not sure if it worked. We left. I couldn't do it. I took the $1800 loss and spent twice as much getting a nice hotel room for the rest of our trip, but it was worth it. We did what we needed to do to turn the nightmare into a dream vacation.

This is a cute, one bedroom condo across the street from a very small beach. It does have a very cool cove that sea turtles come into in the evening. The only thing I did not like about this condo is the very small bathroom. It was difficult to move around in the tub toilet area. Other than that it was convenient to restaurants, shops, and other things to do. We did enjoy our time there.

I think the best compliment I can give you is that as we were leaving we wanted to call and ask how much would it cost to buy the condo? We thoroughly loved our stay and hope to do it again soon. GREAT location and other than a neighbor smoking some wacky weed it was perfect, TY!!

We just returned from our 8 night stay at this property. I’ve stayed in many properties through VRBO and this was by far one of cleanest most organized ones ever! The area was convenient to everything Maui has to offer, and with a great beach right across the street! The pool and hot tub were well maintained and always a nice way to wind down after a long day exploring. Kevin is a great host, communication was excellent. He reached out the day we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. Don’t hesitate to stay here, I would definitely stay again!

My wife and I have been staying at vacation rentals for many, many years. While most have been very good, we have never felt as at home as we did in this condo. To say it was well supplied is a major understatement. Everything we could have imagined was supplied - and then some. The condo was incredibly clean in side and outside on the lanai. The appliances all worked very well, the AC was good and there were even extra floor fans in the bedroom closet if needed. The location was also a major plus. Right across the street is a beautiful sandy beach which never had many people there are all. It practically felt like a private beach. Every evening we would take in the sunsets and watch the sea turtles come in. The entire complex was also immaculately cared for. The pool and hot tub were super clean, the grounds were well maintained and everything around the property was well cared for. We loved this property so much that we have already booked our next trip back there. While Maui is a beautiful island, having a place as nice as this to stay at made the vacation that much better. Thank you so much to Ken and Gabrielle for sharing your home with us. We look forward to our next visit there. Mahalo!
