My family needed a relaxed vacation, and we got it here in Kehei. The property met all expectations for plenty of room, beautiful views, super clean BBQ's, along with a property manager Carol who went above and beyond to get us an early check in, Thank You Carol. The kitchen was well equiped.I would warn guests, the rust and mold may cause some concern in bathrooms which were very small. The hide abed was very worn and uncomfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. They did an incredible job given Given the hand they were dealt there was a flood three days before we got there that involved a ton of mud by the time we arrived the property had already been cleaned up the clean up continued throughout her stay but did not disrupt us one bit The views and sunsets here were amazing highly recommend this property

Exceptional view from the deck and nice, clean space. Comfortable beds. AC window units in bedrooms are a little loud. Well-stocked kitchen. Close to good snorkeling beaches. Saw sea turtles on the beach in the evenings (make sure you stay 25 feet away). Amazing sunsets. Quiet building. Nice to have an elevator.

Linda was always quick to respond and her and the cleaning lady went above and beyond tti make our stay extra special. They supply everything thing you could ever want and they even had binooto see the whales!

Property manager called us before checkin to let us know the property was available early -- a nice touch. The best thing about this property is the view from the lanai and the living room. Spectacular. We had issues with the bedroom -- it has no window that opens, only a fairly loud air conditioner placed right next to the headboard. If you don't want the air conditioner on at night, you are left with the ceiling fan. The non-openable window faces the street side and you can get some noise. The location is okay -- not really walkable to shops and restaurants, but they are only a short drive away. We would likely rent this unit again.

Great views, although the whale activity was minimal. The unit was nicely stocked with almost everything you would need to be at the beach. The unit could use a full length mirror, instructions on how to use the TV. There was a sheet that said all the things a concierge could help you with but we called her Tuesday and she called back on Friday, which didn't do us much good in getting reservations made for excursions, so we took a chance and book somethings ourselves. The power went out for a whole day, back on at 8:30 p.m. so it would have been nice to have some instructions on what to do should this happen, i.e. like candles/flashlight locations as the unit was totally dark as we tried to pack to leave the next day. We were on the 6th floor so we got our workout that day climbing stairs. For check out there was really no instructions except to leave the keys on the counter. We ran the dishwasher, did not strip beds, empty garbage, etc. as there were no instructions to do so. All in all a nice place to stay and a lot of area to walk the beach in front of the unit. We shall return!

The condo has a beautiful view and is centrally located. It was clean and well maintained. The A/c in the bedroom is quite loud, but makes for good white noise to sleep. It isn't the most fancy of places, but was perfect for our laid back needs. We would return! Aloha!

Older property in excellent location. Neither ceiling fan worked although there were pedestal fans provided. No response to my question about laundry soap, toilet paper ran out, so we purchased our own. Overall, a very good experience

We had a great stay in Kihei. Each day started with a walk on the beach and ended with an amazing sunset out in the Lanai. The unit was well stocked and we took advantage of the four beach chairs that were included.

Enjoyed our second annual visit to this condo. Good price for fair accommodations, and property manager was great just as last time.ONLY issue is the two bedroom air conditioners. They are much worse than last year. Very noisy and it sounds like they are at the end of their usefulness.

Very impressed by the comfort of the beds and the wonderful view from the lanai. The unit was well stocked and we appreciated having access to the pool. A little bit further away from amenities than we had realized but not an issue given that we had a car. Had a couple of minor issues and were so impressed by how responsive the property management company was.

My family with my kid visited Maui during the Thanksgiving break. We booked this property considering the location which is right on the beach and close to most of the restaurants. Also considering the Maui freeways, it is considerably situated at the center and has easy access. Apart from these things, property itself is amazing and you can feel the sea sitting on the sofa in the gallery. It’s clean and has all the appliances you need for week’s stay or more.

Would definitely stay here again! This really is an ocean-view property with direct access to the ocean. We had breakfast and coffee on the lānai every morning, enjoying the view. Everything was as-advertised and in good shape, and yes, the AC units worked in both bedroom and dining room! Great location to other parts of the island with a car, though not very walkable to restaurants, groceries, etc. There is lots of parking space at this property. We also walked along the beach for a long stretch and it was fairly quiet/not a lot of people, which was perfect for us. Thanks for a great stay!

This was our third time staying at Koa Lagoon Codos. Excellent location, close to all amnesties, shops, restaurant and the beach. Awesome views specially at sunset. The place was clean and comfortable. A bit low on kitchen supplies but nothing critical. Strongly recommend staying at this place.

The condo was very nice. We sat on the lanai every night to watch the sunsets. It was a very quiet condo. Very little activity. The beach in front wasn’t our favorite but the beach a couple of miles away was lovely. We would stay again

The beachfront lanai is so beautiful for sunsets and eating your meals. Plenty of towels for pool and beach. Kitchen is well stocked. Quiet but located close enough to drive to shopping within 5 minutes. We had no trouble parking. Would recommend to others.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Disappointed. Lani cushions were very dirty, couch cushions with multiple stains. Guest bathroom shower super small, as described in earlier reviews. Kitchen was well stocked, and basic cleaning was ok. Deep cleaning really needed. Quiet and unit was close to beach with easy access. Probably would not return. Left a list of items that need repair.

This property is just steps from the ocean. It is a spacious condo with plenty of space throughout. The kitchen was well stocked and there were the extras (beach chairs, umbrella, cooler) that make the stay even better. Good communication with owners.

The property is along a nice beach and the sunsets from the room were gorgeous. Small downside is that you can hear the road some at night. Enjoyed exploring the little town of Kihei.

After an unexpected snafu that was no fault of anyone’s the property management took great care of us and got us a new accommodation. We were very bummed to not have longer at Koa Lagoon as it was a stunning view and we loved the beach out front. Grateful for our short time there and would book again!

Our recent stay on Maui in Kihei was incredible. The condo was beautifully located for wonderful views and incredible sunsets. The accommodations were great and we had everything we could have needed for our week long stay. Decorations were beautiful and very functional for use during our stay. The local restaurants are just a walk away and so many things to see and do are a short drive from this centrally located condo. We will stay here again upon our return to Maui.

Property was ideally located in Kihei on second floor looking out over bay. Quiet and easy access to parking below us. Had all the basics to start with and supplemented them with a quick trip to the Safeway store. Had a couple of maintenance issues when checked in and Carol of VIP jumped on them immediately. She was wonderful to deal with. Location ideal for beaches and restaurants no matter what you may be looking for. Short drive to Maui Ocean center and right up the street was the Humpback whale exhibit.

Koa Lagoon #406 made our trip so memorable!! Plenty of parking spaces available on the property, working A/C’s in both dining/living room and bedroom (much needed for the islands), kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, bathroom had all the amenities, washer/dryer worked great and also had plenty extra beach towels. Our favorite of course was the beach equipment included!! (2) chairs, umbrella, cooler, and 2 boogie boards. This made our beach trips everyday so efficient. THE LANAI VIEW OF THE WATER IS AMAZING. Woke up every morning and walked straight to the balcony to have breakfast and enjoy the sunrise. Overall, a stay well worth it.

My family of 4 had a great time at this rental property. My kids enjoyed the pool, and we had a beautiful view of the beach and water. The apartment is nicely decorated, and the air conditioning worked well. This is right on the beach and close to many shops in the Kihei area. It is also a reasonable distance to most of the tourist areas on the West side of Maui.

The view is stunning! Comfortable apartment/condo style. Our two kids slept on the pull out couch and were comfortable. Table for 6 gave us enough room to all sit and eat together. The lawn made a perfect back drop for sunset family pictures. It is directly off a main road, so some traffic noise can be heard if you're sensitive to that. Would certainly recommend.
