Overall the condo was clean and had sufficientSpace. My disappointment was the beachfront and the fact that there was construction due to the storm in early February.

We had a great visit. The condo was clean and well maintained. The location was great - it was a 2-3 minute walk from the condo to the beach every evening to watch the sunset. Fara was a great host. We found out about the flooding and road in closures due to the storm shortly before we were due to fly out. We were worried how this would impact us. Fara not only reassured us, but drove to the condo taking pictures on the way so we could see what to expect from the road, and see that we could access the property without issues. It was very comforting, and we really appreciated that she went the extra mile to do that for us.

We have rented several times in Maui. Location is awesome, right across from a great beach area with few people. Convenient location to all directions of the island. Check in easy and timelyManager was quick to reply to my question prior to trip.Pool is small but cute. Great because it was very private with few people. Wonderful if you have small children.The condo is a nice size for us , 4 adults.Not our first time we understand that lizards and other small friends can be normal so that was not an issue for us. Sadly the condo cleaning was not great. Floors , counters, bathrooms seemed to have a quick trash dump and move on.Furniture was not kept clean, and looked old.Be aware the stairs are very dark, watch your steps.We did absolutely love being in a smaller unit than the brick multi unit buildings. This could be an amazing space with a little love.

The walls had a lot of stuff marks. The toilet had been cleaned on the outside, but maybe not on the inside. Bedding is poor quality and I'm not sure the last time the coverlet/blanket was washed. The beds were also not comfortable. All that said, we would stay here again. It was a good size for two couples with a quiet pool and a nice beach right across the street. South Kihei road is busy, but the condo is not right in main Kihei so there is no noise to keep you up at night, and it is very easy to get anywhere. The host was very easy to talk to. She was friendly and prompt. It would have been nice if she provided a lot of things included in the condo, but I knew enough from other reviews that I didn't bother asking. There was a small propane tank but no grill. There are four beach chairs and one boogie board. There was also a small cooler and two flippers (one broken and no mask/snorkel). We left another pair of flippers. There were a few spices provided, and previous guests had left more spices, condiments, bread, eggs and bacon. That was appreciated since we got in very late and stores weren't open to get anything for the morning.

Fara's place was beautiful and perfect location. Everything was clean and labeled which took so much guesswork and stress out of the whole stay. Her place is beautiful and quiet and literally seconds from the beach. We would srat gere again in a heart beat

This is a wonderful, quaint beach condo, with a terrific host! It's just a short 1 minute walk to a beautiful beach where you can see turtles and other marine life. Also, if you aren't up for the beach, there is a very nice swimming pool right on site. The condo itself was very clean and comfortable!

The title says it all… if you are looking for the absolutely perfect place to connect your dreams with reality, then this amazing condo is the best place to be!!!! First off, the host Fara is the best we’ve ever had (and we travel all over the world!). She has thought of absolutely everything a Maui vacation could possibly need ~*~ from the perfectly designed layout of the space with labels that make everything super easy to use and find, along with all the supplies you need and beyond! The rain shower is luxurious with full bottle amenities, so you can pack light and be sure you have what you need! We cooked a lot in the condo and all the basics (olive oil, pan spray, salt/pepper, butter, mayo, etc.) were supplied along with zip lock bags, foil, and every appliance needed ~ including an air fryer! The bed is super comfy and unlike other rentals we’ve stayed at there were more than enough towels and anything else we might have needed! And of course the best was the beach gear: multiple chairs, umbrella, sand sheet, floaties… truly incredible to be able to fly to Hawai’i and have everything ready as if you already lived there! And I actually surprised myself how much time I spent in the pool, which was recently completely redone and I think it was the inlaid turtles at the bottom that made me want to swim multiple times a day, and also take a ton of photos with the Maui sign ~better than a 5 star hotel, because it felt like it was all mine!!! I’ll be dreaming of it every day!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kihei! Fara was a wonderful host and great with communication and helpfulness. The place was exactly as described, and very comfortable and clean. We found it to be very easy access to all that we were there to do, and was great to have a beach right across the street. Thank you again Fara!

Lovely to be steps away from the beach! We enjoyed our stay in Maui although truthfully did not spend much time at the rental - we were out about from early in the morning until after dark. Very nice to have beach chairs, an umbrella, lots of towels, etc. - makes going to the beach very easy. Bed is very comfortable, shower was nice and well stocked. We didn't use the shared laundry facilities but they are nearby (outside). Outdoor furniture needed a thorough wipe down before we could use it, otherwise place was clean and comfortable. One note - the windows in the bedroom face the walkway where the front doors for all the units are, so you will likely want to keep those blinds shut at all times, which can make it a bit dark.

Easy to find location. Great directions given by property management. Parking area is somewhat tight but do able. Small outdoor pool was enjoyed by the kids. Appreciated having some old lawn chairs to use. Kids enjoyed the boogie board that was there to use. All kitchen appliances and utensils that were needed were available. Appreciated the few steps away from the beach on days we didn’t want to drive anywheres. Quiet condo complex. A/c units good. Seafood restaurant next door - Isana. Overall great location for travellers on a budget that don’t need all the fancy stuff.

This is the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. The location was great for beaches and seeing the island. The condo was quiet and spacious. We loved that the host had snorkeling gear, a cooler, and beach towels (and an umbrella) to use while there. It didn’t have air conditioning, but the condo got a great breeze with the windows open, and we didn’t need AC. Although the pool is not heated, it was also warm and nice. Our kids spent at least an hour swim every day. The condo also had walking access to the beach. The sunsets were amazing. The kitchen was stocked with many appliances and spices, which made it easy to cook some meals at home. The beds were comfortable. I really only have positive things to say about this place! The hosts put a lot of thought into making sure it was stocked with everything you could need, and we really felt like we were at home there. It looks like it’s been recently renovated with nice flooring and updated countertops in the kitchen. It was helpful to have drying racks and a washer/ dryer there. I highly recommend this condo. If we take another trip to The Big Island, I would absolutely want to stay here again!!

The condo was clean and has pots pans dishes so we made dinners at the condo.The beach is across the street so we walked over every evening.I totally will tell friends and family about the condo and recommend it the couch is comfy( it is a little out dated as people put in the reviews) but it isnt ripped or dirty and the sleeper sofa was comfy!

We really enjoyed our stay. The king bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean and in good working order. The lanai was great and used daily for breakfast and/or cocktail hour. There is a larger outdoor dining table in the shared space which looked nice but we did not need to use. The beach is 1 block away, especially nice for watching sunsets - not the best for swimming. Beach chairs/umbrella/cooler provided. We kept them in car for impromptu outings. Great restaurant Isana Sushi which serves til 10 pm also within 1 block. Host was responsive when we alerted her that the grills' proprane tanks depleted, Replaced the next day. Had basic condiments in fridge. Very basic pots/pans. My only suggestion would be to add a few more items to kitchen like a pitcher for making ice tea and at least 1 pyrex baking dish.

We had a nice stay. Pool and property were kept nice.
Clean, just some hand and foot marks on walls of bedroom that were missed. The jet tub could use some scrubbing. Would not reccomend using as a bath tub, only shower. Useful items were available to us, pool toys, etc. The one bedroom has only a fan. I feel it would be beneficail to have a portable A/C if possible. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Conveniently located in a nice quiet spot of Kihei away from the more busier areas.The kitchen had everything we need for us to make breakfast before heading out for the day and dinner at night. Having 2 bathrooms was great. The neighbors were all respectful of each of each other. Check in process was a breeze. Internet speed was ok for regular surfing. Only 1 bedroom has an air conditioner but it wasnt working properly when we got there. Apparently the caretaker was already notified by the previous guest and they wanted to send someone to fix it however we were out on that day and didnt want to come back just to leave the keys for the repair man to get in. The next day or so i left the keys in the lockbox but no one came until the 3rd day when they told me that a repairman came but couldnt get in because i left the wrong key in the lockbox. Turns out i left the pool key which no one told me that there is a pool key or a sperate pool key. My bad i guess but after that i still kept the door keys in the lockbox everytime and never was the repair man came until we checked out so i dont know if that air conditioner has been fixed? The other thing I wish could have been done by the owner is to upgrade the TVs to a smart TV because the tvs were outdated and you van barely watch anything on the cable channels. It is a cheap ugrade that makes a lot of difference to the your guests experience. Other than that i think we enjoyed our stay overall and would probably consider going back

FARA was AWESOME!!
This verbo truly felt like home away from home right across the street from the ocean right in the middle of everything it was awesome there's an awesome book if you ever do stay make sure you along with the rest of us do your Journal writing to guide the next group of people on where to eat where to be and how to get there it truly is amazing I definitely plan on coming back and when we do I am definitely hoping this verbo will be open definitely a five-star event!!

We enjoyed our stay at the condo. The two most important things I look for are cleanliness and comfortable beds. This place had both. It isn’t anything fancy, maybe a touch outdated, but if you don’t mind that, you should be happy. The kitchen has pretty much all you need. The location is decent, right by the ocean and in a quiet part of Kihei, but for swimming and playing there are much better beaches elsewhere. Big beach was one of our favorites and just 10 min south. The property management was very responsive. Fridge and freezer weren’t cooling sufficiently when we first got here, but I called and they were promptly over and fixed it while we were out on an excursion. Thanks for letting us stay!
