We booked this apartment for the sunset view, and it delivered 100%. On top of that, the place was filled with everything we might need to take full advantage of the location: beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, body boards. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. We left the bedroom door open to get a cross breeze at night which made up for the lack of a/c.

View! View! View! The sunset view is exceptional. It was very clean and everything was in a good condition. The host promptly responded to all questions. The internet was fast. It became erratic for a couple of days but it wasn’t the host’s fault at all. For parking, one should go to the office and register to ensure that nothing unfortunate happens.

NO A/C!!!!Nice little place.Had everything we needed.Location was great.I did not see that there was no a/c anywhere in the listing.I feel like a/c should be standard wherever you decide to rent.If not, it should be highlighted in the description so people know what they are getting themselves into.That’s like getting into your rental and then noticing there is no toilet!!They have about 7 floor fans that you have to play musical chairs with around the whole place to try to make yourself comfortable but it is definitely work moving them around as the breeze sometimes changes direction.I understand that that might be normal for people in that area to live with no a/c but you are housing people coming from around the world who are most likely accustomed to having air conditioning.I can’t imagine how it is in the summer time for unsuspecting people who rent here!We visited in October.A previous review had stated that the balcony furniture was uncomfortable and the host responded saying the cushions had been updated.I don’t believe that to be true.As I sat on that furniture I could feel every stick of wood underneath me.Other than that, this place would’ve been great.

We loved this rental! The view from the Lani was spectacular! We watched sea turtles swim around in the ocean and snorkeled with them a few times. The rental was clean and well stocked. The only downfall was no ac. It would be nice to have an air conditioning unit in the bedroom. I would highly recommend this rental.

Great Little Condo
Our stay was short and sweet. It was a two night stay in this cute little condo. We loved the beachy decor. If we stayed longer I would have appreciated the well stocked kitchen but both dinners we are out. The couple of things that gave this review one less star was the Fact that the listing didn’t mention no AC. I didn’t realize I needed to search AC as a feature for a rental in a tropical location. When the winds blew it was lovely (first night) but second night was a scorcher. Neither me nor my husband could sleep even with the fans on. Once the condo gets hot there’s not a whole lot you can do to cool it down if there’s no wind. Next time I will be searching for that feature.

Beautiful property, unit and location
My partner and I came to Maui for New Years and to celebrate our engagement. The property was as described. Well maintained. Clean. Well appointed with everything you need. The owners took care to make sure you had anything you possibly needed for your vacation. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. Beach towels, water activity items like snorkel gear, sand toys for kids, laundry appliances with detergent, books and games, ice coolers, beach chairs and umbrellas. Comfortable bed, sofa and rug in the main room. Plenty of fans for use. And with the location on the water, when you have the kitchen and bedroom window opened, along with the patio door (all screened), there is a great tropical breeze. Definitely no need for AC. In fact, we were a bit cold on a few nights. Great location to get around the island. And having the unit on the top floor, directly overlooking the ocean made this such a great property. The hosts were very informative and made the check in process super easy. Highly recommend and will consider again!Mahalo Nui Loa!

We thought the 6th floor ocean front condo had been updated very nicely, the kitchen and living room area was tastefully decorated and updated. The bedroom and bathroom were nice, bed was comfortable. Our contact with the owner was excellent, we would stay there again if visiting Kihei.
