Incredible!
Jim and Carol were the best hosts anyone could ask for, and were available by phone and email for any questions. The unit was right on the beach and had direct access to the beach. The unit also had built-in connections to the resort, and the staff members helped coordinate vacation plans and make last-minute reservations. (Okay, so my husband and I are procrastinators, but everything turned out great!) The resort and hosts were absolutely incredible. I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants to have an amazing time in Maui!

The perfect unit for a special occasion!
I just want to start off by saying the hosts were top notch hosts in all aspects during our stay. The place was immaculate and clean / sanitized. Everything in the unit was in fantastic shape and condition. All the accommodations were spot on accurate. The recommendations for local places were very useful. We will always remember our stay as we picked this for our first time in Maui and couldn’t be happier. The unit had everything needed to make us settle in comfortably. The beach front view is epic!!! Not only that the hosts were 100% accessible to any questions we had. We will be back! Thank you!!!

Sunset Hideaway
This condo has everything you need to ensure a wonderful vacation. Breathtaking views from lanai and living room greet you each day. You are literally steps away from the water and hosts provide all the water toys and beach chairs so just bring your bathing suit. The beach is quiet and can feel like a private resort. Come to relax, play in the ocean and watch the sunset. Carol and Jim your hosts are easy to communicate with and make sure your stay is 5 star.

Maui Aloha Living!
I am not sure I can mention all the amazing things of this stay but I will try!
First, the owners were amazing. The communication style made it feel like I was corresponding with my aunt and uncle. A heartwarming welcome basket awaited us upon arrival and instructions for everything was at our fingertips along with recommendations for dining and activities.
The location was perfect. We are in our late forties and early fifties and loved that the location was at the end of the resorts yet a short drive to get to a busier area for drinks, lunch, dinner. Its also a convenient location to the airport - 15minutes! The condo was quiet and had everything we could possibly need - including a gravy boat!
It was important to us, for our stay that we be on the ocean and we were! Having a ground floor condo made it feel like the ocean and beach were in our backyard and we could hear the waves in the bedroom which lulled you to sleep.
I have only been home for a day and already trying to figure out when we can back. This location was perfect for what we needed as were Jim and Carol!
Live Aloha!

Fantastic Oceanfront property - walk right out onto the sand
We had a great time staying here. The setting was ideal with the beach right outside your door. We were given a package of snacks, treats, and wine, which made us feel right at home. The location is great, just a short drive north of downtown Kihei. The pool and jacuzzi were also great.

Great Place, Location and Host
The property was excellent, clean place, the AC worked in all rooms. You walk out on the patio and it is like 25 yards to the beach. You can hear the waves crashing at night from the TV room, but not the bedroom, so didn't keep us up at night.
The property host was very responsive, which was a big plus. Nothing went wrong but had a few questions and they get right back to you.
The location is great, a few minute walk and you are at a farmers market picking up the best tasting food ever!! If you are visiting Maui for the first time this is the best location if you want to try and do various things around the island.
The harbor is a quick 6–7-minute drive for all those boat tours.
Glad I found this place, it hit the spot.

First Maui trip
The VRBO is amazing! It was extremely clean and well kept! It is so nice to stay at a place that people care about what they own. This location is a walk out with ocean view which was so beautiful to just walk right out the patio door and right to the ocean. The kitchen and amenities is fantastic. All the details of what they have is so nice instead of looking and trying to find all the stuff. Also having a washer and dryer in the VRBO is a huge seller for me! We will be back to this spot again! I highly recommend it.

#131
My wife and I had a most enjoyable though briefed 5 night stay at #131. Jim’s and Carol’s #131 was so well stocked and appointed, was on the 1st floor, was near parking, and was - compared to our time share in Ka’anapali - quiet. And again compared to the highly congested road to and from Ka’anapali, the roads in the Kihei and Wailea areas were much easier to traverse. We were gratified with Jim’s and Carol’s attentiveness in answering our inquiries quickly and graciously. We will definitely plan on returning to #131. So high praises to the McCauleys!

Beautiful property, great location!
Condo was very nice, clean, and we loved the central location in Kihei. It was right on the water, with the beach access just a few steps away, including a shower to rinse off. Very well appointed, including beach equipment, washer/dryer, everything you could imagine in the kitchen, and plenty of supplies (paper products, ziplock bags, trash bags, etc), including incredible welcome baskets and treats in the refrigerator. Owners were very responsive and kind. We were provided with a full list of everything in the condo so that we knew what we needed to bring or buy. Owners also provided restaurant recommendations for the area. We would definitely stay here again!
