Wonderful place to stay!
I had a wonderful stay here! The condo was very clean, comfortable and updated. Nicer than many places I've stayed for the price so I was thrilled that it was as nice as it was! The bed was very comfortable. The owners communicated promptly and very thoughtfully and generously stocked the place with everything you'd need from soap and shampoo to beach supplies. They didn't miss a thing! I loved having my coffee on the balcony. My daughter lives within a mile of the condo and her in laws stay at this complex whenever they visit so I already knew the location was great. My daughter commented that this apartment was nicer than any her in laws had stayed at. It's near lots of great bars and restaurants but they're not in walking distance. I always rent a car. I think Kihei is the place to stay because it's in the center of everything you'll want to see and do and you are mingling with the locals instead of staying at a resort that looks like every other resort with palm trees. It's on the water so the views of sunrise and sunset are gorgeous. I drove to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island that were 15-20 minutes away. This is a perfect place to stay and the price is reasonable for what you're getting. When I read reviews that say it's not the beaches of Wailea, it's true but it's absolutely lovely for the price I wanted to pay. If you stay on the water in Wailea you are looking at $700 + a night. I was thrilled with this place and would definitely stay again!

The condo it awesome from an updates/ provided items standpoint. Very clean and exactly as advertised. The only thing to be aware of is you are pretty far from the bars/restaurants/resorts. If we did it again we would probably have traded oceanfront for closer to Wailea.

Not What We Expected
I have to say this wasn't quite what we were expecting. The photos are deceiving. The tower this unit is in is set back quite a ways from the ocean. There are multiple balconies in view, along with the pool and courtyard inbetween the other buildings, which were cropped out of the photos. There is no washer and dryer as listed. There is a community coin operated laundry.
The couch is in desperate need of being replaced. The springs are shot. When you sit down you fall in, then have to climb out. I sat on a pillow all week to be able get up from the couch. That is the only seating other than 8 straight back dining chairs/barstools.
A big annoyance is the return air vent is in the living room and it roars, making it hard to hear the TV over it.
The bedroom closet is filled with stuff that should be in the storage closet. Good luck hanging a dress in there.
The upgraded kitchen and the welcome basket were really nice, and the floors are beautiful. The location of the complex is convenient.
I didn't communicate with the property manager, but I had to put a rating.

PERFECT
This was an amazing property with every amenity needed. It really is all about location, and this was perfect. Centrally located in Kihei, but not directly in town so it was quiet and peaceful for morning breakfast on the lanai, and evening sunsets on a beach on the property that was basically deserted. No busy streets to cross, only a beautifully maintained grassy area. The highlight of the property is the 5th-floor "welcome committee" named Barry. He was so helpful! Wonderful to talk to and so many helpful suggestions. He is a retired resident who likes to keep the 5th floor spotless. He was always out there with a broom!
This truly was the best property we've ever stayed in while on Maui, and I've visited about 10 times.

Fantastic place to stay
My partner and I really enjoyed staying here. It had all the amenities you would need for any length of stay and the property was very clean and well presented.
The balcony has a lovely view which you can access from both the bedroom and living room which was nice. It was only a very short walk to a quiet beach, and the surrounding gardens/pool created a very relaxing atmosphere.
The owners were very easy to communicate with, and gave us some great help and advice leading up to our stay. There was a lovely welcome basket with coffee, chocolates and biscuits which I thought was a lovely touch.
I would definitely stay again and recommend the accommodation to others.

Beautiful Property
We loved the property. It is very well looked after. The kitchen has everything you could want for cooking a meal. The view was beautiful from the large balcony.
The pool was so great to spend time at as while we were there the winds were very strong so some days it we weren’t able to enjoy the beach. As well there was everything we needed to enjoy the beach or the pool with chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear. We left behind a couple of foam floaties we bought and hope others can enjoy them.
The bed is well used, or so it felt. The mattress seemed quite worn so we had a hard time sleeping, but no bed ever feels the same as your bed at home, so it could have been just that.
The only con was that there is what appears to be a window shade as the head board/wall hanging and it was very, very dusting. I was worried about dust falling on us during the night. That was the only thing that we weren’t thrilled about, but it didn’t affect our holiday.
I would also like to mention that the owner is very caring. We were there during the Maui fires and she called us to make sure we were safe. She wasn’t worried about her condo, but was worried about us. I would highly recommend staying here once Maui is welcoming tourists again. We really did leave our hearts in Maui. Maui Strong.
