Great condo in a great location.

We loved this condo. It was perfect for our family of four. The proximity to the beach is unbeatable. There are plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance. The condo itself is clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. We would gladly stay again on our next trip to Maui.

Awesome view!!

Third time staying in this unit. Location and easy access to the unit and beach are great. But the lanai is my favorite feature. Start the day with breakfast on the lanai and end the day relaxing, watching sunset and listening to the waves. We have seen sea turtles on the beach every trip.

Wonderful place and great location

My family truly enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed plus extras such as beach chairs which were an awesome addition. Steps away from the beach. We walked to restaurants and coffee shops as well. Our teens were in the back bedroom with two single beds and their own bathroom. And my husband and I in the master with our own bathroom as well. Made getting ready much easier. We will definitely book your place again in a heartbeat. Thank you for letting us do a later checkout as well. Mahalo

Family of 4 Vacation

The patio/ lanei view is outstanding, especially in the evening. The pool is right outside the slider/patio door, so if you want that it is unbeatable. You do sacrifice some privacy with the pool so close. While people do go into the beach, it is not a swimming beach, rather a beach to be looked at and walked on. The proximity to the market and restaurants is great, just 5 minutes away. And the unit is thoroughly stocked, especially in the kitchen. Beds are great, bathrooms are great, I would definitely stay here again. Also, super convenient to and from the airport.

Perfect Place and Location - Just What We Wanted

We found this place to be clean and the location was great. The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were also a big deal for us (kids could have their own room/bathroom). The pool is right off the lanai so it was very convenient for the kids to use and it was not too busy during our stay. The beach was nice and we saw some turtles in the water just off of the beach a little to the North. The sunsets are amazing and people gather at the beach to watch it. Access was great - you can go out Lipoa St to a light to turn left (north) onto Kihei Rd if needed or just a few blocks south to a lot of other restaurants, shopping, and beaches. It is also walking distance to a grocery store for supplies and Nalu's, which is a great breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurant (tip - find the rear access to the Azeka strip mall and you can walk right to Nalu's in about 2 minutes). There is also a cooler and some water toys in the 2nd bedroom closet (we left some water noodles, masks, and snorkels that we could not fit into our luggage). You may see some homeless people periodically near this complex, but I think that may happen anywhere in Kihei. It was not a big deal. (Not bashing Kihei - this was our 2nd time to Kihei and we love it and will return again.) Overall, my entire family loved the place. If you are thinking about booking this place based on the cleanliness, location, and many nearby restaurants and activities, you will not be disappointed.

Great location

This is a great location in Kihei. Very convenient to everything. The turtles can be found if you walk down the beach late afternoon just about every day. The condo is well stocked with everything you might need in the kitchen and for the beach. This was the second time I stayed there and I highly recommend it. Owner is great to work with.

Mixed experience

Property and location is perfect - however, we had disruption of our visit due to maintenance of the exterior of the property (2 days staining exterior door which needed to be kept open, 2 days parking lot line painting, and about a week due to refinishing stone tiles). The owner was lovely and very apologetic but I explained we came for rest and relaxation and the maintenance work negatively impacted our experience. One of the other owners shared that they want to get the maintenance done when they have the owner's gathering during the first few weeks of November. We stayed in the same place last year in early November and did not have this experience. We were disappointed this year as we had such a peaceful and quiet experience the previous year.
