Not bad, but not great.

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. The property manager didn't send us all the information we needed to get in when we arrived, but thankfully did include a number for someone else we could text. When we texted them, they sent back a one-word response, which was all we needed to get in. When we walked in, one of the first things I found were probably hundreds of dead gnats on the floor and in the bathroom sink. The floor was also generally dirty. It only took a couple of minutes to clean this all up, and the rest of our stay was fine. The bed was comfortable; the furnishings were good.We didn't spend much time in the place itself except for dinners and to sleep. It's in a really great location, with access to a lot of great parts of Maui. It's also right across the road from a gorgeous beach. So, it worked. It was a roof over our heads and did what we needed it to do. But it's not especially nice, either. And I wish they had cleaned up the gnats before we arrived.

Didn't get to stay:( Bad communication

I brought my daughter to MAUI for her 21st birthday. At first the communication was good (with Anthony). The day we got into MAUI we arrived an hour earlier at 9:45am, so we emailed and texted Daphanie and Anthony (their point of contact). Check in is at 4pm. We were exploring the island since then and asked Daphnie and Anthony if we could check in at 3pm (1 hour earlier).To my surprise they said there was a mix up from the owner, who did not communicate there was another booking. So they said the condo would not be ready until 5pm. I called Daphanie to let her know that this is a inconvenience and on the phone she she was defensive and blaming the owner. She was clearly also at a family gathering and was clearly irritated by my call of inconvenience for her. In the end, after Daphnie, hung up on me I get a text from her at 6:10pm that says, "U can try going to the unit n seeing if it's done". Her text messages, communication and emails are all written slang and super unprofessional. Through this ordeal, mind you it's my daughter's 21st, bday, we called VRBO since it was then 4:45 and we have no place to stay. VRBO kept calling them and an hour later we are booked for a resort paid for 2 days by VRBO and my refund for the condo refunded back. I wish I could comment on the condo, but we did not get to stay and it was a terrible experience not knowing if we were going to have a place to stay. Kudos to Mae and Ivan from VRBO for rectifying the situation.

Pleasantly surprised

We stayed here and had a wonderful time. Honestly, I would rather have been here than any other properties due to the price and location. The room was wonderful. The hot tub and pool were nice also. On a side note- go across the street to the beach at night and see the sea turtles asleep there where about 50 of them every night.

Good option for those looking for a smaller/quieter place. Could use some updates

Pros:-Location was fantastic! Right across from a beach, in close proximity to a lot of things -Price was very fair, especially for Maui -Cute space and quiet neighbors Cons:-outdated interior, but unless you're wanting to watch a lot on TV, it shouldn't be a problem -Bathroom needs a major deep clean. Bathroom smelled very strongly of mold/mildew through the duration of our stay.Overall, a good experience! A few tweaks would make this property absolutely incredible but it's definitely a good choice for those wanting reasonably priced accommodations

Dirty but Cheap, Close to Beach

Pros:The location is great, across the street from a beach and a quick drive to restaurants and shopping. Has a well-maintained pool and hot tub.I felt safe to stay as a lone female traveler with my daughter.Cons:I am cool with older, modest accommodations but at least need it clean :/The rental was VERY dirty upon entering. All the dishes in the cabinets were dirty (actual food on them, coffee in the bottom of cups, weird fluid on the champagne glasses.) I had to wash all the dishes, cups, and utensils before we could use them. We had to sweep and clean floors from spills and dirt.The bed had hairs on it. We had to dust off as the laundry on site was not open to wash.The fans in the bathroom, above the bed, and the box fan that blows on you bedside have super caked-on dust and dirt.The bed frame is busted so the 2 pieces of frame slide apart and you have to push them back every day so you don't roll in the middle.There was no parking pass.We reached out to the host to inform them of the cleanliness and missing pass as we didn't want to be towed/get a ticket or be charged for things that were broken or dirty. We sent picsThey told us to write the unit # on a paper and put it in the car in lieu of the pass. We asked if there could be a partial refund due to having to clean the unit ourselves-the only offer regarding the cleaning was to have the on-island gal come and sweep the floors.They did not work with VRBO support regarding this either.

Kihei visit

The location was great. Right across the street was a sweet, quiet beach with an artificial break water that has become a delightful reef. Great for snorkelling and the turtles were always there.The bed was a king and very comfortable.The kitchenette was sufficiently stocked although only 1 tea towel was left and no pot holders or oven mitts. Cleanliness was good. However, a mat at the balcony door would be useful as a lot of sand blows in onto the balcony floor then tracked in. The fans need a good clean and the one in the bathroom had a bad smell coming from it.There were many nice amenities like masks and snorkels, beach chair and umbrellas, and chilly bins to take to the beach. Tourist info and maps were appreciated. Parking was always obtained right outside the unit. It could be very noisy as the unit faces a very busy street. We enjoyed our stay.

Great little spot. Was a little bit concerned with some of the reviews being mixed but it was everything you could need with a stay.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Elsetinow

Host profile image
I grew up and went to school on the east coast. After a vacation to California, I decided to make it my home. Since moving to California, we have been vacationing in Maui for about 12 years, and the very first time we knew we would live there someday. This condo is now our home away from home. We have two adorable toddlers. Before they were born, we engaged in a 10 year search for the perfect place to call home in Maui. But when our children were born and after seeing their love and enjoyment for Maui, and with an enchanted stroke of luck, i found our second home. we are anxious to share the aloha spirit with my guests, and hope that you will feel the magic I felt the very first time I stepped foot on the island. I hope our guests will feel the love our family has for our home.

Why they chose this property

We began looking for a second home from the first time we set foot on Maui. We stayed in other parts of the island, including Napili and Kaanapali. We found Kihei to feel more like a family oriented paradise in a small beach resort town, located centrally allowing easy access to many points of interest. Our home is across Kihei Road from the ancient Koieie Fish Pond, and the Whale Sanctuary. We have an ocean view, that will only get better when the palm tree grows just a little bigger! We found that as return visitors, accessibility to the airport, shopping, dining, and other beaches, is very important to living in Maui.

What makes this property unique

Kihei is a beach town that makes you feel welcoming. The locals are kind as are the beaches. You have a variety of places to eat, shop, or simply to enjoy taking long walks on beaches that are long and beautiful, such as sugar beach. Maui ocean center is just over 6 miles away. Our home provides you many options on the laid back island of maui.
