Pleasant stay on Maui

Guest: Devron G.
Date of Stay: 04/19/12 Review Submitted: 05/03/12

We enjoyed our stay at this condo on Maui. It is a very large one bedroom condo that has been nicely renovated. It has a well equipped, modern kitchen and a very comfortable king size bed. The location on South Kihei Road is perfect for Maui because you are able to drive up, down, or across the island from this central location. The condo is on the ocean side of the road and has nice views to the water. We spent quite a bit of time on the balcony enjoying the view. The condo is close to the road so there is traffic noise, but I believe that is the case for many of the properties along South Kihei Road. The traffic at night is fairly light, though. I would definitely recommend this condo as a good place to stay.

I enjoyed this place and my kids did even more! The view from the lanai was gorgeous. It was very nice that the owner provides a cooler, beach chairs and a couple of beach towels. The appliances in the kitchen were well kept up and it was so nice that things like soaps, dish detergent, dishwasher soap, paper towels were provided. The shower in particular was very high end, with plenty of hot water and a great, hard shower! The grounds were well kept up and clean. There are several grills that are open for use, and the pools and jacuzzi are clean and well maintained. There are plenty of chairs by the pool and there are tables near the grills. In the condo itself, there were several upkeep things that needed attention. We arrived at/near the end of high season, and I think there were some items that went missing or were broken over time. When we returned I provided a list of these to the owner, who responded graciously and I'm quite sure he'll have these taken care of quickly. There was also a discrepancy in billing (not his fault; we made a change in the reservation) and the owner handled this quite promptly and graciously. If wifi is provided, there were no directions provided for accessing it. That's an easy solve and since the owner was quite a pleasure to deal with, I do have confidence that he'll take care of it. In terms of local amenities...we really liked this area and would gladly return to S. Kihei Road. The only reason we might or might not stay at this condo again is that the beach outside the condo isn't really swimmable...it's very rocky. That being said there are plenty of beaches within a quick drive! We had a great experience snorkeling at Kamaole II, and also liked Maluaka beach quite a lot. We had a date night at Cuatro restaurant down the street--yum. We also loved the shave ice at S & Q down the street, and the Times supermarket (I think) was our favorite. All in all I think this is a great place to stay. Several other tenants staying in other units said that they had returned to this particular complex multiple times. One of them said that if potential tenants contacted owners directly regarding longer stays, it was at times possible to negotiate lower rental prices. That really wouldn't have been an option for us for a week long stay. I felt this unit was fairly priced for what was provided. I can see how other reviewers would give the unit 5 stars if the upkeep issues were not there for them.

We LOVED it!!! Thanks so much for having a wonderful condo. The listing description and photos was more than accurate. The place was clean as well as the property. We loved using the pools and grills. We have a 2 year old and the kid pool was a hit. Also, the fact we did not have to cross the road to get to the ocean was a plus. Cort was more than helpful in all areas of the process. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Owner response:Mahalo Kelly for being a guest. I am very happy to hear you had such an enjoyable time at the condo and on the beautiful island of Maui. Please consider coming back someday and if you have any friends that are vacationing in Maui please consider sharing your experience at my place with them. Thank you again :) Court

I booked this place because the pictures were impressive... It was a dream come true when we got there. It is so beautiful. The view was breathtaking. The facilities impeccable. Every little thing you need... like a sewing kit, was there! Court is a genuinely nice guy. Ready to answer any and every question. Book this place without a doubt in your mind! and get ready to have a blast!!!

Owner response:Dear Jeannifer Estrada, Thank you for being a guest and I am very happy to hear you had a pleasant stay at my condo and a wonderful time in Maui. I agree the management and staff keep the facilities on site in perfect order. Thank you for finding the sewing kit helpful as you never know when a guest might need it. I try to have the little extras available for my guests necessities. I hope you come back some day to Maui and visit. Mahalo :) Court

Honeymoon in Maui

Date of Stay: 12/23/11 Review Submitted: 01/02/12

We had a great time in Maui and will return one day for sure. The condo was very clean and well maintained. The entire complex was also very clean with lots of amenities, such as grills, pools, beach access, and close to grocery stores, and shopping. The description (pictures) of the condo and complex are accurate. The owner promptly responded to any questions we had and was very friendly. We would absolutely recommend this condo to relatives and close friends. We recommend that future users of the property rent a car and travel to as much of the island as possible. Our favorite beaches were Big Beach and Makena Landing in Makena. We also traveled to Honolua Bay and Hamoa Bay. Both were amazing. Take advantage of the pristine waters and go snorkeling at Ahihi cove or Makena Landing. Our favorite Restaurants in Kihei were Isana Restaurant and Thailand Cuisine. Also, we recommend that those people with Costco Membership get food supplies in Kahului and cook at the condo. Eating out can get expensive. The entire island experience was fabulous.

This was our first experience with renting a condo using Homeaway. We had no idea how the process worked so we asked a question online to the owner. Within minutes our phone rang. Not only did Court answer our question but he took the time to explain how the entire process worked. We decided to book with Court for 10 days. Our expectations were more than exceeded. This condo had everything we could ask for and there were many activities within minutes. We loved the view from the lanai!! The grounds were well kept, the pool and BBQ area was clean and there were many lawn chairs available. There were plenty of bath, beach towels and linens. The kitchen was well supplied and allowed us to cook many of our meals on site. We really appreciated the quality cookware and appliances. We would suggest Times Supermarket. They had very reasonable prices. The condo was very well decorated and had all the amenities of home. After leaving this condo to visit Oahu, we wished we had stayed here. Thank you for providing such a high quality, comfortable and well cared for condo. It made our stay unforgettable. I would recommend this place to anyone. Mahalo from Mike & Kelley!!

Guest: Idan G. (Ramat Gan)
Date of Stay: 10/05/11 Review Submitted: 10/23/11

I expected it to be excellent. it looked promising looking at the pics. very seldom you come with lots of expectations and wind up returning with those expectations EXCEEDED. The owner, Court, was super gracious and patient. he answered every question I had and was always available, plus he was always super nice. The condo has everything you want: ocean view, well facilitated kitchen, comfy bed, lots of room, and everything very well maintained (even has 2 boogie surfboards!). the premises has couple of BBQ stations, 2 pools (one for kids) and a nice jacuzzi. My advice is, go shop at Safeway (Kahului) for groceries for the entire time you're there, and do breakfast + dinner at the condo using all the pans, pots, grills and other great stuff (plus it's cheaper and probably healthier). The location is the best there is: right in the center, minutes away from Kahului (airport) and the mid-western coastline - 1 hour from the north western part (Kanapali, etc...) and 2.5 hours from Red Sand @Hana. Also, from what I understand, the little nightlife there is in Maui in general, is concentrated mostly in Kihei, where the condo is. In conclusion: superb, recommended, LOVED It. Thanks Court!

The condo was clean, well equipped and centrally located. We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai at the end of the day. The grounds were also well maintained. We spent a lot of time snorkeling and the location provided us with easy access to multiple beaches that were ideal for snorkeling. I would not hesitate to recommend this condo to a friend.

We loved this location - very nicely decorated and great location. The view from the balcony is great, the pools are great, and a few steps from the beach can't be beat!! We also loved Court who was wonderful to work with, whether it was questions beforehand or while we were there (and on a different timezone). Chatting with the housekeeper at the end of the weekend confirmed our suspicions - this was one of the better places, even in this apt building. Trust me, you won't regret it!! Definitely worth it!! Perfect for all ages.

Owner response:Thank you Sejal for being a guest and choosing to stay here. I am very pleased to hear that you and your family had a wonderful vacation. I strive as does housekeeping and management to make the trip to Maui a memorable and enjoyable experience. Come back and visit again soon :) Mahalo, Court Roberts

We stayed in this unit for 2 weeks and did not want to live. This is a very nice condo with high-end finishes. It is very nicely done and decorated. The mattress is so comfortable, my husband had to take a peek at the label so we can buy the same one when it's time! The condo comes fully equipped with a nice kitchen that includes everything you need to prepare meals, a lovely bathroom and a large walk-in closet. There were even paperback books available for beach reading! We made use of the cooler for beach trips as well as the beach chairs. The lanai was where we spent almost every evening. The breeze off the ocean feels wonderful. You have lovely views of both the ocean and the mountains. We loved Maui and found the condo to be a central location for exploring. The weather in this section of the island is just perfect. We never used the air conditioning, but always kept the sliding doors open to let the breezes in. The ceiling fans made it more than comfortable. We did look at other units of the complex during our stay (they were for sale) and found this particular unit to be really the best one by far. I can very confidently say that you will not regret renting this unit.

Owner response:Thank you for being a guest and your wonderrful compliments. I hope you can make it back in the future. I love it there too and find it to be a slice of heaven as well Much Aloha to you, Court.

Date of Stay: 05/24/11 Review Submitted: 06/05/11

We stayed at this condo for 8 days in May. It was absolutely gorgeous. The pictures and description were bang on and the owner was great to deal with. The grounds are beautifully manicured and well cared for. The only complaint we had, which is VERY minor of course, is the fact that the beach is great for strolling but not so good for swimming. This isn't too big of an issue though as there are some great beaches within a 5 min drive. We will definitely consider this unit for our next trip.

Owner response:Aloha Craig and Cinnamon, It was great having you as a guest and I hope you will return to beautiful Maui soon. The beach is a great place to run and enjoy the beautiful sunsets but your right as far as swimming. When the tide is out there are some rocks before reaching the water but there are so many great places to swim just a short distance away. I love to sit out there and watch the amazing Maui sunsets we all know Maui is so famous for. Mahalo, Court

Date of Stay: 05/16/11 Review Submitted: 07/11/11

The condo was excellent! Clean, comfortable and as nice as the pictures. The pool was great for days not spent at the beach, or to relax by in the evening. It was conveniently located close to shops, beaches and restaurants and only a short distance from the airport. The owner was helpful, available to answer questions and provide suggestions for daily tourist activities. The condo's great location made driving around that much easier. We loved the Luau at the Grand Wailea, driving to see the sunrise at Haleakala, the Molokini snorkeling tour and breakfast at Kihei Caffe. Should you have time, a brief drive to Lahaina and Whaler's Village for shopping, activities (i.e surfing) and restaurants is worth it. From the first e-mail sent to our eventual departure, our stay in Maui was amazing! We will definitely look to rent this property again in the near future, as well, recommend the property to both friends and family. Thanks Court for making our stay in Maui that much more memorable!

We had such a great time here on our vacation! Everything that we needed was right here in the unit. Beautifully designed from floor to ceiling. The natural stone bathroom was wonderful! A Bluray Disc player and flat screen TV, made watching movies in such a lovely living room just perfect. Enjoying dinner out on the lanai and watching the most beautiful sunsets made wonderful memories for us. And the bed made it extremely difficult to get out of, as it is just the most comfortable thing! The only tough thing we experienced during our stay was leaving. We really appreciate everything and look forward to our next visit. We LOVE Maui!

We spent a month in this condo from Dec 7, 2010 to Jan 7, 2011. It is a comfortable, completely furnished condo. It is as beautiful as the pictures look. We have stayed at this complex many times, but this is the nicest one we have had. If you want to sleep with the doors open to enjoy the weather, this is it - since the bedroom opens onto the lanai as well as the living room. The kitchen is beautiful and you can see out while cooking. Plenty of room for the two of us, but there is a futon in the living room and could accomodate more.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kihei. Court was helpful and gracious through our entire stay. We found the condo to be clean, well furnished, and in the perfect location. Each night a short walk across the lawn put us on the beach for beautiful sunsets. The ammenities; pool, hot tub, and bar-be-que, added to our experience. We found everything to be as advertised and would recommend Kihei and this condo experience to anyone, we have already recommended it to family and friends. We appreciate the value and plan to return soon and often. Sincerely, Joe & Carolyn

We absolutely loved the condo. It was centrally located for everything you need...grocery store, Starbucks, drug store, restaurants, including McDonald's and Jack in the Box, gas stations, open air markets, Snorkel Bob's and Boss Frog's to rent snorkel equipment and great beaches...all within 5 minutes driving distance. I highly recommend the drive to Wailea (about 15 minutes) for the beach though. The condo was beautiful and the kitchen had everything to make you feel at home. The bedroom was nice and big with lots of drawer space for clothes. There were plenty of towels, extra sheets, a blow dryer, iron, a nice walk-in closet, coolers to take to the beach, beach chairs and one set of adult snorkeling equipment. The grills down by the pool are very convenient. The pools and hot tub were nice too. My 7-year old loved them. The beach is close but small and the tradewinds were pretty bad so we opted for other beaches. The balcony was nice to have morning coffee or meals at, with views of the ocean and Haleakala. It was easily accessible from the living room and the bedroom with sliding glass doors in both. You could see the sunrise and the sunset from the balcony too. Court was always available via email or phone and was very accommodating. The front desk was helpful and there was a concierge to book any excursion you wanted to do. I highly recommend this condo and would gladly stay here again.

Excellent stay

Guest: Kurt (Massachusetts)
Date of Stay: 08/02/10 Review Submitted: 09/20/10

We were very pleased with our stay at the condo. Most notable: 1. The condo is in top shape. Everything looks really nice in the pictures, but it's even better than you think. Really amazing. 2. Excellent view - you can look right out the window and see the ocean. 3. Location - you're close to groceries, restaurants, and beaches. And the location on the island allows you to get to anywhere else on the island fairly easily. One downside is that the condo is right next to a road that gets a fair amount of traffic so there's some noise with that. Also, the dumpsters seem to be emptied daily around 6-7am which definitely isn't quiet. But that's a minor quibble. 4. Price - From what I was able to find online this was an excellent price for an ocean-view location in this area (or any area on Maui). 5. Staff was very helpful at the front desk & concierge, and the pool & hot tub were nice to have as well. Overall, very happy with the stay, and would happily stay there again in the future.

Courtney, WOW ! Your condo is absolutely gorgeous. And the view is incredible. We enjoyed our coffee on the lanai in the morning and a cocktail at night. In fact, we think it had magnetic powers because it kept drawing us out to it . Also your condo is very conducive to entertaining. Both of our sons live on Maui and it was wonderful to be able to prepare a meal for them knowing that everything we needed was in that fabulous and spacious kitchen. Do you get the feeling that we loved your place ? We'll definitely be returning !!!!! Sincerely, Rori & Alan

We stayed this condo on the above dates. The condo is exactly as the pictures depict. If you like to cook the kitchen is well-equipped with every pot, pan & kitchen utensil you would ever need. (A rarity in most vacation rentals!!) We enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the whales cruise by just off the shore. There are barbeques & the beach is just in front of the condo building. We enjoyed our stay & the only thing that concerned us was the traffic noise but Courtney has a wonderful water feature in the entry of the condo that masks the cars driving by....so all in all, the condo is everything it says it is in the description....it is very clean & the televisions have every channel imaginable. It was a great place to stay...close to restaurants & grocery stores (& of course, all the open air craft markets!!) Thank you for a wonderful place to stay, Courtney. Aloha, Janet & Scott

The electronic entry into the unit is a really convenient feature and made coming and going a breeze.Flat panel tv's in the living room and bedroom were a really nice touch along with DVD/CD players. The Kitchen has everything you need for cooking and was great for entertaining our friends who live in Maui. The ocean view from the Lanai was really nice and the outside grills came in handy when cooking up some of the local fish we caught. The condo came well equipped with all beach items you would need like chairs, coolers, boogie boards etc. If I had to pick one thing that really stood out as the best thing about the condo, it would have to be the bed. It was as good as you will find in 4-5 star hotels. Really really comfortable. Just watch that you don’t cut the corner to close when passing by it when headed to the dresser or you will hit your shin. Ouch!Our friends who live in Maui thought it was one of the best condos they had seen for rent and were wondering if Court would rent on a full time basis to them.Nice job Court. Hopefully I can stay there again next time I am in Maui.

We stayed at this unit for the 1st week of our honeymoon and wished we stayed there for the entire 2 weeks we were in Maui. It was a great condo for couples. It was very clean and well-maintained. It has a spacious and modern kitchen. The king-sized bed was so comfortable that we always had a restful sleep. There were lots of beach chairs, boogie boards, beach mats in the unit to use too. It was a quick 5 min drive to the main beaches such as Kamaole One and closer to popular restaurants and strip malls. We would definitely recommend this unit to friends/family. We would rent this unit again next time we are in Maui again. Also, the owner is very helpful and thorough. He quickly responded to all my emails. Two suggestions: - provide a secured internet connection instead of unsecured - map/directions from parking lot to elevator which is located in the middle of the building - washer/dryer in the unit

My husband and I just came back from Maui for our 10 yr Anniversary! We stayed at Kauhale Makai Unit #501, from 11/8/09-11/15/09, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was everything that it was represented to be from the pictures and the description. We found the location to be Clean, very quiet, serene, and comfortable. We especially liked the fact that we had our own balcony from which we could enjoy the view of the ocean and the daily sunrise/sunsets. Another big convenience was the well stocked kitchen. We could make it our home away from home by making dinner there at the condo when we wanted just a quiet dinner for two at the condo. The pool area was very well maintained. We swam there some evenings, and enjoyed the jacuzzi which was very relaxing. There are several good take-out restaurants, and a supermarket, Foodland, just a mile or two north on Kihei road, so we were able to stock the refrigerator with anything we needed for the days we just wanted to "chill" at the condo. Court was also very easy to get hold of in case we had any questions while we were at the condo. Thank you, Court, for providing wonderful vacation condo for our stay. We will definitely contact you again when we return to Maui.

My boyfriend and I have to thank-you so much for making our trip to Maui unbelievable. Your condo was so beautiful and pictures do it no justice. We found the condo very warm and welcoming. The view was spectacular and we enjoyed a few evenings out on the lanai with a glass of wine just taking in our surroundings. The location is perfect and central to everything. The evenings were very relaxing and so was our time by the pool. We did many visits to different locations as we did end up renting a little jeep and even drove the road to Hana. Thank-you for all of your help during our booking process and there after. We did not want to leave Saturday evening and are already planning our return to Kihei next year and to your condo.

The condo on the inside was gorgeous and is stocked with everything you might need for your vacation. Everything from beach essentials to pots and pans and other daily essentials. We will definitely be staying here again when we go back to Maui!

We had an amazing two-week vacation on Maui. The condo was beautiful - even nicer (and bigger) in person than in the photos. The location was great - very centrally located to take advantage of everything this island has to offer. The condo was very clean and the condo management on site were very helpful. Court was very easy to work with when we booked the condo and insisted we call him when we arrived. Overall, a great experience and we will be back next year!

My parents stayed here when they were in Maui and recommended that my husband and I stay here on our honeymoon. From the very beginning, we were impressed with the place. The condo is conveniently located near the airport, close to shopping, restaurants and right on the beach! The whole complex is relaxing and quiet and there is a great view of the ocean from the lanai! The condo on the inside was gorgeous and is stocked with everything you might need for your vacation. Everything from beach essentials to pots and pans and other daily essentials. We will definitely be staying here again when we go back to Maui!

Location! Location! Location! This awesome condo is centrally located within 25-30 minutes of Lahaina, Wailea and Kahului. In addition to the spectacular sunset and ocean views from your lanai, Haleakala is visible from outside your entry way. Both the accommodations and the owner's service exceeded our high expectations. The on-site service manager mentioned that this was the nicest renovated unit on the property. The pictures barely do it justice. The kitchen, interior design and layout are exceptional for a vacation condo. We were amazed at how well stocked it is. For example, it has two ice chests, beach mattes, small beach umbrellas, mini float boards and almost anything you might need. This will now be our home away from home when we return to Maui. Thank you Courtney!

We just got back from 11 days on Maui. Our stay was a wonderful memorable experience and we will definatly stay at Kauhale Makai #501 again! It is a beautifully decorated unit with a view of the ocean and pool area. The unit is very clean and well supplied. We had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. I loved drinking my coffee on the lanai watching the sun come up every morning. Just thinking about it makes me miss it! The owner of the unit, Court was so nice, helpful and easy to reach. Can't wait to go back next year!

This condo is definitely first rate. You have a wonderful view...location...location...location. We watched the whales jumping right from our balcony and the sunsets are unbelievable. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The condo is well stocked with everything you will need. We have stayed in a number of different places and would rank this as the best of all rental units.

Wonderful!! We stayed the first 2 weeks in December. Court has made his condo very inviting and comfortable, with all the upgrades and ammenities. The veiw, perfect. We used the bus system on Maui to get around - and the bus stop was close by. Thanks Court for creating such a nice getaway - we'll be back.

This is a lovely condo in a very nice complex with a great ocean view! The kitchen is totally updated with granite countertops, new appliances, any and all cookware, etc.. Tile floors throughout, flat screen HDTV in living room and bedroom, stone in bathroom, beach chairs and coolers for your use. Not lacking in anything. Court was a phone call away if we needed anything. Grounds are kept up very nicely with brand new gas grills on property which we used often. Great location near many beautiful swimming and snorkeling beaches, restaurants and shopping. We will definitely make this our Home Away from Home again!

This place was awesome!The location was great because it was just a few minutes past the hustle and bustle of the main drag for Kihei but close enough to get to everything.The interior of the condo was very impressive: All new interior, gorgeous bathroom with slate, large new kitchen, flat screen TV’s with cable and even wireless internet with an ocean view right from the balcony!The owner was very accessible and accommodating. Plus, someone is on the premises to answer any immediate needs and act as a "concierge" with suggestions for beaches, restaurants, etc...We will most definitely stay here again!Thank you for making our Maui experience so enjoyable and affordable!!

We stayed in this condo while visiting Maui for our daughter's wedding in August. There were several other couples who also stayed at this complex...this was BY FAR the nicest of all the condos. It is beautifully decorated with very highend amenities. In the 25+ years we have been vacationing on Maui, this was the most beautiful condo we have ever rented. We will definately be back. Thank you for sharing your condo!
