Unless you absolutely need an ocean view, this is the place to stay. Great spot, fabulous garden view and 30 feet to the pool. Nice location in the middle of Kihei. Highly recommended. Will use it again.

Great location, convenient and condo has a lot of extras, such as coolers, boogie boards, etc. The A/C was out when we got there, the owners were very quick to have another one put it, I couldn't ask for nicer owners. Free internet was great, as well as the washer & dryer. The only thing I would add is a comfortable chair, I was tempted to buy a leather recliner from craigslist. LOVE LOVE LOVE Maui!!! Still our favorite island and always will be. Thanks Terri!!!

Owner response:Thank you, Cheryl, for the great comments. I am so happy that I could help you, quickly and efficiently, with the air conditioner. I try very hard to make my guest feel wanted and welcome. I hope you return to the island soon and that you will make our condo your home, again, during your stay. I will check into the chair, but I do love my rocking chair. Have a healthy and happy New Year. Terri

First trip to Maui

Ths was my partner and I's fist trip to Maui. This condo was absolutely perfect. Kammole 2 beach is right across the street, very quiet and perfect for those lazy days. Big beach is a 10minute drive down the road- excellent for boogieboarding. Freds right next door- very good food! and excellent margaritas. Everything you could possibly need is within walking distance or a short car ride away. we will be staying here again in the near future.

Owner response:Jacqueline, thank you for your wonderful comments. You are always welcome back to our condo...your home away from home in Maui. Hope you have a healthy and happy New Year. Terri

Guest review

The Kihei Akahi My husband and I arrived in Maui – our first time back there in many years – and were eager to see what our accomodation, booked over the internet, would be like. The setting was impressive – beautifully kept grounds surrounded us as we eased the car into our numbered spot. Our condo was bright and airy. Sunny yellow and soft blue walls echoed the sunshine outdoors, the floors were light wood and the furniture was comfortable. The fully stocked kitchen was small, but efficient, with lots of dishes and utensils available. An enticing cookbook sat on the counter, for anyone so inclined to whip up delicious Hawaiian treats. The full-sized gas stove was very efficient, and the dishwasher made cleaning up easy. The washer and dryer in the unit was a very welcome bonus! With three adult family members, plus a baby, next door, we had a few meals, “at home” together, and found that our table and chairs were perfect for the occasions. A large king sized bed promised a good night’s sleep, after a busy day in the sun and surf! The cupboards were stocked with clean linens and towels, as well as picnic hampers and other beach accessories, and even included a baby stroller. A short walk led to the beautiful beach, with all the sand and surf anyone could want! We enjoyed the large screen TV in the evenings, especially the Maui channel, which showed all the wonderful things Maui has to offer the visitors. We also noticed there was a computer cable hook-up available at no charge. We could step out our front door and across the grass to the gated swimming pool, an area which held two large barbeques and lots of lounge chairs It is very apparent that the owners of this condo are proud of their vacation home, and want others to feel the same. They have succeeded very well! Barbara Leonard, Victoria, B. C. Canada November 1st, 2011.

We just spent 10 delightful days at this condo (wish it had been longer!). It was clean, confortable and convenient to surrounding attractions. Have already recommended it to our daughter, and some friends.. The decor had the perfect Hawaian feel, and the surrounding property was beautifully maintained, with a grassy area and lovely trees - all convenient to the well-kept swimming pool. Two barbeques were available so, no line-ups! The beautiful Wailea area is close by - Wailea Golf Club's restaurant is excellent. Plenty of other restaurants close by as well as food markets and a deli. Dining in also a pleasure with the condo's fully equipped kitchen. The owners have provided plenty of informatioin and equipment, in the condo, to make your holiday a great experience!

Terri and Gary's Maui condo is great. It was everything we hoped for. It is well equipped, and nicely decorated. Being on the ground floor means having a "rear entrance" with very quick access to the pool/BBQ area. Did you forget the BBQ sauce, need another drink, snack?, the condo is steps away, VERY handy. Being in building D it is far enough away from South Kihei Road to make it very a quiet location, a little longer walk to the beach, but worth it. Kamaole Beach #2 is a great beach, if you don't feel like going far, otherwise there are many beaches within a 10-15 minute drive offering a wide selection of adventure. There are many good restaurants and shops close by, perfect for an evening walk. The grounds of the complex are well kept and offer a variety of tropical flowers, just imagine "Birds of Paradise" bushes....... yes bushes!!! You don't get that where we come from. We made Terri and Gary's condo our Maui home for the first time recently, and given how happy we were, we hope to do so again. Hopefully sooner than later!!!

Owner response:Hi Bernadette and Don, Thank you so much for choosing our condo to stay in while on vacation on Maui. It is nice to know that our condo can be so welcoming and that you felt at home. Thank you, also, for all of the goodies you left for future guests to enjoy. You are welcome back anytime. Enjoy the fall colors at home. Terri

This was our 2nd trip to Maui and our 1st staying at Terri & Gary's condo. It met or exceeded all our excpectations. The location was perfect, lots of restaurants, bars & shops within walking distance. The beach nice and close but the best feature was being able to walk off the lanai right to the pool & BBQ. I felt for people that had to walk all the way around the building to get to the pool. The condo was very well outfitted for cooking and playing. Terri & Gary where very accomodating and a pleasure to deal with. I will be recommending their place to friends & family going to Maui.

Owner response:Hi Judy and Graham, Thank you for staying at our condo. You were the perfect guests and you are both welcome to come back. Thank you, also, for the great review. We really appreciate it. Terri and Gary

I was incredibly happy with my stay at Terri and Gary's condo the first time I visited, and this second visit surpassed my first. There have been so many upgrades to the home that added to the convenience and atmosphere. The hardwood floors were great - no more messes after returning from the beach! I enjoyed all of the thoughtfully provided creature comforts as well - so nice to have all the kitchen gadgets, DVDs, and free internet. I have told my friends and family about this wonderful home. My husband and I are comforted in knowing that we have a great place to stay when we visit Maui in the future (which hopefully is never too far away). Thank you for sharing your home with us, you have made each of our visits memorable. Lance and Rachel, San Juan Islands, Washington

Owner response:Hi Rachel and Lance, Thank you for the great review. We hope you can return very soon. Terri and Gary

We stayed at Terri & Garys condo for a month Feb 15 to March 12 ,We like this part of the island and return yearly.The complex is well situated with three beachs right in front of it.The condo was clean and nicely decorated ,with all the conveniences you need,the pool is steps from your door,making it great for relaxing or enjoying a BBQ lunch or supper,the grounds are nicely kept with lawn right outside the door .There are stores and restaurants very close by,there are sidewalks or beachs to walk on making it easy to get around.If you enjoy touring you probably need a car ,but if you like to stay close to home you could probably get away without one,there is public transit nearby.In season you can get kayaks close by (5 palms) and get fantastic whale shows .

Owner response:Hi Deanna, Thank you for the great review. I am so happy you and Cal enjoyed your stay. I know you will be counting the days until next years return to our condo. Thank you, again Terri

We have just returned from 17 nights at Terri and Gary's place. The location in the complex is ideal for immediate access to the pool and the BBQ area as the unit opens right onto the grassy area. Terri and Gerri have provided everything you need for your vacation including beach chairs, beach towels, sun umbrellas, and snorkel gear. The appliances in the kitchen are brand new and the living room is spacious enough to entertain easily. For those who like to sleep in (and soundly) the bedroom is quite dark and quiet. We had a great time!
