Our new home away from home

We stayed in this beautiful condo from Jan 2-10, 2011 and loved it from the moment we arrived. This is a clean, spacious and inviting condo with all the essentials you could think of both in the kitchen and for the beach. Beach access is right across the street, or you walk to the left or right and you have the choice of even more. Restaurants and shops are also just around the corner and everything is reasonably priced. If you plan on staying in just the South Kihei area, then you can get away without a rental car quite easily, but this unit does come with parking, and it's a close convenient spot at that! Arranging our booking and payment was a breeze and the owner Diane is very quick at responding and lovely to chat with. It's easy to see she takes pride in her place and that her main goal is for guests to feel welcome and at home. This place truly is a home away from home and we hope to back in the near future. Mahalo Diane!

My husband & I were in this unit for the last 2 weeks of December 2011. This is our 4th time to Maui, our 4th stay at this complex, & our 2nd time to stay in this particular condo. There will be a 3rd! This condo is clean, has a great view of the complex & the sunset & is only a 2 minute walk to the beach. The renovations are a nice update & we feel comfortable & at home. There are quality linens & beach towels which make our stay even more comfortable. The resort complex is in a convenient location & within walking distance to several beaches, restaurants, some shopping, & a gorgeous sunset view every evening. Extras with the condo like beach chairs, boogie boards, a travel cooler, & more mean you don't have to buy any of these during your trip. Dealing with the owners was easy & a very pleasant experience - they are quick to respond to emails. The difference with this condo & some that we have seen (we had 14 condos rented when we were at the this complex in 2005 for our wedding) is that the owners take pride in the unit & obviously vacation in it. Looking at other units, you can tell which ones are strictly used for revenue purposes. They don't feel like a 'home'. My only hesitation with writing a good review for this condo is that I don't want it to be booked the next time we decide to go back to Maui! :)

My girlfriend won a trip with company. We wanted to fly in 3 days early and were looking for a place to stay then the hotel. We came across this Condo and could not have been happier. It was beautiful. I loved the kitchen so much that I am doing mine the same way in the spring. It was so comfortable we almost did not want to go onto the hotel because we loved it. It was well maintained and clean. Walking distance from restaurants and beaches and shopping. We never rented a car. Let me just say one thing, this was better than an expensive hotel for you felt like it was home. If My girlfriend or I win the trip again to Hawaii I will be renting this condo again. The owner was so helpful and everything went so smooth. What a great place.

Exquisite beauty, scented air, spectacular views. Comfy, clean, gracious. Beautiful grounds. A sweet short stroll to a perfect beach. White sand, clear water, great snorkelling, giant turtles, tidal pools. Egrets in the trees. Watch dawn break and the sun set over the islands and sea from the lanai. And the sky follows you inside on those mirrors. The mountain breezes are better than AC. The bed is JUST RIGHT. Cook in the gorgeous kitchen? barbecue by the pool, tacos at Fred's or...? Everything you could need is at hand... and very convenient to all the other wonders of Maui. Mahalo nui, for sharing your Kihei 'paradise on earth'.

This has been our fourth stay in Maui, and we loved this place! We greatly appreciated being welcomed with chocolates and a lovely card, along with the many amenities provided. We were grateful to find boogie boards,sand chairs, and an umbrella, along with coolers to round out our beach time. It was so nice to return after a day on the beach, and relax on the lanai, with the incredible views. It is also conveniently located, across from the beach, and shops within walking distance. We will highly recommend this place to friends who have the opportunity to vacation in Maui. The owner invited feeback about our stay, and is committed to making this home a welcoming destination for vacationers.
