The location of the condo was terrific providing easy access down south to Wailea, up north to Lahaina and out east to Paia and Hana. Our boys loved the pool and the small beach just outside the gate where they spent several early mornings looking for hermit crabs and shells. Being on the first floor of the condo made pool and beach access easy. Our family also enjoyed playing shuffle board located just outside the condo patio. Having the full kitchen made it easy to prepare breakfasts and dinners. The outdoor grill near the beach was perfect for grilling steaks. We appreciated the extra fans that were provided and the food cooler which we took to the beach one day. Overall it was a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Thanks again for providing such an excellent place to stay.

Owner response:We thank you for your kind comments. We hope to see you again!

Our first time in Maui, we chose the Ocean Breeze Hideaway on recommendation from friends who had previously stayed at the condo. At first I was worried that we were a little far from the main part of town, but soon realized that it was only a few minutes by car and the location was quieter, with a long stretch of beach for morning walks. Upon arrival, a bowl of fresh tropical fruit and a vase of flowers was there to welcome us. The condo is well outfitted, especially with lots of linens, towels and beach accessories. The in-suite laundry was very welcome after a day at the beach. The master bedroom has a queen bed, and faces onto the lanai and grounds; the 2nd bedroom has twin beds and is at the front of the condo. There are two full bathrooms, one with a bath and shower combo, and the other with a shower. The kitchen has full size appliances, plenty of dishes and small appliances, including a blender for making yummy tropical drinks. There were small amounts of some staples in the condo, but you may need to supply your own salt, pepper, sugar, plastic wrap, foil etc. unless the previous guests left some behind. I suggest bringing small packages of condiments etc. (ie from fast food restaurants) to avoid having to buy full size and throwing away any leftovers. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai every day, and used the bbq's on several occasions for dinner. The common bbq area is very clean and well maintained, with picnic tables adjacent and overlooking the ocean. The grounds are immaculate, and the pool area is just a few steps from the lanai. We enjoyed many afternoons unwinding poolside before dinner. The condo is not air conditioned but the ceiling fans and breezes kept us comfortable. We never found it too hot. The adjacent beach is great for walking off those big breakfasts, but we preferred Kamaole for swimming etc. Wailea and Big Beach are a short drive (hint - take Piilani Hwy rather than S Kihei Rd to avoild traffic snarls), and Kam Beaches are only a few minutes from the condo (we preferred Kam 1). Shopping is close by, both along S Kihei Road and the Safeway mall on Piilani, where there's also an Outback steak house and other eateries. For golfers, there is a nice course also on Piilani, just a few minutes from the condo. Bob and Sande were very helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay (just a phone call away if we needed anything). We very much enjoyed our stay at Ocean Breeze Hideawy, and hope to return.

We love our stays on Maui at Ocean Breeze Hideaway's Oceanfront Condo. The bang for the buck is tremendous! The fully equipped condo is centrally located on Maui and the oceanfront location makes it the perfect starting point for daily adventures. Just hanging out at the condo is very relaxing. The owners have thought of everything to make our stays very comfortable. We really enjoy all the "stuff" provided by the condo owners that you need to enjoy the beaches of Maui ~ ~ beach towels, beach chairs, ice chest, umbrella, beach mats and even a huge selection of books to read. The kitchen is perfect for fixing meals for when you want to eat in. From the condo lanai there are views of the West Maui Mountains and Maalalea Bay. The roof top deck is perfect for sunsets that last forever. When you want to eat out, there are numerous very good restaurants within a 5 drive or a 15 minute stroll. A grocery store is near by........we love that convenience. We highly recommend you rent a car via the Ocean Breeze website. The car rental rates are great! We can't wait to return. Thank you Sande & Bob for making your Maui home our Maui home-away-from-home! .See you next year!
