Exceeded our expectations

This unit has the "WOW" factor on entering. The decor is amazingly well done and creates a very comfortable, clean, functional and surprisingly spacious unit in which to stay for a very reasonable price on Maui, The pictures do not quite do it justice. On top of that we found the bed extremely comfortable and the kitchen (although a tad small) very appealing and adequately functional for a couple who like to do as much self-catering as possible when traveling.We were able to cook breakfast and eat it on the Lanai, prepare sandwiches for day trips and barbecue evening meals. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend ti to anybody looking for a good place to stay. Definitely exceeded our expectations!

GREAT CONDO!!! I spent 2 weeks in Brett and Jennifer’s condo, and it was a perfect place to spend my vacation. Beautiful wood floors and lots of light…it felt very open and airy. The décor is beautiful and the kitchen is very modern with everything I needed. I thought I’d be going out to eat all the time, but I ended up cooking several meals at “home”. The location is across the street from a nice park and the beach, in a quiet area, yet close to all the restaurants and shopping in south Kihei. It’s a very friendly complex, and I met some great people at the pool/Jacuzzi/bbq area. We had a great time celebrating July 4th! All the amenities I needed were there…even a printer, so I could go online and print out information as well as my return plane ticket. Brett and Jennifer were so friendly and helpful…they were available to help me navigate around the island, and saved me a lot of time and trouble getting around to the beautiful sites of Maui. All in all, I felt very lucky, and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. I’m definitely going to book this condo on my next trip here later this year!

My wife and I had never been to Maui and were more than a little shocked to discover that it's really hard to find a decent/clean hotel room for less than 250/night. Some searching on the Internet brought me to Brett and Jennifer. The suite is exactly what you see in the pictures. There's a partial ocean view and the unit has had a lot of really nice upgrades. The kitchen is great and the laminate floors in the living room/bedroom are a nice touch. There's a next-to-brand-new AC unit that kept the room comfortably cool and the high-speed Internet let us check our email and keep track of the rest of the world. We got more use out of the kitchen than we imagined we would. At first we thought we'd use the fridge to keep drinks cold but a couple of days in we'd stocked the fridge with simple groceries like fresh pineapples and sandwich fixings from the nearby grocery store. We'd didn't go as far as to cook a turkey dinner but I don't see what would of stopped us had we been so inclined. The wind would come up in the afternoons so my wife would hang out by the pool to avoid blowing sand and I'd turn on the AC and have a mid-afternoon nap. Brett & Jennifer have really stocked the suite with everything you'd need for a holiday. The kitchen has pots and pans and all that good stuff but there's also boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, tennis rackets, and a ton of other stuff. Short of a sailboat or SCUBA gear, there was everything you'd ever need for a Maui vacation right there in the suite. This is a study suite so I don't think the space would be especially conducive to families or large groups but if you're looking for a getaway with your significant other, this condo fits the bill perfectly. There's no room service or concierge but that's not what we were looking for. We wanted a clean, comfortable, well-managed suite that was close to the beach and this unit did all that and more.

Wow, what a great place!! It's extremely clean and well-supplied with everything I need to make me feel like I'm in my own home. The beautiful light-wood floor and furniture give this studio a bright,airy, very spacious feeling, and the bed and sofa are incredibly comfortable. I love sitting on the lanai at sunset, or having coffee in the morning...and there's a nice little park and great beach right across the street. I thought I'd be going out to dinner every night, but I already cooked a meal in the well-equipped modern kitchen. Best of all, the owners were so friendly, easy to communicate with, and so knowledgeable about the island...they're making it easy to do and see everything I want without wasting my time trying to orient myself. Great condo, great location, great vacation...I'm going to definitely stay here on my next visit!

My stay was a good one and I have stayed here before. I noticed this time around that some things need replacing. The bedding was old and the pillows not good. One of the cases were stained and the blanket had tears on the underside. The kitchen as wonderful as it is lacks supplies. Like a sharp knife, scissors, a wash cloth or scrub brush for cleaning dishes, a dust pan to go with the broom. The lighting around the bed is lacking (no lamps). The biggest thing was the shower head. I ended up using my friends shower down stairs. The settings are extremly hard or non existent. There is a hand held shower as well as the regular one, however its very awkward to use, and there is no hook for it. The toilet roll holder falls into three pieces every time you look at it. These are all little things and they did not ruin our stay what so ever. But I would not return unless a bit of love goes into this place. The first Time we stayed was amazing and I can see that time takes its toll. Other units rent for less and have do not have these issues.

Owner response:We are so sorry that 203 did not live up to standards. We love our little place and only want it to be the best place possible. We took your advice and had fun shopping and buying things for the condo. It was like remodeling all over again. We bought new pillows and all new bedding. We replaced the shower head. There is a new cutlery set in the kitchen with scissors and very sharp knives. We put in new utensils, new pots and pans, pot holders and matching towels, a new kitchen mat, and put the cutest little palm tree lamp next to the bed. The toilet paper will hold paper without breaking now, brand new. We have touched-up lots of things and the place looks awesome. We would like you to come back and stay with us. We only want to provide the best we can for you. We have resolved the issues with the condo. We hope you will come back to Maui very soon. Mahalo for your input and your stay with us.

I 100% recommend that you get ahold of Brett & Jennifer and rent this unit! They are totally there to make your expierence in paradise a great one. This unit had 3 beach chairs (two of which worked like a back pack) and beach umbrella, several beach mats, two boogie boards, and even some sun tan lotion! They own Maui cleaning company and upon my arrival the place was so clean you could eat off the floor. The unit has been remodled and the bed was super comfortable. No levelor windows which made it much more enjoyable to enjoy the view. The free internet coonection and long distance calls was really nice. The kitchen was nice with stainless steel appliances, and beautiful granite counter-tops. This resort has a very nice pool and hot tub. It is very nice property with banana and papaya trees. Across the street is a nice beach, and if you go out past the jetty you will see awesome reefs and turtles! I really hated to leave, and Brett even called the morning of my departure to tell me there was no rush in leaving because the next tenant wasn't coming in until later that evening. In all my visits to Maui, Brett and Jennifer were the most awesome people that I have rented from. I will back on Maui in December, and it's nice to know that I don't have to shop online for a place to say because I will stay at their unit again for sure! Best unit in the complex and the price is a real bargain. No need to stay at a more expansive place because you don't spend that much time in your room. The pictures you see online are what you will really see. I felt that the picture online does not do the real view justice.....I feel it's better in person. Thank you Brett and Jennifer for such an awesome place! Aaron

We just came home from a wonderful stay at the Kihei Bay Surf. We were originally a little hesitant about renting on line but were more than pleasantly surprised by the condo. It was as pretty as in the pictures and location is extremely convenient. The owners have made us feel very much at home and all online processes easy. We have already planned another visit back in April.
