Best Maui Beaches just a walk away, full view of Haleakala from your lanai!

We had a fantastic ten days at Marcia and Tony's place. Marcia was a lovely host, the condo was perfect for us - a couple with a friend in the other bedroom. The location, by so many great snorkeling spots, was perfect!

We tend to cook a lot, and were delighted at how well-appointed the kitchen was. We've never had such a great kitchen when traveling. Usually we grumble and make do, but it was almost like being at home!

The bedrooms, as mentioned by others, stay a little warm but you can blast the AC in the livingroom and keep the fans going to cool them down. Looks like they plan to install air conditioning units in the bedrooms soon, so it will be a non-issue!

Additional things that we really appreciated:

- Despite being over the parking lot, it was really quite a quiet spot. And it was convenient being so close to our car.

- The livingroom window faces east, so we had the morning sun and view of Haleakala - and did not have the blasting afternoon sun - that we happily hid from in the condo!

- The condo is the last in a row, so nobody walks past the front windows. It seems like one of the most private spots in the building.

- You can easily walk to stores and restaurants if you are so inclined.

Pro tip: Use reef-safe sunscreen in the ocean to save these beautiful reefs, and bring reusable bags!

After staying at the Kalama's fantastic condo at Pacific Shores, going to an expensive resort in Kaanapali for our final 3 days was a letdown! At the condo, we loved the autonomy and privacy we enjoyed with this generously outfitted, beautiful home.

Pacific Shores' location is perfect… halfway through Kihei, just across the street from the best beaches in town.

Within the condo complex, the Kalama's condo is in the ideal location. It's farthest away from S Kihei Rd, so it's quiet, with an unobstructed view of the gorgeous sunrise over Haleakala from the lanai. It’s also very private, as no one walks by your door, since it's an end unit and around a corner from the walkway. We really loved that!!

The condo complex is well maintained, with groundskeepers and security personnel working daily. Updates have been and are continuing to be done to the complex. The grounds are beautifully kept. It was extremely quiet for 10 out of 11 evenings, with just one fun Friday night party that quietened down in good time. The Kalama's parking spot is just across the lawn below the lanai. Being on the 3rd floor is great for the view but not so high that you don't want to take the stairs close by (although the elevator is handy too, as well as the complex's carts for moving luggage and groceries).

The condo complex's pool area is well maintained and clean, with a good-sized swimming pool, a nice hot tub, lounge chairs, umbrellas, BBQs, tables and chairs.

It's a beautiful home. The kitchen and bathrooms are newly renovated. The reclining leather loveseat and chairs, TV and access to Netflix, and two queen beds were perfect. The kitchen had tons of small appliances as well as cookware, dishes, etc. The in-suite laundry and air conditioning was appreciated! Both full bathrooms had towels, soap, shampoos, hair dryer. We were very happy with this clean, nice unit.

When I said it is generously outfitted, I meant it. Everything from dry goods in the cupboards to condiments in the fridge was available for our use, and each guest adds and uses what they need. We cooked like we were home. The Kalamas also left a couple boxes of Hawaiian chocolates and cookies as welcome gifts for us – loved that!!

There are also four short beach chairs (two that recline), two beach umbrellas, big towels, and a cooler!

Best of all, Marcia was very accommodating and thoughtful, answering questions very quickly and offering helpful ideas. We would love to rent from Marcia and Tony again!

The owners are lovely and helpful. They had so many little things like toilet paper, laundry pods and dishwasher detergent that made it lovely. There were little soaps and conditioners, ziplocks and chairs/cooler. We had an amazing stay!

Our stay at this condo was great! It had everything you could ask for in a vacation rental, two bedrooms and two full size bathrooms made plenty of room for guests to enjoy and have their own privacy. Everything is renovated with great style, and had every convenience you could ask for. Full kitchen, laundry, tvs in every room with cable and Netflix. That's just the condo. The location is perfect. It is a short walk to amazing sandy beaches with beautiful water and sunsets. There are countless restaurants, shops, and grocery stores all within walking distance, you don't even need to rent a car. The home owners were a dream to work with, very flexible amazing local people. We will definitely be back again! We live on Lanai and travel to Maui often, rentals and hotels have always been expensive and not satisfactory, until this place, this is the best rental we have found, will definitely be back again!!!
