3 BEDROOM Ocean View Maui Condo

We just returned from our stay on Maui last week! What an amazing location, we chose the perfect property, location and got very lucky to have an extremely responsive and accommodating property owner who went the extra mile to ensure our trip was enjoyable & absolutely embodied the feeling of Aloha! I truly felt like she genuinely cared about our family's happiness and enjoyment and wasn't just in it for the money! She responded very quickly to requests and if you are looking to rent a place, would highly recommend this one! I struggled with this decision for weeks and I don't regret my decision in the least! Where do I begin?

Location

This condo is the closest unit to the Ocean in the Kamaole Sands complex! You can see and hear the ocean from your lanais. There are TWO lanais BOTH have tables and chairs to enjoy dinner and a sunset as we did every night we were home. That is what it felt like, home :) It is a 1 minute walk to the beach. Go out your front door, walk across one small two lane road and across a small grassy knoll and you are there! The complex is very close to a few tasty eateries including: Koiso Sushi (best sushi I have ever eaten! Book a month in advance), South Maui Fish Company, Maui Fish N Chips, Maui Gelato and Ululani's Shave Ice. Also an ABC Store for those addictive Spam Musubi's and the T-shirt/Mac nuts/Beach Mat you need!

Owner

This can be a concern when renting from vrbo but have no fear! She will respond quickly and with kindness and accommodate you to the best of her ability. Just wonderful dealing with her! Do not hesitate or worry about this at all.

Amenities

The condo is well stocked and has all the creature comforts of home. There are plenty of pots and pans to cook some meals. All common/typical spices which you need are there as well. There are bowls, glasses, dishware, silverware, storage containers, etc. The TV is nice and large, there are two ipod docks, there are fans and A/C. Also there is PLENTY of beachy type equipment including chairs, a wagon, towels, a football, noodles, snorkel and fins, boogie boards, coolers, etc...

Beach

The beach was perfect, we saw 3-4 large and small sea turtles right there at the beach right by the condo! There are some rocky areas on either side of the good sized beach in between so it was perfect, we actually saw a ton of fish too right there so bring your snorkel/mask out!

We had 6 adults and we were all thrilled to stay at such a perfect convenient location!

We just returned from 11 nights here with 6 adults & 2 20 month old little boys. We had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of a ground unit for the boys to run in the grass, hunt for lizards and chase the sprinklers. The pool & BBQ areas were clean and we enjoyed the free "Mai Tai Happy Hour" on Wednesday afternoons.

The beach across the street has been one of our favorites in the past- great snorkeling, turtle watching from the beach and the sand is so soft. The little ones loved playing in the waves and digging in the sand. We even saw dolphins not far from the beach one morning!

The condo was equipped with most of the necessities but we really appreciated the beach cart that we filled each morning with chairs (6!), 2 big umbrellas, loads of beach toys, towels and a cooler- all provided in the unit. Such an easy walk to the beach.

The biggest downside for us was the difficulty getting the back 2 bedrooms to cool down. We didn't sleep well despite many fans going & the AC on in the living room. Any other issue that came up, the owner/manager responded quickly & kindly with.

We traveled into the area for a friends wedding and booked this beautiful condo for our family (myself, husband, 6 year old and my parents). The condo was beautifully furnished and we were surprised with all of the household supplies (toiletries, cleaning supplies) that were included. We were prepared for the minimum and were pleasantly surprised! The selection of beach supplies was excellent!! Lots of beach chairs, towels, toys, coolers and boogie boards - everything that we needed was provided. The kitchen was fully equipped with updated appliances and all utensils we needed. If the amenities included in the condo itself weren't enough, the location was absolutely perfect! The wonderful view, the close parking spots, the easy walk to the beach! AWESOME! Kim was great to deal with and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Our family had the joy of staying at this condo with its beautiful views and amazing amenities. The owners include items you can use at the beach (which is less than 40 feet from the condo lanai) for family fun, for BBQ'ing or lounging at the beautiful pool. The condo is just down the way from the pick-up spot for all the island adventures so we were able to do and see a lot all over the island and then return to a beautifully decorated home. The condo was very quiet, all you hear is the peaceful sound of the ocean. It's the closest to the ocean of all the condos and is peaceful and decadent.

my family recently returned from our 3rd trip to Maui. This was our 1st time staying in this unit. We were blown away! Such a beautiful condo with so many comforts and conveniences. You just can't beat the location, especially with small Children. No elevators to deal with or long walks from the parking lot. Our boys loved playing in the grassy area right in front of the lanai and hunting for frogs in the fountains at night. In the mornings we enjoyed breakfast on the lanai and were able to see the whales from there! This visit made a lifetime of memories!

Sincerely,

The Wallace/Shields Families
