A Five Star Condo
The condo at Haleakala Shores is the perfect vacation spot. I have never stayed in such a comfortable, roomy, and well-appointed VRBO. Every time I thought of something I might need to purchase, it was already to be found. The space is very open, and the bed is very comfortable. We slept well every night with the gentle breeze coming in the windows. The lanai is also very enjoyable for relaxing or eating al fresco.
The condo is all about location, location, and location. You are just steps across the street to a lovely park and beach. You are in walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and groceries. On your walk, you can have a mountain view (Haleakala) and beach view. We particularly enjoyed Fred's (Mexican and more for breakfast) and The Five Palms. Kihei is the perfect location for launching day trips anywhere in the island.
I have saved the best for last. Our hosts, Karen and Joe, are the most welcoming, thoughtful and kind people. They are founts of knowledge about the island and can help you plan any kind of outing.
I can't wait until we can come back to this condo! I highly recommend!
Mahalo Martha,
We are so happy you had such a good time and hope you choose to come back again.
Joe and Karen
Fantastic location!
We had a wonderful 3 week holiday in this unit from Karen and Joe Grafe. We have stayed in many other units on Maui and their kitchen is the best one yet! They are very accommodating when we needed anything and very friendly. The location was excellent, right across from one of the best beaches and located within 5 minutes to many different shops. Definitely would rent from them again. The sleeping arrangement and 2 bathrooms was the perfect set up for our family. Mahalo Karen & Joe
Thanks so much, Sandy. We are very happy that you all had such a good time. We enjoyed meeting you and look forward to seeing you the next time you are in Maui.
Well kept property in a great location.
Everything was easy - from reservation to check in to the facilities such as the kitchen and laundry in the unit. The condo was comfortable and located in a great spot just across from Kamaole 3 beach. The wall unit AC was sufficient, and the fans also kept it cool. It was a great price, so we would definitely stay here again.
Thanks. We are so glad you had a good time. Hope you will come again.
Aloha,
Joe and Karen
Enjoyed our stay at Haleakala Shores
Our family of 4 spent 10 days in Maui in early August, 2017. We have been to Kihei several times previously, but this was the first time staying at Haleakala Shores.
Renting from Karen and Joe was very easy and their unit was nice. The unit was spacious and our boys enjoyed not having to share a bed. The unit was well stocked with everything we needed and more, including nice little unexpected touches like a Wii and Netflix.
Only issues with the unit was that the kitchen area was a little tight when 2 people were trying to work in there, and the main door was very sticky to open.
The grounds are nice, but not spectacular. There are no "grounds" people on staff to keep the pool area tidy and the BBQ's clean. You would expect people to clean the BBQ after they use, but I guess not.
There was covered parking, which was nice to keep the car cool during the day, but it was pretty tight to park a mid-size car. I was glad we did not rent anything bigger.
We spent a lot of time at the pool area and have a few comments:
1) The pool is 8 feet deep at the deepest spot
2) Lots of rules for the pool area (and the complex in general), even though we saw several people not follow them.
3) The manager's unit is beside the pool and he would occasionally hang out a window and watch people in the pool, which was a little creepy.
4) There is no hot tub, which would have been nice on a few of the cloudier days. As a result a lot of people gathered in the shallow area of the pool, which became crowded occasionally.
5) The pool area is locked, which is understandable. It did get annoying after awhile to constantly be sharing the pool key between 4 people who were coming and going from the area at different times. Other places we have stayed had their pool area locked with keypads, which made it nicer.
Overall we had a good time, but who doesn't in Maui!!!! Positives being the unit we stayed in exceeded our needs. Negatives would be the missing little perks in the pool and BBQ area
Thank you for your nice review. We are so glad you had good time. With regard to the pool and BBQ area concern, every morning between 7:00 am and 9:00 am the pool is cleaned and checked for chemical balance. Additionally, the BBQs and furniture are cleaned and the grounds raked. Unfortunately, windy days can cause more leaves to be on the ground and some people using them do not keep the BBQs as clean as we all would like. We do provide two keys for the pool but would always be glad to provide more on request. Generally our pool rules are what is required by the state and are quite similar to other condo complexes and ,yes, some people do not follow them. Peter is a new Resident Manager and learning how to best carry out his duties. We will suggest some better ways for him to maintain security and safety. Sorry you found the the parking tight. We park a Lincoln Navigator in our slot which can be challenging. We hope to have you visit our unit at Haleakala Shores again. Mahalo, Joe and Karen
Great spot.
We have stayed before and will stay again.
Great Family Vacation Pad
Our 10 days on Maui was our first VRBO experience and it was everything we had hoped for. The condo offered us a well stocked, clean, comfortable place to call home for 10 days. Being able to walk across the street to beaches, snorkelling and wave riding was wonderful. The condo did not lack anything we needed and our family of 5 including 3 teenage girls look forward to our next visit to Hawaii. If we return to Maui on a future visit we would love to stay in this condo again. Mahalo.
Location
Winter offers unique opertunity to see Humpback Whales both from shoreline & on boat trips. Maui is one of the best areas in the world to view Humpback Whales.
