This property was great for our weekend gateway! We had a great time and it was perfect location to everything we wanted to do. Definitely recommend and will be staying again next time we come.
There was a lot to do within walking distance and the area felt safe. The walls were a little bit dirty but overall it was pretty clean.

Kitchen was well stocked, we ate all of our meals in and used the grills by the pool. Great for our family of 4. Kids are 9 and 11 and slept in the fold out couch. Great location!

Property is located beachfront with other beaches nearby. Also near groceries and restaurants.
The condo itself needs some updating. The blinds on the patio doors keep falling every tine you move them to open the sliding door. The a/c was very noisy with something rattling every time it turns on and off. The mattress needs to be replaced. There's a foam mattress topping and you just sink in- very uncomfortable. The sofa cushions are also very uncomfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed the view of the ocean and the mountain from the patio.

I did a review at the rental, look at that.
Everything met our expectations, we would have preffered being closer to services. Distance was not an issue, sidewalks at this end of town would make walking instead of driving an option.
Everything as advertised. Unit is well stocked with needed utensils/ appliances. Nice large screen TV for watching sporting events . Greats shower water pressure with instant hot water. Surrounding Kihei area was flooded prior to our arrival due to storm/rain and condo parking lots were muddy/dusty for a few days until power washed by management. Hot tub/pool was a fun gathering spot for owners and guests. Vertical slat blinds in condo bedroom need some attention. Check-in instructions easy and thorough.Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

We really enjoyed the unit we stayed in. It was always easy to cool. and we expected the distant ocean view, so that was fine. Very comfortable accomodations. The unit was comfortable and had everything we expected. On site management was friendly and helpful. The unit was ver clean when we arrived. Good value. Location: only negative is street noise.
Great location - walk to beach but not an ocean view. Fully equipped - everything was included. Vertical blinds in living room are aging and need to be replaced. Four of the slats ended on the floor due to wind.
We have enjoyed our stay and communication with the management was great. The condo is nice, spacious and clean, located just a short drive from stores. It's a bit on the outskirts of town, so I'm glad we had a rental car. Both, the bedroom bed and pull out couch are squeaky and could use an upgrade. The beach wasn't very impressive at that area but again, with a rental we were able to explore nearby Wailea and Lahaina. Plenty of beach accessories in the condo.

The property and condo unit were ok. The living room furniture definitely needs to be cleaned. Instructions for the tv would have been helpful. The beach is very rocky. It’s not one you would want to take a walk on or even sit at. That was disappointing. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.

This condo is very outdated and not in a great area. It is not walkable to any Kihei stores, restaurants, etc. but does have a decent pool and nice beach within walking distance. The condo itself was clean but could use a fresh coat of paint and a deep clean, as it really showed its age. Dealing with the rental agency was very easy, and they sent a lot of info beforehand with things to do, etc.
