The place was great. Beach-adjacent and we had four turtle sightings during our stay at the closest beach. It is pretty centrally located and we loved the communal pool and hot tub as well as the communal grills.

The beach supplies was a nice touch. But the only thing I had an issue was the rooster and the unforseen maintenance that was done right above us during our stay. Overall a beautiful view.

Organized management with good communication, very clean and well maintained property with all necessary basics. Comfortable bed. Nice open view from living area/balcony. Could use some overhead lighting in living area. Overall excellent property
We stayed here before our Maui wedding. This was a great location that had lots of other rentals in the same complex, so three families could stay close. Such a great view. Mahalo
We had been in a resort the first half of our stay and wanted to stay somewhere different for the last half as we explored Hawaii. This fit all our needs was easy to access, clean and a short walk to the beach
Great location, nice grounds, great beach access. The suppose team is always available through text and helps with needs quickly.
The unit seems recently remodeled and was very clean with nice updates.
Great things for the beach, including coolers and chairs. We left some sand toys and floaties for the kids.
Would recommend this location and unit!

Thank you so much for these kind words about my team, and your experience! You were a delight to host and I am so glad that you felt so taken care of. Warm aloha.
The property is clean and comfortable. You do have a view of the ocean from this unit, but it is along a fairly busy road. Walking to the water from your room will only take you a couple of minutes, and from there you only hear the ocean. The property managers did a great job keeping in touch, to see if there was anything I needed, or any questions I had
Accurate description, great location, great communication fom PM
Everything was truly great! PM communication
Only issue was shared venalation and the pot smoking neighbors. Not a huge deal for some but ifif the kids were along it would have been.
and response was amazing!. Only issue w

Incredible stay
My boyfriend and I traveled to Maui for a wedding and were happy with the condo rental. Although we arrived late and had some difficulty finding our room, helpful people staying in the condos guided us to the elevators. The condo was clean and had excellent amenities like air conditioning, a comfortable bed, and a full kitchen. The Vrbo provided enough essentials like towels, toilet paper, and soap. We received a check-in call after 24 hours so they could hear about our experience. The area was fantastic, with both ocean and mountain views. We had a memorable and comfortable stay and highly recommend the place, appreciating its affordability.

Great place in a central location
My gf and I stayed here for 5 days around Thanksgiving 2016. We really liked the place and it was exactly as pictured. Everything was spotless and organized. The host company was helpful and sent us an email with all the events that were happening in Maui during our stay. They also gave us good recommendations for restaurants, Luau, snorkeling, etc.
The location is very central especially if you plan to spend more time in the southern part of the Island. I would highly recommend eating at Coconut Fish Cafe (it's close by) and "Fork & Salad". BTW .. we used Maui Wave Riders for our surf lessons and would also highly recommend them.
Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

Aloha, It was fantastic reading your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that the condo met your needs and that you enjoyed its central location! It certainly sounds like you had an exciting time while here on Maui during the holiday season and discovered a few of our favorite eating spots! It's great to know you found our recommendations to be helpful - we love being able to help assist in any way that we can and make your stay a memorable one. Please look us up if we could assist you with future trips to beautiful Maui, it would be our pleasure welcoming you back! Warmest Aloha, Paige
This property is managed very well and the description was accurate. The condo had everything we needed including beach chairs and beach towels. The sofa bed was not the most comfortable bed I have slept in but I could sleep on it. The bathroom was a little challenging as it is in the bedroom but fortunately my friend is a good sleeper and did not wake up.
The local property management company was very proactive. They contacted us twice during our stay to make sure our visit was going well.
Great views of the sunset over the ocean and excellent early morning beach walking. If you walk north on the beach you will find the turtles (honus) near the whale foundation.
I would definitely recommend staying at this condo in Kihei. It was clean, there was plenty of room, the lanai was nice and there was an even better view than what pictures show. The area is pretty central to other parts of the island, and there are plenty of spots close by to shop and eat. My only complaint was that the bed was a little too soft for my personal preference, but that wouldn't stop me from staying here again.
Apartment was clean, well decorated and central to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Checkin was simple and communication with property management was great, even when needed after hours.
I loved beach combing and watching sunset from the beach and sunrise over Haleakala from my balcony. The condo had everything we needed for our day trips! The cooler and beach chairs came in very handy!! Would stay there again and will refer friends if asked!
We've been staying at this property for 15 years, and love it's location and amenities. The hottub, pool, and BBQ grills make for lovely evenings, and we always choose a condo that provides beach chairs, umbrella, and a cooler for a day at the beach!! PLEASE consider installing all new washers & dryers. Only 2 out of 8 washers were working, and only 4 of 8 dryers!!
My husband and I stayed here and enjoyed our stay. It is an older building but the kitchen appliances have been updated. There is a good view from the patio. Short walk to a rocky beach but short drive to other beaches in the area. Close to restaurants and shopping. Provided beach towels, coolers, boogie boards, and some chairs for the beach which was a huge plus. There is a full size fridge but no ice maker in the freezer. There is one ice tray provided but would be helpful if there were more ice trays. The bed is quit soft, feel like the property would feel more luxurious with some updated bedding like crisp white sheets and a nicer down comforter or duvet. We used a blanket from the closest and found a crusted stain on it. This is why I would recommend updated, fresh linens/bedding for this property.
Beachfront apartment on the northern edge of Kihei. By car everything like grocery shopping conveniently reachable. Beautiful view from the balcony to the close-by beach.

Very responsive property management and owners, and very welcoming. Nicely furnished and tile floors were nice. Carpet in the bedroom was freshly washed too. Enjoyed morning and afternoon sunshine on the patio. Kitchen cupboards should be replaced but they were clean and well stocked with appliances, dishes and coffee filters. We had no problems with anything.
