Very nice condo with friendly neighbors and close to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo and appreciated the use of their beach towels, cooler, and comfy beach chairs. The hosts were so thoughtful, providing lots of details about the area and even the use of their Maui Revealed book.

The communication was impeccable. There was a little hiccup when we arrived and the owner took care of it in minutes. We cook during our stays and this place provided everything we needed. That is rare for us. BBQ area very clean and well maintained.

Excellent stay in great location

We had a great experience at Gretchen’s VRBO. The place was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From beach chairs and towels to a cooler and all the cooking essentials, Gretchen truly thought of everything. The location of the Vrbo was perfect - right next to the beach and close to many restaurants. I would highly recommend Gretchen's Vrbo to anyone looking for a cozy and well-equipped accommodation near the beach.

Great vacation

We had a wonderful stay here, clean, fully stocked (honestly the most stocked condo i've ever been to), exactly as pictured, beds were very comfy. Could get in touch with the owners very easily, can't say anything negative about this place except that we had to leave :). Would book again in a heartbeat!

PERFECT!!

I have nothing but positive feedback for Gretchen and her beautiful condo. She was especially flexible with early check-in and late check-out to correspond with our flight times. Her home is very comfortable (2 air conditioners) and well-stocked with everything we needed. It is central to all areas we explored by car, which was the entire island. The grounds are clean and quiet. Beautiful sunsets right across the street and close to all Kihei restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend a stay at this condo and I will definitely stay here on our next trip. Thank you, Gretchen!
