This was an okay, non-luxury, affordable option for staying right on the beach. The physical space is not as nice as the pictures portray. Carpets are stained, grout is dirty, and couch is ripped in several spots. The microwave is mounted so high above the stove that I (5’5”) could put things in and take them out, but couldn’t see those things. I guess you could look into the microwave if you stood on a chair or something. The building and location felt totally safe, but it seems like this is definitely a rental for rental’s sake, rather than a condo that anyone cares about. Which is fine for the price; you are getting what you pay for here. If you like places to be sparking clean, this is not the place for you. On the plus side, we had no problems accessing the unit, and it was very quiet (at least for our stay, which was crowded on the island overall). We never heard any traffic noise like you would farther south in Kihei and only a few times heard our direct neighbors coming and going. I’m not sure how common it is in Hawaii for units to put their window AC units on a 6-hour timer, but be aware you’ll have to get up in the night to reset the timers if you sleep with AC. It was great to have a king bed and we never had trouble finding parking. The beach is great for walking but was not (at least for our stay) a beach where people swam. That was nice for privacy, but if you’re looking for swimming out your door, it’s probably not this place. We had not stayed in Kihei before but really preferred it to the more touristy and crowded Kaanapali area. So we enjoyed our stay but I think next time for the same budget I’d look for something not on the beach that was a bit better maintained.
