This 1st floor condo in Ekahi Village was located truly just a short walk to the pain pool/beach easily accessible from the steps of the lanai off the kitchen. The grounds within the secluded village had landscaping that was well manicured with bright foliage and clean public facilities. The main pavilion was the perfect place to have a meal and drink our favorite beverage while watching the sunset. It had plenty of tables and seating, a full kitchen, ice maker and 3 grills for visitor use. The main pool was very clean and a good size for adults and children alike. Access to the beach was also in close proximity from the pavilion and pool. Walking the shores on the beach in the morning gave you nice views of the beautiful oceanfront homes as well as adjacent resorts. But the sunset walks are breathtaking! (NOTE: The waters are not very calm on this side of Maui due to high winds. They are calm before 10:30am though. We were there at the end of July to early Aug. so not sure if the season had anything to do with that. Lahaina and Kanaapali had calmer waters.) Ekahi Village is located within what I would consider an upscale "suburb" of Maui and had some really delicious places to eat in Kihea and Wailea.
The unit itself was a little tight for our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teenagers and a tweener) but we knew that ahead of time and we made it work. Definitely ideal for 2-4 people. The kitchen had EVERYTHING you need to prepare meals from the appliances, server ware, drink ware, spices, condiments, and even containers for leftovers.
There was an ample supply of shampoo, conditioner, soap, toilet paper and kitchen cleaning supplies. They provided 4 laundry pods but plan on using 1-2 for the towels they require you to wash prior to your departure.
One of the biggest things we really appreciated was that they had ALL the necessary items you would need to play at the beach or pool (chairs, umbrella, wagon, cooler, snorkels (although we actually brought our own), towels, sand toys, boogie boards, etc).
Lastly, John and Mike were very easy to reach and promptly responded whenever I had questions. I would definitely recommend this place and have friends already wanting to go there.
