First, thank you so much, Becca, for reaching out to us during the Maui fires. It was a little scary, but we were fine.
Excellently located in Kihei, close to the beach (walking distance) and short walk to nice restaurants, the condo was very clean and we felt safe and secure.
The condo was well-equiped with dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, rice cooker, tupperware, beach towels and well stocked with « welcoming » toilet paper rolls, soap and shampoo, cooking spices, etc. We did not have to worry much for our 1st week- whatever we needed for cooking, toiletries or going to the beach was well organized and easy to find.
The fridge and freezer has a water and ice dispenser, which is also great to have. We would fill the water bottles with ice and water before our hikes, and it helped keep us cooled and hydrated throughout the day. (On that note, Hawaiian drinking water is wonderful… much better than any bottle of water you can buy).
We are a family of four- all adult sized- and this one-bedroom one bath was still comfortable. We easily made the murphy bed every night, and put it up every morning.
We were worried at first about the bed firmness due to previous back injury and the fact that the master bedroom bed is quite plush (at least for our standard). However, I am not sure if it is due to the amazing time that we spent in Maui, but we slept well and did not suffer anything from the lack of firmness.
