Kihei Alii Kai

"We arrived on a late flight and found the condo very easily. Upon opening the door we felt welcomed like staying at a favorite relative's special vacation retreat. This is no ordinary condo. It is lovingly renovated to feel like a tropical home. Beautiful decore, high quality furnishings with attention to the smallest detail. Living area opens out onto a lanai where you can spend hours just lounging, or eating a meal while watching the ocean. It is just off the roadway but there is no noise whatsoever. The kitchen is adjacent to the living room and has every convenience you could want or need, very well stocked. The bedroom was spacious with ample storage for your clothing. The bathroom is small but again the decore makes it seem much larger. Joanne and Keith have provided everything you need for the beach or touring around the island (coolers, beach chairs, oversized beach towels, boogie boards and more). We enjoyed the beach chairs so much we bought some for our own use when we arrived home. Free parking is provided at their huge lot. Because the building is constructed on a slight rise it provides for a wonderfulartial view of the ocean. There is great air conditioning and fans but the trade winds kept us cool most days. It is a very quiet and safe condo complex. Keith and Joanne provided so many great ideas for places to visit and eat and as a result we saw things that we never would have otherwise, e.g. the turtles coming in from the ocean for the night at Ho'okipa Beach park (not to be missed). Being central in Kihei with a quick access to the highway was perfect for getting around to the other areas of Maui. We did have a vehicle for our 2 week stay however there is limited bus service at the end of the street. We found the ABC Store had a terrific deli for the times we just didn't want to cook or eat out. Some excellent restaurants near by. However if you are used to Moose's the food quality and service is not up to its previous standards but Happy Hour is still a great value. Fred's has a great fun atmosphere and is busy for breakfast and dinner each night. 808 Bistro has a delicious small menu with early bird pricing. Lots of shopping nearby. We cannot wait for our next trip to Maui and hope to be able to again book this fabulous tropical home in paradise!"
