Absolutely perfect stay. Fantastic location and all the amenities you might need (and then some)! Owners are incredibly responsive and helpful. Some great places to eat within walking distance and beaches literally across the street. It's in a little quieter part of Kihei, which we appreciated. If we ever manage to return to Maui, I would 100% stay in this condo again!

Overall really nice place. Not as updated as other units we've stayed in at Haleakala Shores, but it had lots of kitchen stuff if you plan to cook at the condo/down at the BBQs.
My family and I had a great time and found communication with the owner easy.

Haleakala shores is in the best beach location in kehei. This apartment is very nicely finished and setup well for 4 adults with the wall partition and 2 baths. Very happy with all and would stay here again.

The pictures really dont do this place justice and the communication with the owner was incredible.
The location is perfect as you are within a one minute walk of a beach/Park with plenty space to layout, reef to snorkel, and plenty of green turtles. Then, within a 5 minute walk, there must be 30 stores, 8 eateries/bars, and 5 beaches. If you drive a little further, inteitherhdirectioneare even more shops with a great selection of restaurants (a local) and live music. For Golfers, several courses are within 10 minutes and there plenty of spots for scuba and snorkeling.
The road to Hana is also a wonderful day trip to take from this location.
Everything was in working order and the place was set-up as if we were family coming for a visit and not guests. Everything you need for beach time was also provided by the hosts.
The grounds were safe and inviting. There is a locked community pool with BBQ grill and ample seating that was used on occassion for family fun.
The sunsets across the street at the beach are absolutely incredible! We found ourselves making time each day to enjoy that view!
The host, Karen, was on premises and went out of her way to make us feel welcome from the moment our initial booking was made through our exit.
If you are looking for a great location in Maui that is in the center of everythingwith great views, I would encourage you to look no further.

We forgot a LOT of stuff. This unit has anything you think you might have left at home by mistake. The kitchen and both bathrooms is fully loaded, with anything you can imagine. All the information you need to get around the property is all laid out for you. And all the instructions Karen gives are super detailed. The unit itself is super comfortable.
I would definitely stay here again!

The property was as described and location was perfect! We walked across the street to see the sunset each night. Location is walking distance to shops. My kids loved the pool. We had a great time and look forward to going back! Mahalo

Joe and Karen’s unit comes with all of the comforts of home. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils, and cooking appliances. Having two bathrooms is also a plus and the master bath comes with separate sinks. The only minor issue during our stay was the noise from work crews doing a reroofing project and not always having access to our assigned parking stall during the day. But most times we were out exploring and hiking so it was fine. Karen is a very responsive host and communicated well with us. We so appreciated her bringing us a delicious raspberry cake! Mahalo Karen and Joe!

This is an amazing place to stay for a family visiting Maui! The location is central, the beach is right across the street. It’s walking distance to lots of stores and food! The place can comfortably fit 6 people! Karen is amazing and will have everything setup for you with instructions and keys laid out. She also emails you in advance with lots of suggestions on what to do in the area! She also has all the beach stuff ready in the closet for you to take so you don’t have to rent anything! I would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed in this complex before (but not this unit) and we really enjoy the location. Quick walk to beach, shops and restaurants. We had issues with the living room AC not working which was disappointing however in speaking with Karen they are looking to get that replaced. The 2nd bedroom had an uncomfortable bed which caused sleeping issues. The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated the “extra” appliances like the air fryer and crockpot! Karen and the management staff were VERY responsive on the minor issues we had while there. Would definitely stay again with a couple minor updates.

The property location was great, across the street from some of the nicest beaches on the island. We cooked our meals at the unit, fully stocked for any cooking needs. Would highly recommend it!

We truly enjoyed out 18 night stay in Karen and Joe’s unit, they have absolutely everything you can think of in this unit…rice maker, crock pot, air fryer, toaster oven, blender, panini maker seriously EVERYTHING!
Also beach towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie board…
They had a few spices too which was nice!
The fridge was nice and big with an ice maker, beds were comfortable, the unit had lots of room…
Think comfort over luxury when you consider the unit…the complex is small but very friendly! Very well located in Kihei within walking distance of all the amenities.
We would definitely stay here again!

Great accommodations for our group of five! The central location is perfect for exploring all of Maui. Walking distance to the beach and lots of food options. The furnishings are a bit dated but kept tidy and there are a lot of amenities available. Would recommend!

The property and the location was everything we hoped for. This is our second time staying at this property and again the vacation was nothing short of spectacular. We walked across the road to the beach every morning and every evening to capture the sunrise and sunset and walked along the beaches and swam at the beaches, snorkelled at the beaches every day within walking distance. The location provided a base for short trips for snorkelling in the reserve, relaxing on Makena Beach, shopping in Lahaina, jumping off the rocks in Kaanapali and surfing on the north shore.
We will definitely look at staying at this location on our next trip to Maui. Mahalo Joe and Karen.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a well stocked apartment, with almost everything we could need apart from groceries (and even then, there were lots of condiments and spices - we left some butter for the next guest). Safeway and the Times Market were a short drive away.
The beach gear was a real blessing - four beach chairs, two boogie boards (our teens enjoyed immensely), lots of beach towels, umbrellas, and plenty of snorkel chairs. There was lots of sunscreen, too. The bathrooms had everything, but with five of us, we almost ran out of TP and we did run out of paper towels.
We enjoyed having meals on the lanai where you can catch a distant glimpse of the sea. My husband grilled steaks down at the pool area and I enjoyed a refreshing swim there. Our teenage son connected his Switch to the TV so he could play games. We also watched shows on the living room TV as well the master bedroom TV.
The only slight drawback was that It was a bit hotter and noisier than we expected. We kept it closed up during the day (all the fans were great), but one window in the bedroom with the trifold sliding wall had no way of closing so that seemed to work against the A/C in the adjacent living room.
At night, we opened the doors and windows to cool it off, which meant hearing the street sounds and roosters crowing. Before bed, we pulled down all the blinds to keep out the light. It ended up working well to close up the master bedroom and turn on the A/C for a bit, so that cut out the noise in there.
The location is conveniently located across the street from a great beach for sunsets, swimming, boogie boarding, strolling the coast, and picnicking on the green (it's a family park with playground). There was also a local arts & crafts fair across the street on Wednesday where I bought a handmade purse. Restaurants and shops are close by. Happy hour at Three's Bar and Grill was a culinary bargain!
The rental owners were communicative and courteous. Karen greeted us when we arrived and replied to a text I sent later. The complimentary cake was an added blessing.

It was a wonderful stay for my family and we would love to come back next time!
We were all amazed by the amount of stuff Karen and Joe provided with their property. All kinds of small appliances in the kitchen, fresh towels in the bathrooms, spacious living spaces, outdoor pool with BBQs. It was obvious that Karen and Joe know what guests need and care about the experiences the guests want.
The location is 2 minute walk away from beaches. They also had beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gears, bodyboards, and many more for the guests to enjoy their time on the beach.
We appreciate Karen and Joe letting us stay at their place during our trip.

The condo was great it was very warm when we walked in and I would just maybe suggest fixing or replacing the portable ac unit. We did not get to use most of the amenities since we didn’t read the very informational book that is left for the guests until the last day but that is ok maybe next time we will. Was very peaceful and relaxing while we were there. Was worth every Penny and then some. I would take this place over a hotel any day.

Joe and Karen’s place in Kihei was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Close to a beautiful beach for the kiddo and shopping. We really didn’t need to go far for a perfect day. Of beach and pool. The condo had everything we needed. Generous space, well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Thanks for a great trip.

This condo is right across the street from Kamaole beach park 3. Great snorkeling in the mornings, we swam with several sea turtles. The condo is well stocked with everything we needed, lots of beach toys, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, beach towels, and snorkel gear.

My parents and I enjoyed 6 nights in this condo. Having 2 bathrooms was a major plus for getting ready along with plenty of closet space for luggage storage and hanging clothes. The condo is exactly as pictured, located on the second floor (ground/parking, first, second & third for a total of 4 levels) but only one door away from the elevator and stairs which we found convenient. We never had to wait on the elevator for more than 10 seconds. The living room is huge and the wifi worked great. The condo is directly across the street from Kam III white sand beach and it was easy to walk across for sunset since we were out and about most days elsewhere on the island. Kihei has lots of restaurants, bars, and some fast food options nearby but going up the street instead of the main drag takes you to the highway to avoid the traffic at peak times. The condo has an outdoor shower with foot shower in between the sidewalk and the units and I would recommend using it otherwise you'll clog up the showers with sand and they won't drain properly. The kitchen is a little tight if you plan to have multiple people in there cooking a full meal (though it's equipped to do so) but for a vacation where you plan to heat up things in the microwave or make coffee, it's perfect. The patio is large but we couldn't quite figure out how to lock the patio doors. The washing machine is small but serviceable. There is no central air (very common in Hawaii) but there are several fans and room ac units that keep you comfortably cool. And most importantly our hosts provided us with lots of information before our arrival, including detailed driving and parking instructions which came in handy. They were also responsive during our stay and included a binder of information upon arrival with all kinds of helpful tips and directions. Overall, highly recommend it if you're looking for a well-priced 2b/2ba condo across the street from a public beach in Kihei.

The place was so nice! Right across from Kam lll beach. The beach was perfect for snorkeling and boogie boarding. Surprisingly spacious for a 2 bedroom condo due to extra changing rooms with each bathroom. Very well stocked will all the needed supplies for the beach. Cooler, beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and a football were all included and in good shape. Karen was great at communicating and made us feel very welcome. The door knob broke when we were there so we couldn't get in our condo. The condo manager called a locksmith and got it fixed right away. As a thank you for our patience, Karen gave us a gift card for a local restaurant. It was all handled very well. If I return to Maui, I would definitely stay here again. The price was also reasonable. We had a family of 5, and the table was big enough for all of use either inside or on the lanai. The living room had plenty of room for us all to sit and watch TV or relax. I can't say enough good things about the place.

Highly recommend this VRBO and will be staying here again in the future!

We loved the very short walk to beautiful beaches (Kam II and Kam III), the generous size of the unit including the lanai, and the fact that this unit was thoroughly and generously equipped with everything you’d need. Some of the items that we really enjoyed were the beach gear and large, fluffy, absorbent beach towels. The lanai is large enough for a full dining table so we ate all our meals outside in the beautiful weather. Our hosts were responsive to all communication and provided us an early check-in which suited our travel schedule quite well. If you aren’t familiar with this area, I can’t overstate how easy the beach access is. My daughter and I enjoyed going for quick morning snorkel outings while the ocean was at its calmest. She was thrilled by the fish and sea turtles! A great stay in Maui.

The place was great. Perfect location, reasonably priced, and well stocked with anything you could need. You can tell that the owners are experienced with rentals and had everything covered. We even met one of the owners, she was super friendly! From before our trip and throughout the stay, the owners were available and made sure we had everything we needed. The complementary raspberry cake was also a nice touch too :-) We had a minor incident with one of the toilets (the seat cracked), but the owners were professional and friendly about it. We would totally stay here again, thank you!

We stayed for a week and this condo has everything you need, located just across the street from Kamaole III beach and owners are available for questions. We had our morning coffee on the beach, spent the day snorkeling, sunbathing and swimming, and watch the sunset at Kamaole II & III all of which we walked to. I would definitely rebook this property.

This place while in a very prime location has a ant problem within the unit I did advise the owner of the problem and was told a cleaner would come but then was told the cleaner was busy so some poison was left at the door ..I message the owner again because the problem was worse after using the poison left by the owner and when I told the owner this he/she stated it was from my party leaving out food which didn’t make sense because the ants was in the cabinet on food left from the previous renter ..which makes me think the cleaner didn’t properly clean they were in the bathroom kitchen and living room ..I tried to find another rental everything was booked I called vrbo for a Partial refund and I was told I had to contact the owner and I was t messages back after that ….FYI I also seen roaches in the elevator

Great accommodations for me, my husband and our two grown sons. This 2BR, 2 bath condo was perfect, since the 2nd BR had 2 beds, they each had their own bed. The owners had a guide book as to places to see, activities, nearby restaurant recommendations all within walking distance. Super clean! We’re referring our family and friends to Karen and Joe’s place!

Great location with beach directly across the street. View of the sunsets were breathtaking! Condo was great and we so much appreciated the beach chairs! Condo also had umbrellas, hats, beach bags and beach towels. Loved having coffee on the Lanai each morning and our strolls along Kihei Avenue. If you choose to cook, kitchen is very well stocked with cookware, cutlery, microwave, toaster oven even a coffee grinder. We chose not to cook but found some great Mexican and Italian food along Kihei Ave. Condo owners were great and so very responsive to our many questions. One thing to be aware is you will need to rent a car or be prepared to spend a couple of hundred dollars on Uber. With the price of rentals, Uber was the btr option for us. All in all, we had a wonderful vacay and hated to leave.

My family and I (2 children ages 9 and 11) thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks at this condo. Everything is exactly as described. There was plenty of space for us and the condo is extremely well stocked with all the necessities and more to make your stay enjoyable. Loved being across the street from a great beach (my boys would boogie board there every day using the provided boards) and you're a short walk from restaurants and shopping.

This two bedroom two bath condo was perfect for us for our family vacation to Maui. It’s location right across the street from the beach and very near restaurants and shopping made it a very good choice for us. The unit itself was well stocked with everything we needed to make it our home away from home. The property owner was very kind, gracious, and accommodating. We want to come back next year!

This place was perfect for the price. The owners met us day one and had a lot of information about the island. We went when it was very humid for the first couple days so unfortunately it was fairly warm in the unit and didnt cool down much at night. The condo is right across the street from the beach which is awesome and we didn't even use the pool. They also have a closet of beach stuff, however it seems like people just throw their left over items in there. There was some stuff broken and random shoes but it is a bonus to have items there and not needing to rent or buy chairs, umbrella and boogie boards.
The view is gorgeous and would be awesome to have more of the ocean but again this is priced perfect. You also have some mountain view too.
The parking spot is pretty narrow and I would highly recommend a van with the doors that slide open, not much room to open the doors if their are cars parked on both sides. You could let everyone out before you park as well. No big deal.
Overall we loved this place as far as the location and room I would consider it about a 3 star place, however I give this place 4 stars overall due to it being easy to deal with and the owners are great. We will definitely be back to Maui again. I think the next will be a more resort area but I would highly recommend booking this condo.
Thanks!

The property was quite comfortable. The owner/manager was very warm and hospitable. The extras items -beach chairs, beach Umbrellas, cooler, boogie board, was very appreciated. The beach right across from the property was clean, safe and fun and connected to a park where you could picnic. Everything we needed was provided in the property. The only disappointing thing was the air conditioner. I run hot and it was HOT in Maui. While the listing says it is air conditioned, you should know that there is one A/C in the master bedroom and a portable room A/C that is in the living room. It works ok IF you close you Close off the room and use it just in the living room area and then close off the sleeping area and move the portable unit to the sleeping area. But in all honesty it is a little bit of a challenge. And the property is hot. The second bathroom was almost always hot. But I would recommend the property as most people are aware of and prepared for Maui heat.

This place was amazing, lots of thought and care has gone into this place. The owners are kind and have really made this place feel like home. All and all this entire place is very clean, the people are friendly, the pool and bbq area are great, and best of all the beach located just across the street offers an amazing experience, sea turtles.... any time of the day... you can see them from the shore, you can swim with them (no touching), and there's great little reefs to snorkel. I highly recommend this place!!!

This unit has everything you could ever need on vacation and sleeps four very comfortably. The owners were fantastic to deal with and were so helpful and welcoming. The unit is very spacious and has a great patio as well. It is less than a block to the beach and the pool is great!
I would recommend this unit for sure!

This was simply the best place our family could have stayed! Two adults and four full grown kids fit nicely in this well kept condo. Comfortable beds were had for all. The layout of the condo lent itself nicely to gathering in the main room. This place is equipped with all manner of necessities and perks, like boogie boards and coolers. The location was perfect leaving us spoiled for beach choice. The building is concrete and thus very quiet. Two well stocked bathrooms on either side of condo met our needs well. The pool was very remarkable small but pristine little gem often very uncrowded. This was actually our first stay in Kihei and we were pleased not feel like a nameless guest. We were happy to have a visit from our host. Made us feel quite secure knowing all contingencies could be dealt with quickly. Thanks for making us welcome
