This is literally located across the street from the beach with lots if sandy dunes to sit on and watch the sun go down. Lots of shopping and great restaurants and food trucks nearby. The owner has thought about every detail and supplied everything you could possibly need. The initial email regarding check in was a little overwhelming with the number of “don’t…” but I’m guessing they’ve been burned in the past.

Awesome location, right next to the beach. Very close to shopping centers. Comfortable bed and tons of amenities. Check the cabinets before you go shopping for things like sunblock, bug spray, etc- it’s all there!!! Walk-in shower was awesome/convenient. Really enjoyed this gem of a property!

The condo was exactly as pictured in the photos - comfortable and beautifully decorated and appointed. It was clean and well-stocked with supplies. The owners were easy to deal with and responded very quickly to inquiries. The complex is quiet, with excellent facilities and convenient to shopping, restaurants, and just a short stroll to a lovely walking beach.

Condo was plenty big for myself and my spouse. The proximity to the pool and out door grills was very convenient. The grounds are very well kept and provided plenty opportunity to sit out on the lanai. Mike and Denise are very responsive with any questions and are very accommodating. We very much enjoyed our stay and would for sure stay at this condo again.

Prior to arriving, I felt the owner was exaggerating about how great the location was. However, now that we have stayed there, I totally agree. This area of Kihei is a bit quieter but has all the amenities we needed within a short walk (groceries, drug store, great restaurants and coffee bars). Best of all, it was a half block from a hidden gem of Maui, the Lipoa Street beach. Wow! We could walk endlessly in either direction on quiet, pristine beach. It was lovely!
The condo was fastidiously clean, well stocked with an arrival treat basket, extra towels and great shower supplies. The property is well-managed with a clean good-sized pool and hot tub.
We sat on the lanai and talked about how much we look forward to returning. We would stay here again, only next time for much longer. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us!

Great location to a beautiful beach that was not crowded. Short walk to see the sunset the nights we were there. Appreciated the extra bath products in the shower. Thank you.

We loved this condo. Ax units and many many extra beach gear and household products were available. Only thing we were a little disappointed was the comfort of the bed and the older tvs that we couldn’t use our fire stick on.

We stayed in Denise and Mike's condo in January 2023. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to return. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The location was perfect with beautiful grounds and a short walk to the grocery store and the beach.

The place needs serious update. The bed was soft and the springs hurt us.
There are small bugs and dusty fans, table, lamps. Needs a deep clean. Not sure why they charge cleaning charge if the place is not clean. Overall needs to be updated and clean.

This property was clean and was in close proximity to many attractions and popular beaches. Was nice that they had several items for use for outings (bikes, beach chairs, etc).

This place was so beautiful and cozy. We came here for our wedding/honeymoon and it was the perfect place for us with an amazing beach access and such wonderful hosts! Definitely would come here again

This location was nice, but the pictures seemed better than the location. The overall property was dated and the couch pullout was uncomfortable. Location was great… easy access to everything. Parking convenient. Hosts were attentive and communicated well. Loved the amenities and gift basket. Overall, nice stay with opportunity for slight improvements.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. Perfect location. Close to beach and easy walking to restaurants. Everything was clean and the welcome basket with coffee and snacks was a very nice plus. Especially the coffee when the time change makes us wake up wide awake at 3 a.m. 😊

We had a great experience at this property. They unit was clean and had everything you would need (and more) to cook and be comfortable. The AC worked great and the beach equipment was a bonus to have.

Overall, we had a really great stay here in this condo. Checking in was very easy, the condo was clean apart from dusting in the hard to see areas. We loved the easy ground level access to the pool and BBQ areas and utilized the back patio a lot. We were very grateful for the beach accessories that the condo had, we didn't have to rent anything for the entire stay so that was awesome. Normal wear and tear on them, which we expected so still very grateful to have use of that. The beds in the condo were very, very uncomfortable. This would be the number 1 reason for not coming back to this place. Both the main bedroom and the sleeper sofa need an upgrade. Location was great, we walked to some restaurants and little shops and to the beach quite a bit. Overall, a great stay for the trip we had.

This would be our 7th trip to Maui in the p ast 10 years. This condo was not what we expected. It was dated and average in every way. Except the cabinets. They looked upgraded. The bed was the worst .To the credit of the owner,she said it was going to be replaced. That did nothing for us, a good night sleep was hard to come by! The ac in the living room is super noisy so if you want to watch TV it's a challange.The complex is decent, good pool and bbq areas and it's quiet. The beach chairs were a plus because we spent most of our time at the beach , did not use the snorkel gear. Used the bikes just had to air up the tires at the gas station. The pump was cheap and broken. If you have a problem with anything reach out to the owners. I'm sure they will fix or address it. Then again that's not what I want to have to deal with on a vacation.

This property was awesome! Perfectly located with a 1 minute walk to the beach and it has all of the necessities and then some. Would highly recommend staying here and plan on visiting again. Thanks so much!

We had a great stay at this Kihei condo. Loved the location which was close and walkable to the beach and stores. The condo had everything we needed allowing us to eat well, even healthy using the blender and enjoy a variety of food. Air conditioning and fans made the space very comfortable and the lanai space was really nice too. Slept well in the comfortable bed and overall pretty quiet evenings. Easy parking on the street was just outside our door most days. A great Maui experience which gave us the comforts of home in paradise. We look forward to coming here again on our next trip.

This property was above and beyond in all areas. I use vacation rentals because I like the feel of living in the area and don't want daily maid services or to go down to a cabana and mingle with hotel guests. If you want those things, hit up a resort. This location was great because it met all my criteria: pool, kitchen, two comfortable beds, wifi, a/c and close access to snorkel beaches.
There's a lovely kitchen area which met our simple scrambled-eggs and reheating needs. A/c was exceptional, with a living-room unit and a bedroom unit, although we found we didn't need it nearly as much as I expected. Trade winds that go through the screen front door through the patio door help cool. The pool was nice (chlorine), probably 15 yards with a jacuzzi. Master bed is a Sleepnumber, and the adjustable mattress was amazing. Living room sofa folded out and my friend thought it was fine. There's extra linens available, which I appreciated.
As a special treat, this place is around the corner from a great walking beach, which turned out to be the perfect place to watch sunset. It's walking distance to a number of great places: a highly-rated coffee shop, the local Times grocery store, two mini-malls and a food truck park, all of which had great eats. Excellent snorkeling beaches were ten minutes away (in Hawaii 30 mph time), or if we wanted to go north, it's was easy to head that way too. Honestly, a lot of places will meet location qualifications, but this area gave a lot of great options without extra driving.
Denise's place stands out because it looks upscale and feels comfortable with a quiet a/c. The provided beach-gear was FANTASTIC. We used two beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler to pack a lunch/snacks. There was also quite a variety of snorkel equipment. I was hoping to use the bikes, but didn't. We parked right in front of our entry on the street.
Word of advice for those looking for Maui stays: Maui is different from all the places I've been because so many of the places are vacation condos either owned by companies or income vacation places. Rentals are required to have an 'on-site property manager' but those managers don't seem to want to be concierges as much as troubleshooters for major problems. All condo owners I've worked with have encouraged contact with them directly through phone calls or text. Denise was very accessible and was great about managing an internet outage issue.

The property was beautiful! There were so many trees and flowers, making the area gorgeous. The pool was super close and nice. The room itself was just like the pictures. It was very comfortable, homey, and beautiful!

Dust hanging from ceiling fans and pot rack. Food left in cupboard...open and expiring coconut, nuts, oils and sauces; open mayo and other condiments in refrigerator. Partially consumed water bottle and leftover sunscreen in beach equipment. Snorkel masks loaded with sand and beach chairs stored in closet before cleaning sand and dirt. First glimpse is positive but no regard for food safety or careful "white glove" inspection between rentals. There was no contact with on site property manager to welcome or orient guests.

This is a very clean and quiet condo near the beach. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the pool as we flew in late for work and by the time we ate it was closed and we had to leave super early the next morning. The bed was a wonderful sleep number and the AC was great to keep cool through the night. The only issue I had (which was more of a me issue than a property issue) was getting into the condo with the key box at night when it’s dark. The owners were communicative and their condo is lovely.

Great location in Kihei right next to beach to watch Sunsets. Shopping and dining close by. Grounds kept up nicely we even BBQ'd in the pool area. Spa was great after a day on the beach. Kitchen fully stocked. There could of been more blankets and towels. Overall great experience thank you.

Great condo with a lovely pool and hot tub right by the beach— best beaches for swimming, surfing, etc are further south and require driving. Store and restaurants within walking distance but many you’ll still want to drive to. Wish communication with the owner had been better as well as about the property itself. Simple things like directions about how to use the remotes to the tv would go a long way. Otherwise a great spot to stay.

Hi Denise & Mike,
We loved staying at your condo! The place is very nicely furnished and very clean. We loved the close proximity to the pool and BBQ. The complex is very well maintained with beautiful gardens and the beach is a 3 minute walk away to watch the sunset! Spectacular!! We even had the opportunity to see a large turtle on the beach! Would highly recommend your condo, close to grocery shopping and great restaurants and central to other great locations in Maui.
We will be back!
Thanks

We stayed here for a week in December and loved the place. The place itself is beautifully modern, and looks exactly like the pictures. You are 1 mins walk from the beach, 2 mins walk to a large supermarket and many restaurants, and only a 5 min bike ride down to S. Kihei where there is another big row of bars/restaurants. The place is fully equipped with everything you could ever need - bikes, boogie boards, sunscreen, salt and pepper - you name it, it's probably available. There is a pool and hot tub in the estate too with sun loungers and BBQ area - which we found a great place to meet others also staying at the Estate. Denise was great to deal with from start to finish. We would highly recommend this place, and hope to come back some day! Ps. Make sure you get to Coconuts Cafe which is only a 5 min walk away for Fish Tacos - delicious!!

Denise and Mike's condo was brilliantly laid out. The kitchen was small but yet spacious. The designer cleverly stocked and organized this kitchen with all the supplies one could need or want for cooking. There was plenty of storage and it didn't feel cluttered. The beach was across the street in front of another group of apts, this complex was near everything! Best condo rental for the cost. Had a great little yard for lounging! I was very impressed to say the least. Much better than a hotel!

Mike and Denise's condo was gorgeous, fully stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and for the beach, and right next to a fairly secluded and beautiful beach. The pool was perfect for lounging in every afternoon and the location in relation to shops, dining and grocery stores was excellent. We enjoyed every second of our stay and were sad to leave. It felt like home!

We loved the location, along with the amenities. Denise is super easy to work with as this was our first trip booked via VRBO.
Super clean condo, everything was there and as advertised. Pool and Hot-tub are great, and being a "slow" season we pretty much had the pool to ourselves whenever we wanted to use it. The condo grounds are very clean and well kept.
Overall we felt very comfortable here and happy to come back to a quieter area when we were done with our days.
Thanks again!

Thanks to Denise and Mike for making this condo available for all Maui jet setters!
It has everything that you could possibly need, including easy access to all amenities near by. We loved that we could walk everywhere, the beach is literally around the corner! We used the pool and BBQ area often. Everything was clean and well maintained. Communication with Denise was so easy and she is great to get back to you in a reasonable time frame. The kitchen is fully stocked and the snorkel gear, etc were an added bonus. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to have a fabulous vacation! Thanks again Denise & Mike!
