Enjoyed 5 days in the apartment with our kids. They liked the pool. Central location, all parts of Maui easily to reach. Great view to the sea.

The property has all you need for your vacation. Ice cold central air, and the owner was very cooperative with my request. Convenient parking, and great ocean view with stunning sunset. Great place for a family of 4. I will definitely be back. Thanks Jim.

Our experience with the host who managed the place was rude and lied. He stated that he emailed us the door combination several time but no emails was never received. Complained that we woke him up when we call him for the door combination.
Place need to fix the patio door. It was off track and hard to open. Screen door was broken. Patio rail was loose on the bottom and wasn’t bolted. Very hazard.
Water was leaking underneath the toilet and bathroom floor was all wet. Cleaning person knew about this water leaking but we were never informed.
Top of the frig was dirty and nasty. Not enough storage containers.
Pool was closed for construction which the host never informed us.
In our experience this place could have been better if these issues would have been fixed before we arrived and the host’s attitude could been more polite. Too bad this page can’t attached pictures to show because I took pictures of the things that needed to be fixed. Hope these issues would be fixed before the next visitors check in to this place.

We decided on Kihei because we were visiting with friends who lived there. The location of the condo was perfect. It was right down the road from Maui Gardens food trucks, Da Kitchen and Izakaya Genbe - I would suggest trying all. The condo was very clean and spacious. We didn’t even need to turn on the air at all- due to the breeze and patio! We live in Florida, so that is amazing for March. We drank our coffee and tea out there. We took daily 3 mile walks right out the back and down the beach. Our tour guide picked up us right in front for the Halakelah sunrise tour. We loved it! I would highly recommend staying here. We even saw whales right from the beach in back! Great location, clean and great communication with Jim.

Property was clean and had a beautiful view. My only recommendation would be to improve beach chairs. We enjoyed our stay very much and would book with this property again.

The property was exactly as described on VRBO. Its proximity to the ocean was wonderful, a short walk over nice grass to the ocean. The location of the property is within a few miles of grocery shopping and restaurants. We found some very good ones and some not so very good ones. Condo was fully stocked with pots and pans. There was a laundry facility right outside the unit, and as long as you are familiar with phone apps, it works perfectly.
The main thing we missed in check in was that you absolutely cannot check in before 3 PM. Our plane arrives early around 10 and we were not able to gain access until three. Other than that, things went just as planned.

Nice, easy place to stay. Thoughtful amenities were provided like beach chairs, cooler, and clothes basket for laundry. Great that you can walk directly across a green space to the beach.
Relaxing, spacious lanai with a view of West Maui and the bay. I enjoyed sitting there in mornings listening to the many birds around.
Would have loved to be able to walk to the nearby shopping center and food trucks rather than drive. If you’re also hoping for that, just note the main road has no sidewalk or useful shoulder the whole way so it was an unpleasant walk. But that’s pretty typical of Maui, so not a big negative.

We enjoyed a relaxing time at Village by the Sea. The one bedroom was a perfect size for the two of us.
The location, overlooking the grassy park, with the ocean beyond was very peaceful. The unit has a nice lanai to enjoy the view.
We were able to find everything we needed in the small kitchen, for meal preparation.
All the furnishings were comfortable, including the king bed and the sofa. An ottoman would be good for the livingroom.
The bathroom has a nice shower, and we were especially happy with the large plush bath towels supplied. If a remodel is coming up, I believe a higher toilet would be a welcome item.
As we enjoy reading, in the early evening, brighter lighting would be beneficial in the livingroom and bedroom lamps.
The items mentioned above do not take away from what is a great vacation rental.

We stayed in a well maintained, quiet, condo complex in Kihei. The unit was as advertised with great views. The owner has equipped the unit with everything you would need for a great stay.
Hope to return in the future,

Overall we really enjoyed our stay! The condo had almost everything we needed, the location was pretty good and it was very quiet. My only complaints, and I say this very loosely because it really did not hinder our stay but would’ve been nice, one of the three beach chairs and umbrella was broken and the beach directly outside the condo was pretty rocky. Again, nothing that really made a hue difference but could be nice added bonuses! Of course there’s not changing the beach ;)
Outside of that it’s very quiet, the pool is clean and normally not very busy. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the balcony every morning as well! Very easy check in process, plenty of parking and close enough to town/sandy beaches but far enough away we felt relaxed. Would likely stay again!

December 2023
The view was amazing and the size perfect for us. Pool area is very nice also with hot tub and a kiddie pool. Kitchen was adequately stocked. Looked like beach would be small but we walked two miles one way before we decided to turn around. A bit rocky at first but amazing beach beyond. Convenient, less crowded area but minutes to town by car.

My wife and I stayed here from Oct 9-Oct 16 as part of our honeymoon. The unit is exactly as described and had everything we needed — it was clean, well maintained, well equipped and comfortably furnished. Check in and check out process was a breeze.
The lanai was perfect for morning coffees and the unit is a short walk to the shore to watch the stunning Maui sunsets and turtles swimming about.
The condo is close driving distance to excellent food options, beaches and activities. It made an excellent central base for day trips to other parts of the island as well.
Our host Jim was fantastic from booking all the way through to check out. He was quick to respond, thoughtful and accommodating.
We would recommend staying here and would have absolutely no hesitation staying here again in the future.
Thank you Jim and we hope to be back in the future.
October 2023
I booked this condo due to its proximity to Kalepolepo beach and of course the view from the balcony just as pictured on VRBO. The owner was always checking on us prior to our departure to make sure we have all the information we need. Need about 5-10mins drive to food places, but that's no problem for us. They also provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels that we can use. Parking currently is anywhere that's open, no placard needed. We'll be back for sure.

We loved our stay at this property in Kihei. The pool, grill space and beach were absolutely perfect. The sunset never got old! The condo itself is a bit older with standard accommodations, but the value made it possible for us to come to the beautiful island. The host was very, very quick to respond whenever I had a question, both before and during our trip. Lots of fun shops and restaurants and grocery stores just a short drive away.

Honestly I’m really upset. We were extremely excited about this stay. Unfortunately flights were canceled do to weather conditions. As soon as I was made aware I emailed the property manager. In an attempt to give as much notice as possible. I am upset about the money lost. However, I am more upset by the way it was handled. As far as communication with the property manager. I received “This is really not my problem”. I understand there wasn’t time to re-rent, even though all flights were canceled. Rescheduling was also made unavailable.

Overall we enjoyed our stay here.
- The Kihei location is good
- Parking was easy
- Entry was smooth
- Place is spacios for two
- Well stocked kitchen (could use more glassware, wine glasses)
- Nicely close to elevator
- Laundry is close
- Nice view like you see in pics
Problems/Recommended Improvements
- The bedroom curtain was/is broken (may be fixed when owner visits in September). Appeared to be dried blood on curtain. There was also dried blood on the bedspread so suspect someone cut their finger?
- The place and property is very dated, could use updating and TLC! Fromt desk service was weird.
- AC is original and worked fine at times and marginally at others.
- The accordian divider between bedroom and living room is difficult to lock closed/operate and does not block out noise. Highly recommend replacing it with double doors. This would be a cheap but important update.
- There was no Roku TV or Netflix so when done exploring island and being active and you want to relax, your are stuck with local TV. This is another cheap improvement, maybe $16 a month, maybe more but this makes a lot of money.
- We got locked out the last day but it was easy to comtact the owner and he resolved the issue quickly.
- They provide soap in the bathroom but no shampoo and our toilet paper ran out the last day and could not be fixed by owner. Fortunately I was able to bum some TP from another cleaner group in the area and avoided a trip to the store.
I hope this feednack helps.

This place worked great for our first stay in Maui. Enjoyed staying in Kihei at a central location in proximity to both ends of the island. Having a comfortable bed with air conditioning and a ceiling fan was important to us, and this fit the bill. We enjoyed coffee on the patio and could see the ocean from our balcony. The condo had an old Hawaiian feel, which was really nice as well.

This condo in Kihei is the perfect location to explore lovely Maui. It was quiet and relaxing, with spectacular views; great for morning coffee on the lanai and sunset watching on the beach, truly a delight for the senses. We enjoyed our time here and made great memories. Mahalo!

We loved every moment of our time here. It’s a great convenient location to all of the restaurants in Kihei and convenient to the airport and shopping for anything you may need. The view is to die for and we loved sitting on the lanai and feeling the nice breeze. The pool and hot tub being open late are a wonderful bonus. Condo was clean, cool, and had an umbrella for use at the beach. Laundry was cheap and super convenient. We would love to come back and visit again!
Elena S.
May 2023
The view is so beautiful and just a short walk to the beach. We walked the beach every morning after we had our coffee on the lani. The grounds were maintained as well as the pool, so everything was well manicured. We did have to get som additional TP, only a spare roll was in the condo, and on beach char was already broken. Other than that it was a great stay and will definitely stay here again.

we were there for 3 days to explor the island and this place was perfect for what we needed. Great view for your morning coffe, stores and everything close while at the same time you don't feel the movement that much. We liked this place a lot, def will be back.

We stayed in this unit for a week in April and found it to be exactly as described. The view from the balcony is amazing and there is a very short walk to a beautiful, quiet beach right across the lawn. The pool and hot tub were great to have so close by and we were impressed with the meticulous upkeep of the entire grounds. Parking was easy, right out front. The condo itself was very clean and well-equipped. The location was excellent, allowing for very short drives to many different beaches, restaurants and sights. We would highly recommend the Maui Ocean Centre for all ages - truly an outstanding and memorable visit! We had a truly amazing stay in Maui and would definitely recommend this condo as a great place to stay!

Overall impression was very good. View was wonderful especially for sunsets! Location is great, cleanliness was very good. Improved cookware would have been a plus as the ones provided were not the greatest. We like to cook a lot, so we appreciate good cookware but realize it is an issue as many guests may damage them. Blender top was nowhere to be found, only the motor? so we bough† a new blender and left it as we use one almost daily for smoothies. A small supply of aluminum foil, plastic wrap and a few ziplocks would be great. The grounds were lovely. At the time of our visit only 2 of the BBQ's were working and we would have loved to have cooked and eaten outside more as it was so lovely in the garden area but only 2 BBQ's working and 3 Tables to eat at limited our time cooking and eating outside, many times all 3 tables were occupied :-(
Our overall impression was very good and we enjoyed our visit very much, thank you!!!

Condo was just as advertised. As an older person I like to sit in a recliner but few VRBO condos have one. Several houses we’ve stayed in have recliners, and I think every condo should also. But in total, an excellent place to stay in Kehei.

The unit was roomy and well equipped. Great view of West Maui Mountains and the shoreline of West Maui, with string-o-pearls nighttime lights. Easy access by car to all the restaurants on the Kihei road. Must be good walls because unit was very quiet. Kitchen had everything you need to prepare meals. Host was very attentive to requests. The building and grounds seemed to be very well maintained. A very comfortable stay here!

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in Maui in Sept 2022. The centralized location made it super easy to go on snorkel trips, beaches and helipad.

Excellent location and the view was much better than what we were expecting from the listing photos.
Kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals.
AC worked great.
Shower had great water pressure and temperature.
Bed was comfortable, but we are used to firmer pillows at home.
TVs had a lot of channels to choose from.
Balcony was large and comfortable.
Laundry was right outside the door which was convenient (bring quarters and laundry detergent).
Pool and jacuzzi were well maintained and had good water temperatures.
Overall we had a great time and would be happy to stay here again.

Clean, spacious unit with a stunning view. Not really much more we could ask for! The little beach right out from the building is nice (it's Maui after all), but pretty rocky and narrow. Pool and hot tub is great and we were not bothered by noise or anything despite the unit being right above it. The building location is very centrally located on a main road, but not much within walking distance. Great communication leading up to the reservation. We had one plumbing issue and the on-site representative was extremely quick and responsive and it took no time at all to fix. Overall would highly recommend for your stay!

The view was as promised- unobstructed across green lawn to the ocean. Very convenient to local groceries and beaches. The complex is older but extremely well maintained gardens with smaller pool, hot tub and 5 gas grills. Met all of our needs as a retired vacationing couple who prefer to eat in, quiet in evening relaxing on lanai watching sunset.

The condo was spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. When we went on the lanai we couldn’t believe the view was even better than pictured. After snorkeling, shopping and site seeing we spent many perfect nights on lanai relaxing. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing you gorgeous home Jim. Aloha

Interior furnishings were a little "dated" and tired, and we happened upon internal property refurbishment/construction while there. HOWEVER, the location, the view, the remoteness from the "touristy" areas of Lahaina and Kaanapali was fantastic. We lived at the beaches of which there were plenty all along the south shore (and not crowded) and were able to make the trip into Lahaina and leave and take the drives around the island as we chose or zip up to Haleakala. The pool/spa was excellent and the beach at the property was good too. We were close to excellent local restaurants AND resort property restaurants for those special nights out. Kihei is right in the middle of Maui and this condo was a good rendevous spot! Beach chairs and boogie boards for the adventurous. Thanks much to the deDiegos.

After spending 4 days in the busy Waikiki area this was the perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle. Everything we needed and then some. Great central location to access all the sites. The pool and bbq area are gorgeous and well maintained and the bed was super comfy, not to mention the view! Definitely wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future.

What a great little condo! A bit far from town for walking but it's a nice, quiet property. The views from the lanai are breathtaking and I will miss waking up to all the birds. The beach is just a few minutes walk, which was so nice to take advantage of.
The condo is nicely equipped with everything you need including beach gear and a cooler. Tastefully decorated and the perfect size for a couple. We would absolutely stay here again. Mahalo for sharing your place with us.

The beach was quiet and very beautiful and not to mention excellent accessibility. We enjoyed having the extras we needed for the beach like chairs and beach towels etc.. The kitchen was well stocked and the grills were very nice. The pool area was beautiful and quiet as well. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Maui condo with us.

This condo was a great home base for our trip to Maui! It's a great central location and the views were amazing. The bed was comfortable and there's lots of beach supplies to use. My only wish was a little bistro table on the lanai to eat breakfast at, but there are comfy chairs to sip your coffee on and watch the beautiful sunsets! Hope to make it back soon!

My husband and I stayed here for 10 days and we couldn’t have been happier with the condo and amenities. Perfect location- we drove all over the island and I was easy to get everywhere from this location. We loved the pool, hot tub and having the beach right there. It was awesome to have the beach chairs, towels and boogie boards too! We will definitely be back!

Got an email.from property owner week prior with all the information needed. Keyless entry was great, and apartment condo was perfect. A little dated, but I did not care, the view and facility was first rate.
The room had a cooler, beach chairs, and beach towels for our use. Awesome! We used them every day. Kihei is a much better side of the island for activities, snorkeling, and beaches than Kaanapali, in my opinion. We were very centrally located, close to everything. I recommend you have a rental car, UBER is available, but there are not many drivers on the island, so you have to wait to get a ride.
Very happy with our choice of VRBO, we had friends who spent 2 or 3 times what we spent on the room. And we had full kitchen, king bed, and ocean views and beach access.

I loved every minute of my stay here! The view is even better in person than the photo. The beach is a quick walk away. Tons of places to eat or shop near by. And Jim is a great host! If you have any questions he is prompt at replying and finding solutions. Can’t wait to come back to paradise!

We spent four nights in July here and loved it! The condo was perfect for the 2 of us, bed and sheets soft and comfortable, condo buildings quiet. There is a park like setting between the building and the beach which is nice for families with kids. Lots of birds, and you can watch the Maui sunset from the lanai! Very convenient to stores, shopping, and only 5 miles from Wailea-Makena area where there is amazing snorkeling. We loved the condo, and Jim was amazing to recommend places to eat and snorkel! Would definitely stay here again.

The apt was great for our 6 days trip in Maui. The actual apt is more impressive than the displayed pictures. We enjoy the apt very much and would look forward to staying here again. The only confusion we had was that we arrived at late evening and weren’t sure which building was the right one for our apt as there are two buildings in the premise.

The owner was very accommodating to our late check out.
They are doing a major renovation to the exterior of the Building so during the week it was noisy.
The actual condo could use new furniture in the living room and dishwasher.

Stayed there with my family for 8 days during our recent trip to Maui. A very clean and affordable place, and very close to public beaches. Our family spent a lot of time hiking and sightseeing on Maui, and, looking back at how much we've been able to see, I realize now we couldn't have found a better home base for those activites. The owner (Jim) was very accommodating and genuinely interested in making our stay as enjoyable as possible. We'd love to stay there again if/when we visit Maui in the future.

We are a party of four (two adults, two teenagers) who travel quite a lot. We have stayed in all kinds of accomodations, best and worse ! This condo is one of the nicest places we have ever rented. Great location (central to all our planned activities), and extremely well maintained. Great view on the pool and the sea, you can enjoy the sunset every evening. A lot of space for our family, nice kitchen, clean bathroom, good natural lighting, no carpets (just ceramic titles, which make the place so much cleaner). A few extra provided : a cooler (which we found very useful), beach chairs, etc. Thank you for such a wonderful time in Maui !

My husband and I stayed a week here after spending 3 weeks in other places in Hawaii. The condo is very comfortable ( bed especially and A/C worked great) and pictures are accurate. Parking space is good, kitchen easy to use, bathroom perfect, location OK. Now to the 2 things that cause me to rate this a 3 instead of a 5. One is fixable and one is not.
First the wind-it blows about 30mph almost every afternoon and this condo takes the brunt of it. One night we were grilling and the grill would not stay lit. Maybe June is a windy month but I did not get that impression talking to others. If the building was angled slightly different it would block the wind but it isn't. We literally had to put paper towels in the patio door to stop the windows from rattling 2 evenings. The pool area is the center of this wind tunnel so we spent no time there. Fortunately, it dies down at night so it is pleasant to have coffee on he lanai in the morning. We left each day to explore so I have no idea what time the big winds start.
The second item may be trivial but it was frustrating and I saw a reference in another review. We have stayed at 4 other condos on this trip and this is the first where there are no condiments. No salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, coffee, foil, plastic wrap-not one thing. I fortunately saw this before I came so I brought spices but now having stayed all these other places I just question why these things can't be left when someone leaves. I asked the front desk and they said it is all up to he owners so I hope Jim changes his view going forward. To throw out an entire bottle of olive oil, mustard, coffee etc just seems a waste. Two other trivial points on amenities. The condo was very clean when we arrived and we only found 2 towels in the bathroom. It was sparse( no guidebooks, no spices) and we looked all over for beach towels and coffee filters and could not find them. Off to the store for a second time to buy filters and a towel. The next morning I found the coffee filter behind the toaster in a cabinet and the 3rd day we found extra towels under the bed!! For future guests please leave a note because who thinks to look under a bed?
We enjoyed Maui - it was our favorite island and we loved the view and our dinners in the condo. The location worked for exploring all the island and if the wind ever died I would come back.

This condo exceeded all of our expectations. We arrived in the dark and the next morning pulled the curtains back to be greeted with the most spectacular view! The photos are an exact replica of what you'll see from the lanai but yet they still don't do it justice. The kitchen is well stocked with everything one might need along with beach chairs, boogie boards and big beach towels. The king size bed is very comfortable and the air condition made coming home after a long day in the sun - great! The location is prime as it's close enough to everything to be able to walk yet far enough (and I use far loosely) that you're not bombarded with people everytime you step outside. The beach is beautiful to walk and relax on - although the water is a little murky and the sand a little rocky - water shoes helped fix that and was well worth it as it was much less crowded than most of the other beaches. The pool is fabulous and the outdoor BBQs worked great. I also really liked the fact that there is assigned parking so you never had to worry if you'll find a spot after a long day of being out. This was my second time back to Kihei and I would choose this condo over and over again. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone. Thank you Jim - this was a vacation we will never forget!

We enjoyed our short stay at this condo. Wonderful view and great location. Very nice condo. All we needed in kitchen was provided. Plus, close to restaurants and shopping. Great to have a cooler and two beach chairs available to enjoy some time st the beach. To have a parking spot included is certainly a bonus. I definitely would consider using this condo again.

We've stayed at several condos at Village By The Sea and this condo is by far the very best! Everything is ideal. The bed is comfy (which is very important) and the shower remodel is brilliant. Hate to step over and into a tub.
Of course the ocean view is amazing and the property is always in tip top shape.
We love the Kiehi location as it is central to the entire island. We would never stay in Lahanai or above as the traffic can be a nightmare.
So if you want the best deal at the perfect location, stay at this condo!
We definitively will be back!!😚😁

We were very pleased with our stay in the condominium. It was a perfect location as our home base for vacation activities and island travels. The view was spectacular - especially for sunsets and whale watching from the lanai! We enjoyed the property amenities and landscaping and opportunities to meet and talk with other guests at the pool and grounds. The condo decor was lovely and the layout was comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!

What an excellent view from the lanai. It is exactly as Jim portrays in his photos, not leaning out over the railing to get the pic. Basically you have the same magnificent view from anywhere in the condo. The BBQs are right below the lanai so very easy access for cooking. There is a security guard patrolling the complex all night so it is very safe. It is located a couple of blocks from numerous restaurants. Did I mention the view was awesome? This property fronts right onto the ocean with a nice beach........not the best beach in Maui but very quiet ans secluded. If a nicer, more active beach is what you desire then 10 mins on S Kihei Rd will get you there. The pool is nice with a direct view from the lanai. I suggest a rental car but not a necessity if you just want to relax around the grounds, and you must take in a Luau. All in all this condo was excellent! We will definitely try to reserve this condo on our next trip to Maui.

Beautiful condo, clean space, and incredible views with large balcony! The photos on vrbo don't do it justice...it is much larger than it appears in the photos. We stayed 4 nights. I've stayed on other parts of the island multiple times in the past, but this location is definitely the best as it's close to everything that a city has to offer and the wild side of natural beauty, on the dry sunnier side of the island. Close to restaurants, grocery and drug stores, and short drive (minutes vs hours on the Big Island) to hiking trails and secluded beaches, and great snorkeling spots.
We will definitely stay here again for our next trip as I haven't found a better location on Maui than this one!
