We have loved every second staying in this property. Although it is slightly on the older side of things, it has everything you need and the location is absolutely stellar. We were able to open the door in the morning and our toddler could run without us having to worry a second. It is quiet and because we visited in March, we didn't need air condition. We would absolutely visit again, this has been one of the best vacations we had in a long time!

I was coming to Maui for the first time in order to say goodbye to my high school friend, who passed away. Staying at this location was the best because I was able to have the ocean at my doorstep helped me greatly to appreciate why he lived and loved this place.

Everything was as described only thing was a last minute notification a day before we arrived that the a/c was out.They provided a portable unit for the one bedroom and fans for the main living area which was not sufficient. Would not recommend staying in this unit until air conditioning is verified fixed. Once a/c is fixed it would a nice place to stay. Older unit could use updated but then again I’m not living there. So the big question was it worth the money? In short,NO with the a/c out in the main living area definitely not worth it. Not even a breath of compensation but that’s ok word of mouth is better. Would not recommend! until a/c fixed.

We stayed 3 nights and liked the location of the condo. It lacked a/c at the time, so it was a bit muggy. The trade winds kept it cool at night for sleeping. The a/c unit for temp use was in a bedroom and it would have served the unit better in the living room. Mold was along the door to the main bedroom shower, so that was a bit yucky. Too small of shampoo and conditioner bottles provided. Glad I had brought my own. New cabinet liners are needed as the current ones are quite tattered in the main bath. We used the dishes and some spices provided and appreciated that. As well as the beach chairs and towels.
The room location and pool area are great The pool is well maintained. The info booklet was very helpful and additional towels were provided when requested. Overall, a nice stay.

This property was great for our family. Just steps from the pool and a very short walk to the beach. We could watch the sunset from our patio. It made for a great holiday.

We had a late flight out so asked if we can checkout at 5 pm instead of the 11 am standard time. They were able to accommodate our same day request with no extra charge!!
One complaint is wishing they had better dryers. We unfortunately had to dry our clothes twice and air dry and the reason for losing one star.
Overall, the stay was amazing! Thank you!

I am a vacation rental owner as well so I am overly conscious of things that make a vacation rental great. This is the second time we have booked this condo for our family (husband, myself and two young boys).
PROS: 1)Excellent location north end of Kihei 2)Building is older but that makes for a large, corner unit 3) Love that it is on the beach side of the road, with the expansive lawn. Awesome for kids! 4)Also love it is right at the pool 5)Quiet 6)Two bathrooms 7)New kitchen appliances.
CONS:
1)BEDS. As a Host I value comfortable beds a top priority, and it is often mentioned in our own reviews. The beds in this condo are old and springy. The view in the morning would be that much better if our backs weren't achy and we had a lovely, restful sleep
2) To my shock and dismay when we went to put the boys to bed after a long day of travel it was very obvious the beds had been made BUT SHEETS NOT CHANGED from the previous guests. What makes this more alarming was that this exact same thing HAPPENED TO US LAST TIME IN THIS CONDO. I appreciated the Management Team's quick response to this but WOW, gross. Two stays and both the same problem. During Covid no less.
3) The kitchen needs a re-up. There are mismatched water glasses for 40 people but only enough cutlery for a single meal. Must hand wash all utensils to have enough for the next time you need a spoon. Pots and pans are dated and mismatched as well. No large frying pan! I bought small, plastic cups as there were none for the kids and left them for the condo.
4) Couch is pretty dingy. I put a sheet over it and I'm not sure if it was to protect the boys from it, or it from the boys.
5) For four people only two face cloths were there and I had to ask management to drop off cleaning spray as there was none.
All in all as we have stayed here before we knew what we were booking. The space and location between the beach and pool is so great for families. It would take only minimal effort and a couple of purchases to bring the comfort of this condo up greatly.

First thing to say is that they tried and did fix some of our issues. We have been to Hawaii several times and we have stayed in this complex before so we knew the complex. We did call on all of the issue we had and they did respond right away. Unfortunately this unit needs a deep cleaning. Shower curtain in the bathroom had mold., they replaced right away. The wires for the main tv needs to be clean up for safety reasons, would not want a child around it. One of the chairs in the photo was missing, they did offer to bring another one. made seating for 4 adults less comfortable. In the bedroom with the sliding door had a dresser with 6 drawers, only 1 was empty. Two night stands drawers empty. The armoire for hanging clothes had 4 large pillows in it so no where to put the pillows or hang up clothes. Locks on both sliding doors need work. Would be nice to have cable in both bedrooms. Cable remote a little complex for us senior citizens. Had to ask for directions, very nice guy to come and help. Feel like we are being picky but instead of being “ just ok” it could be “ TERRIFIC”
