Very good experience. Hosts were most communicative via phone and email rather than the VRBO App. We were three couples sharing this place for a week. the bathrooms have definitely been updated compared to the photos listed here. air flow was great considering there's no AC. Very comfortable space and pool was amazing!

This place had everything my family needed, beach chairs, cooler, buggy boards, beach towels, an AC will make this place perfect, luckily it wasn’t too hot and morning are nice. Will definitely rent it again

Positives: the pool, three bathrooms and three sleeping areas, the location knowing the beach was not near, useable beach chairs/cooler/Boogie boards/beach towels, the lanai, updated bathroom with plenty of towels
Negatives: not enough silverware- we bought more to have enough for each meal; worn sheets and bedding; kitchen needs updating; hard to get place cooled down; many electric plugs not functioning; difficult to unlock front door- would take multiple attempts with correct code before door would open

This 3-bedroom home was a perfect getaway for our family of one grandma, two young couples and one small child. The home was well-stocked with most everything a traveler might need, including lots of extra towels, bedding, blankets, kitchen utensils, even lawn chairs and sand toys for kids.
The kitchen was well supplied and everything worked. Living room, dining room, and patio accommodated our family of six very well. Very cozy sweet place!
The one downside to this place is that it needs some handyman attention. The power outlet in the upstairs bathroom was dead, and the bedroom dresser was literally in pieces. The downstairs bedrooms were somewhat better but still rundown. Other than that, we had a perfect visit. We would stay here again.

We had 3 couples for 8 days staying in the rental. Everything was as described in the listing and overall I would recommend this place for anyone! The location is perfect for traveling into Kihei or other areas of the island and being less than 20 min from the airport was nice. The rental does not have A/C but this is accurate to the listing. The property had numerous fans and the breeze at night helped so was not bad.

This was the perfect home-base for our family during our trip to Maui. The property had plenty of room for our family of 6 and everyone was comfortable. Very glad to have the kitchen and dining areas which we made use of most days.
Our kids loved the pool which was a really nice bonus. The location is perfect for exploring Maui. Very happy with our time at the property and would happily stay here again next time.

The location was perfect! A block from the beach. Not too far from the grocery store. Very centrally located. The amenities were amazing too! The pool was awesome! The hot tub was by far the best. There was a day where all we wanted to do was hang out onsite and cooking on the grill and playing foosball and ping pong while our food cooked was amazing! The house was super clean! The pictures had me wondering a bit since it looks dated but once we got there.. kitchen is a bit dated, living rooms and both indoor and outdoor dining areas were spacious! All three bathrooms were on point! Would definitely recommend and rent again!

Our stay overall was great. Outside door was controlled by a keypad, which was great since we had 5 adults coming and going. Make sure to read the signs about registering your car for parking. Info is in two places (on the wall and in the book) but was outdated and suggested there was a paper form to complete. The form is entirely online. Only complaint - which is really an oversight on my part - is that there is no AC. The listing does not claim any, so listing is accurate. I saw “newly renovated” and assumed, especially because I had looked at other units in the same complex that DID have AC. There’s so much wind that nights were fine, but it was a little hot the few times we were there late morning/early afternoon - temps were hot and the winds had not picked up yet to get the breeze moving through the condo. This was also middle of summer, so as hot as it gets. Location is great. We did not walk to many places, but its a short drive to access all the major highways. The little town of Kihei is just down the road and has some shops and restaurants and a really nice public beach. Parking at the beach was always readily available. We did not use the amenities, but the pool and tennis courts looked great. There are quiet hours, which seemed to be observed by all the residents and guests, so easy to get some sleep.

This place had a lot of minor maintenance thing’s broken. Property manager aware. Needs an update. But then it will loose that old Kihei charm. Perfect for family stay. The pool was excellent for the kids and the unit was close to the pool. The grounds were to die for with ample shade and forty year old plumeria trees you hardly find in Kihei any more. Across the street from the beach for sunset. Lay out of condo was perfect. Kids got the upstairs. Over all we all would request to stay here again next Kihei Vacation. In addition. The property manager was really good when I pointed out pre existing damage. It was minor and we didn’t need it repaired just didn’t want to foot any expense.

We stayed the end of April, so it was warm but not excessively warm. The VRBO was clean and comfy. Loved the quaintness and charm of the place even though it’s a bit dated. Spacious and relaxing. It was warm at night after being locked up all day and not having a/c. Took a few hours to cool off. Great pool and veranda! It was a great value for Maui and would definitely stay again.

First of all, the management company was very pleasant, and clearly pays attention to reviews- I noticed all comments about the kitchenware and supplies that were lacking in previous reviews were noted and addressed. We were very well stocked. The Koa property is lovely, and across the road from a nice beach to watch the sunset or rise, and just fine for a quick splash. The on site pool and barbeque were great for evenings at home.
It looked like it was going to be more walkable than it was, but everything was very close by car. We were all perfectly happy. It is a bit dated, which you can tell by the photos and the whole place could use some more lighting, and the carpet replaced in lieu of full renovation, but all in all it was actually better than I expected for the price point and I was very satisfied.

Read plenty of the previous reviews and thought it would be okay. Other than the location it doesn’t live up to much of anything. It needs a total remodel. Mold in the showers, broken tiles, shag carpet from the 70’s in the bedrooms that is matted and has dirt embedded in it. Couldn’t close one of the bedroom doors as the door handle wouldn’t open it. Dresser drawers are all broken and fall out when opened or won’t close without a lot of extra work. The upper loft the sheet rock on the sealing has water stains and is sagging of the ceiling. Water stains in the Sheet rock in the hallway. The front screen door is broken and the front door is warped and peeling. Whoever the owner is, should maybe take some of the money they are making and reinvest. Has plenty of potential just needs help. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone to many other places for the same money.

This was a great place for our three couples. It was clean and had everything we needed.There was plenty of space, and we enjoyed the kitchen and access to the pool and lovely grounds. We also really loved that each couple had a bathroom!The location is just fine - we drove to the beaches near Wailea anyway. Some of the things in the rental were a bit dated, but it was a great value for what we paid, and overall we were very satisfied. The management was really helpful.We were not able to access our lanai due to circumstances that were beyond the control of management and yet they compensated us very fairly for this!

Overall this property met our expectations based on the listing. It was not "upgraded," but you can see that from the photos. The surface cleanliness was fine, but we did find that the bedrooms were harboring enough dust (presumably the carpet and/or sleeping surfaces) that it bothered us. So if you are sensitive dust and dust mites, I think it's fair to be forewarned. The fans provided did a pretty good job of circulating air and no air conditioning did not bother us, but we do not frequently use AC in our own home either and are OK with it being warm.
It felt like the kitchen needed a good inventory done. There were a TON of pots and pans, but not a single bowl that could be used to mix up a bag of salad (so we used a big pot!) About two dozen knifes, but all dull. Stuff like that. Not a big deal, but just seemed to be lacking some attention to detail.
We loved koa resort. The grounds were beautiful, the pool was amazing, and it was a perfect environment for a family. This unit was soooo spacious (compared to other units we have rented on Maui), and we loved that.
We ended up driving to other beaches because the north Kihei beaches are not nearly as nice as those further south, but we would seriously consider staying at Koa again as we loved the resort itself.
Overall great stay and the price point was what we needed.

We rented this nice, modest 3 bedroom condo for our Maui trip. Condo was close to grocery stores and main arterial traffic routes. The condo itself was clean but a little bit dated, but if you're in town to see the sights and not stay in the room the whole time, it's perfect for that. Amenities included swimming pool, shuffleboard and other conveniences.

The home was very large with lots of room for a family. The main room floor was not very clean , needed to wear our slippers all day . There is no air condition. There was enough towels , but no hair dryer. There was only one TV , in the family room. The realty company was not flexible with check-in and check-out times, Even though the house rules manual had different times listed. The property pool was nice.

Our group of 6 adults enjoyed our stay! We were not here much aside from dinner, sleeping, and breakfast, so the lack of AC wasn't a huge issue other than at night - the back bedrooms don't get a lot of airflow, but the fans provided helped a lot. The main area stayed nice and cool with the fans on and slider open.
The unit is a bit dated, but everything functions and the necessities are all there (utensils, cookware, appliances, etc). LOVED having a washer and dryer! The unit is clean and comfortable, and in a great location for moving around the island. The complex is lovely and well-maintained. Keyless entry was very handy.
The pool is FANTASTIC. We jumped in most nights to cool down at the end of the day and found the whole pool area to be lovely.
Great for an adults' trip - I imagine it would be good for families with kids who are easy to please. Thanks for a great stay!

Great property for those who want to chill, but your on your own if you have any issues. We had to fix the coffee maker ( broken upon arrival ), fix the bed ( which involved moving a cal king mattress ), move a very heavy sliding glass mirror door which came off it's tracks, and fix the t.v and program it. You will get no help from Bello Reality. I called them because so many things were broken and non operational but the binder from the reality company in the unit says since everything is in good working order, is expected to be left that way. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to get dinged for any of ibrojen stuff. Very little is in good working order. Bello Reality said they'd send someone out to fix the issues, but they never did The screen door on the upstairs lanai didn't have a screen and was off it's tracks. None of the screen doors lock, so if you want a cross breeze or any airflow you'll have no security. None of the dresser drawers work, the faucets spray water all over, the shower in the master bedroom has missing tiles and the dial for the water is so old it is illegible. The hot water takes forever to come through in there too. This condo is very original, straight from the 70's. Clearly NOT upgraded! The appliances are OLD, and most everything needs little tweaks to get working (blinds off kilter, windows not opening, all the sliding doors off their tracks ). As long as your ok with that, then it's great place for the independent traveler. We loved the pool, the quiet grounds, the kitchen, the firm mattresses, comfortable sheets, plentiful towels, easy parking, large dining tables, private lanai, and 3 bathrooms. Overall, it's a decent place for the amount of space your going to get. But if you want a newer, upgraded condo, that is managed by people who actually care about their facilities, then look elsewhere.

For the price this was a nice property for a family. Everyone could spread out, the lanai felt more private than other places we’ve stayed and units spread out for a nice quiet space. As others noted some updating would be nice but that’s really more cosmetic than functional. Pool area, bbq area all good and communication with property company timely, friendly and helpful.

Beautiful setting, immaculate grounds, and very close to a great swimming pool. The lanai was perfect with lush trees that protected from strong afternoon winds. It was also nice to not have any apartments above or below us like the high-rises on the beach. It was hot with no air conditioning, but there were numerous fans that made it tolerable. Bello Realty required a $30 non-refundable payment to insure against damages, but much of the furniture, woodwork and countertops were damaged and, as noted in previous review, some drawers were not useable. What really made us feel less than welcomed was a lack of supplies - shampoo, hand soap in kitchen, limited dish detergent and only one roll of paper towels. There were also only 4 teaspoons, 6 forks and a mishmash of pots and pans with numerous lids that had no pots and pots that had no lids. Additional attention to inventory and small expenditures on normally supplied essentials would improve this rental.

This property has some positives. The location was perfect for getting all around the island. The pool was very nice and the grounds were kept up nicely. The unit has beach chairs, towels and beach toys that you can use and enjoy. Also - we cooked in and the kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes and utensils. All the appliances worked great. As far as updating, the only updates were the flooring that you see in the picture from the doorway to living room to dining to kitchen and down the hallway. The washer and dryer also was very nice to have. The problems in the unit - never got the TV or cable to work - so could not use to see the news or relax and watch a movie. The outlets did not work in the bathrooms - so when trying to get ready for a wedding - you could not blow dry your hair or curl it in the bathroom - of course where the mirror is.. All of the furniture has issues - master - broken headboard so the one side tilts. Broken drawers in all the dressers so you can not use several drawers. The showers were missing tiles and need some serious bleaching of the caulk or replace it. Just a very "tired" look. The water pressure is good but the screen need to be cleaned out so that you don't get sprayed when you turn it on.. Countertops look very worn and the formica is missing in spots. This property does not have AC - which we knew - but got very warm without. Definitely has potential but needs some real updating of all the bathrooms - and make sure that all the outlets work. That is pretty basic. We stayed for 9 days and were provided with 1 roll of paper towels and some dish washer pods - but definitely not enough for the whole stay. Ran out of TP too - so plan on a trip to store to supply that too. We would not stay here again. Thanks.

We loved our stay and will go back. Everything was clean and organized. Our only concerns were that when we arrived, there was a very full load of wet towels in the washer and we ended up having to dry them in several small loads. We also had our dishwasher back-upand wasn't draining which caused us to have to wash our dishes by hand for the last3 days of our stay. We called multiple times for it to be serviced but nobody ever came. All in all it was fine and we managed just fine!

The property was great, with the exception of some windows that wouldn't close correctly or tightly so therefore critters were able to get in. My husband got bit by a 5 inch venomous centipede the first night there, I called the next day to let the property managers know what happened and left a message but never got a call back. We spent Father's day in the clinic there because it ended up getting infected.

We were here for a 7-night stay with family. The first night my kids found 4 lizards in their bed room. They end up didn’t want to sleep in that room. Killed two 4 inches centipedes, 3 big spiders that my daughters screamed about, and got PTSD all night things will crawl on her- ugh! In the upstairs room my dad found 7 lizards, 5 cockroach and some ants in his room. End up we need to kills them ourselves. This place so dirty, there is also ants in 2 bathrooms. There are tiles missing in the bottom bathroom in one of the rooms and the fan loud, don't work. Some of the mattresses definitely need to be replaced. The king size bed make a terrible noise every time you move, sit or lay on it. We had requested the twins be made into kings and that wasn't done prior to our arrival.
It's definitely in need of repair and updating in all the bathroom. The main bathroom sliding shower door broken. Contacted Bello on Tuesday night and the handyman got back to me on Thursday leaving the not saying they will fix it Friday. End up 7 days still not fix. The sink faucet and shower head. You need to be super careful. Test out the water first. My dad and kid almost burn themselves. Its really hard to adjust water. Sink faucet splash water everywhere.
It's missing window coverings in the dining area, and the remaining window coverings are in need of cleaning or replacement because they are dirty/stained. Some of the dishes in the cabinet were dirty when we arrived. I didn’t want to use the dishes because ants are all over the counter. They only leave you half roll of paper towel make sure you buy more.
There is a room upstairs that is locked off, but could be another bedroom. If it was open, it would have allowed for some good airflow.
Also, we want to see if they can put ant’s killer and cockroaches. We called the property manager about 4pm on a Wednesday and didn't hear back until Friday. He asked if we had called the emergency number. I did call both numbers, but got voicemail on both and only left one message. We didn't consider it a real emergency. Finally, Monday they called back but I am leaving Tuesday and let us know that they have no part for the bathroom shower hinge. They want us to take picture for them so they will send someone to kill ants and cockroaches. TERRIBLE!
This unit really needs remodeling especially the bathrooms. The worse part of our vacation experience was the first day we found so many Lizards, scare the kids. Never rent here again.
