Dean was a very kind and very attentive host. The property was exactly as described and perfectly adequate for our family of 5 with all kids grown up. Dean had included every item that we could possibly need, making our arrival nice and easy after a long flight. Location is fantastic - perfect to enjoy all that Kihei has to offer, yet very quiet at night. The property is located in a touristy area, but not one that is completely secluded from local life, making the location truly enjoyable with surf, beach and cafés all within easy walking distance. Kihei is also a great base for exploring both sides of the island, and it has a 'vibe' that we preferred to the resorts areas. Would go again in a heartbeat. Thanks Dean!

The condo is super nice - a kitchen, living area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a balcony with view of the ocean and Haleakea. Location is superb as well - nice beach on the other side of the street, yet a very quiet place to relax. Everything was nice, clean and convenient. Communication with the host was excellent too - any questions were answered almost immediately. I highly recommend this place for a family of 4 people.

We enjoyed the property. It was clean and manager responded to our questions promptly. Good location, close to many activities, stores and restaurants. Across the street a there is nice beach that is close enough to walk to. Snorkeling near by is good.

This is a lovely condo - very clean and comfortable. Pacific Shores is a great location, close to shops and restaurants. The reason for the 1 star rating was because of our host’s lack of transparency and honesty.
On the evening of our arrival we headed to the pool, looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub. The pool area was locked up. Later, we sent a short note to our host thanking him for the lovely welcome basket, and asking about the pool. He replied it should open soon.
Imagine our dismay when we talked to locals the next day and found out the pool area had been closed since October! When we contacted the building manager we found out that they had strongly encouraged owners to disclose the status of the pool to potential renters - to avoid this exact situation. Dean denied this was true until we sent screenshots of emails. So unfortunately, during our two week stay we did not have access to pool, hot tub, BBQ’s or pool lounge area.
We do realize that things happen, appliances need repair, wifi goes down, etc. and that is understandable. That is a minor inconvenience. In this case, the owner knew about the closure for months and said nothing. We would have appreciated knowing the situation so we could make an informed decision.
By the end of our stay (and after several stressful and frustrating emails) we did negotiate a meagre amount of compensation. It did not feel satisfactory, as we would have preferred to enjoy a pool and BBQ on our vacation.

We were impressed by how clean the rental property was. The owners keep the unit up very well. Towels, toiletries, and NICE beach chairs (4) are provided. A few questions we had upon arrival were immediately answered by the owner. The location is across the street from Charley Young Beach which is at the northern end of Kama'ole I Beach. Snorkeling was very good around the lava point on the right of the beach. We recommend this property and would rent it again if visiting Maui.

The unit was clean, quiet, comfortable and had all the amenities we were looking for. The property was great as well with a nice pool and BBQ area. Dean was a great host - super responsive to any questions we had and provided helpful information for the area. The location was even better than we hoped - only minutes to the beach, and walking distance to everything we needed. Everyone staying at Pacific Shores super-friendly - we met a lot of people during our stay! Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed this unit. It was the perfect size for 2 couples. I really appreciated that there were some “extra” amenities; like spices and olive oil in the kitchen and 2 different size coolers, beach chairs and a wagon. (Which we didn’t use)
Dean even sent us a welcome bag with local goodies inside which was a lovely surprise.
The proximity to Charley Young beach was perfect. The pool area was very chill.
The only issue we had was that one of the burners on the stove stopped working, which we just worked around. When I let Dean know he responded right away.
I’d absolutely stay here again!!

Very convenient location to the busy streets going in and out of Kihei. And being right across the shoreline, you don't have to pack up the car to go to a beach, just walk across the street and you're on one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui. Kamaole I is great for swimming, whale & sunset watching and the scenery of other islands and the westside mountains is breathless.

Great experience overall. The owner of the property was extremely helpful prompt
To answer questions. The unit fit our family spacious and well maintained. Balcony with drying rack a bonus! We used the outside grill area in the pool to cook supper a few nights easy to use. I would say the unit itself is kid friendly but the building /property was not. The main tenants who I assume live there full time we’re not friendly toward my kids they were open and loud about how loud/playful they were at the pool. The “night watch guard” was completely overkill and yelled at every kid there. Didn’t realize that there was no “horseplay” or “Marco polo” at the pool to name a few. Excessive pool rules…luckily the weather was great and only used the pool while I was grilling but the overall vibe was kids not welcome. My kids are well behaved but it’s a pool and kids don’t just stand in it and visit… would book again as a couple but not family
